- Princess Peach: [First lines]
- [the TV screen in the plane shows a map of the ocean area around Isle Delfino, plotting its course, when a Shine Sprite icon on the island fills the screen and music plays]
- Princess Peach: Oh! Look at that!
- Welcome video Pianta: [transitions into a welcome video] Welcome to the sun-drenched tropical paradise of Isle Delfino! We're so pleased to welcome you to our beautiful home!
- [says local phrase; the video shows B-roll of other locations on the island]
- Welcome video Pianta: Come enjoy a natural wonderland to which we've added the world's finest resort facilities, a spectacular amusement park, and succulent seafood!
- Mario: Oh!
- [looks longingly at the food on the TV]
- Welcome video Pianta: This and more await you on Isle Delfino! Come relax and let us refresh your body and spirit.
- [says local phrase again]
- Princess Peach: [notices a dark figure in the background of the video that looks like Mario] That... that shadow...?
- [Mario is thinking about seafood; she turns to Toadsworth]
- Princess Peach: Toadsworth, did you see...?
- Toadsworth: [thinking about relaxing and having fun] Oh! Quite good!
- Princess Peach: [sighs and shakes her head]
- Princess Peach: But why would you pretend to be Mario?
- Bowser Jr.: Papa told me everything. He said "Mario's a bully; he never fights fair!" He said, "Jr., you gotta try to outsmart Mario." So I tried to get Mario sent to prison, but they didn't lock him up, and now he came to steal Mama Peach again! You... you pest! Stop following us!
- [hops back inside the Mecha Bowser's head to escape with its balloon]
- Judge: [slams his gavel twice] Court is now in session!
- Attorney: [speaking to the court] As you are no doubt aware, someone has been senselessly defacing fair Isle Delfino using some paint-like substance. The accused is charged with polluting our beautiful home, and yes, endangering our very way of life. Indeed, how can one not be aware of what is going on? Though it is daytime in Delfino Plaza, our poor residents tremble beaneath a veil of darkness. Expert Shine scholars have determined that this darkness has arisen because all of our gaurdians, the Shine Sprites, have vanished from their gathering spot at the Shine Gate. The reason? It's quite obvious. This horrible graffiti is to blame!
- [shows a "wanted" poster with a hand-drawn figure that resembles Mario]
- Attorney: Behold this sketch of the perpetrator based on eyewitness descriptions. The truth is obvious. The guilty part sits among us. It is none other than Mario!
- Princess Peach, Toadsworth: [both stand up and raise their right hand] Objection!
- Judge: Overruled! I judge the defendant guilty as charged! I hereby order the defendant to clean this entire island. Until Isle Delfino is completely free of his vile handiwork, Mario shall not be allowed to leave!
- [slams gavel twice]
- Judge: Court adjourned.
- F.L.U.D.D.: [in an overnight jail cell with Mario] This appears to be quite a predicament, Mario. Data analysis verifies that the island's inhabitants are indeed troubled by pollution. But the pollution itself is not the main problem.
- [shows him an image of a sun-like Shine Sprite]
- F.L.U.D.D.: Mario, you witnessed this object at the Airstrip, correct? It is a Shine Sprite. Shine Sprites are the source of power on Isle Delfino. They used to gather in great numbers at the Shine Gate, but the graffiti incident has polluted the island and most of the Shine Sprites have fled. There is no longer any power to support the peaceful lifestyle of the islanders. It is most pitiable. The only way to ensure the return of the Shine Sprites is to keep the island from becoming any dirtier. The perpetrator is likely at work even as we speak. And you, Mario, are being treated as a criminal. Tomorrow, we must do our best to resolve this situation.
- F.L.U.D.D.: [Mario encounters FLUDD for the first time; FLUDD unfolds and turns on] Power-up complete. Thank you for purchasing this item from Gadd Science, Incorporated. Preparing to register customer information. Scanning and classifying subject data...
- [FLUDD scans Mario's body in what we see as a heads-up display]
- F.L.U.D.D.: Subject identified as Mario; resident of the Mushroom Kingdom. Data storage complete. I am FLUDD - a Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device. I hope to be of assistance.
- [Mario puts FLUDD on his back]
- F.L.U.D.D.: Proceeding with user instruction.
- Bowser Jr.: Leave my Mama alone, you bad man! I won't let you take Mama Peach away!
- Princess Peach: [skeptical] Mama? Mama Peach? I'm your... Mama?
- Bowser Jr.: Yeah, Papa told me all about it. He told me my Mama got kidnapped by a bad man named Mario...
- Princess Peach: So, you're Bowser's son...
- Bowser Jr.: So *I* came here to rescue her!
- Princess Peach: So the graffiti... that was you?
- Bowser: Bwa ha ha! The water's great! Eh, Junior?
- Bowser Jr.: Sure is, papa! Come on in, Mama Peach!
- Princess Peach: [looks at the disgusting green water] Um, I think not.
- Bowser Jr.: [holds up his large paintbrush, taller than himself] This is my magic brush. When I draw with this all my wishes come true! A strange old man in a white coat gave it to me.
- F.L.U.D.D.: A strange old man... in a white coat...?
- Red Toad: [examining the paint] What's this icky, paint-like goop?
- Yellow Toad: It's moving!
- Toadsworth: Now now, boys! Don't touch that stuff!
- Toadsworth: I am most concerned with the well-being of the Princess in this dreadful heat. Master Mario, if you would, cross over to that shore and find some assistance!
- Toadsworth: Princess, look! On the statue's head!
- Princess Peach: What?
- [Shadow Mario appears, then spots Princess Peach]
- Princess Peach: MARIO?
- Princess Peach: [Bowser Jr. flies away with Peach in the balloon-powered Mecha Bowser head] No! Mario!
- F.L.U.D.D.: No! Not again!
- [sees where it's going]
- F.L.U.D.D.: It appears to be heading toward Corona Mountain!
- Police Officer: Go straight that way. You can't miss the mess, pal! Your first job's to get rid of all that ugliness. And remember, we'll be watching you, pal. We'll know if you start slacking off!
- Princess Peach: [Mario has just defeated a Piranha Plant in a goop generator] Nice work, Mario!
- Toadsworth: [looking at FLUDD] Mm, quite an unusual device... Is it some sort of pump?
- F.L.U.D.D.: I am FLUDD. Glad to meet you.
- Toad: [seeing two policemen approach] Hey, someone's coming!
- Princess Peach: [Mario arrives at the giant hot tub filled with green water where Bowser and his son are keeping Peach] Mario!
- Bowser Jr.: You again? Don't you ever give up?
- Bowser: Mario! How dare you disturb my family vacation?
- F.L.U.D.D.: [after falling out of Corona Mountain - and defeating Bowser -, Mario, Peach, and FLUDD land on a small island a short ways from Delfino Plaza; Mario sees FLUDD is damaged] Mario... was I... of... assis... tance?
- [shuts down/"dies"; Mario is overcome with grief]
- Princess Peach: [reassuringly] Mario, look!
- [they notice the last Shine Sprite entering the Shine Gate, at which point many Piantas and Nokis celebrate]
- Bowser: Jr., I've got something... difficult... to tell you about Princess Peach...
- Bowser Jr.: I know, she's not really my Mama...
- [Bowser opens his mouth but then realizes that it's good Junior knows the truth]
- Bowser Jr.: Someday... when I'm bigger...
- [pause; Bowser waits expectantly]
- Bowser Jr.: I wanna fight that Mario again!
- Bowser: That's my boy! Well put, son! The royal Koopa line is as strong as ever! But for now, let's just rest awhile.
- F.L.U.D.D.: [Shadow Mario takes off with Peach in a Koopa boat that travels towards a smaller island about a mile away at an extremely fast speed] That is Pinna Island. The villain's secret hideout must be there!
- F.L.U.D.D.: [Shadow Mario is rising a gigantic Bowser mecha out of the ground after Mario chased him there; FLUDD suddenly takes notice] What happened? Did the perpetrator get away?
