Paper Mario/Unlocalized Japanese Text

This is a sub-page of Paper Mario.

...But does it make sense? The translations on this page need to be proofread. If you are fluent enough in this language, please make any corrections necessary!

To do: Add message IDs.

The Japanese version of Paper Mario has reams of unused text, most of which was either left untranslated or removed from all international releases.

Dialogue

Japanese	Translation
キミが　もってきた　ヘイホーのメモには 『見はりは　『レモンあめ』が 　だいこうぶつ　　　　　　　』 ・・・って　かいてあったよ	"The guard's favorite food is Lemon Candy." Hmm... That's what the Shy Guy's note says.
このメモを　よんでほしいのかい？ え～と・・・ ヘイホーのことばで　かいてあるね メモの　ないようは・・・　と 『見はりは　『レモンあめ』が 　だいこうぶつ　　　　　　　』 と　かいてあるよ なんの　ことだろう？ キミには　わかるかい？	You'd like me to translate this note for you? Let's see... Ah ha! It seems to be written in the language of the Shy Guys. Let's see here...yes...accents... ...mmm...silent "d", hmmm... Yes. It says, "The guard's favorite food is Lemon Candy." What an odd thing to write down. Any idea what it's about?
このメモを　よんでほしいのかい？ う～ん・・・ ヘイホーのことばで かいてあるみたいだけど・・・ ボクのじしょが　あれば　すぐに よめるんだけど　ヘイホーたちに とられちゃってるからね・・・ とりあえず　このメモは ボクが　あずかっておくよ	You'd like me to translate this note for you? Let's see... Ah ha! It seems to be written in the language of the Shy Guys. Well, this would be an easy task if I still had my Dictionary, but the Shy Guys stole it. I'll tell you what: I'll take care of the note for now.

Lines relating to the unused Suspicious Note item, which would have given a hint toward Anti Guy's weakness. In the international versions, the Suspicious Note instead triggers the same dialogue as its used counterpart. The last message in the set is identical to the used version.

"Right now, we have no letters."

Japanese	Translation
はい　こんにちは・・・ ここは　まちの　ゆうびんきょくです マリオさんの　なかまたちに とどいた手紙は ここに　きてもらえば　よめますぞ 手紙が　きていないか ときどき　たしかめに　きてください	Yes, hello... This is the post office. You can read any letters that arrive for you or for your other party members. Please drop by now and then to check and see if you've received any mail.
はいはい　マリオさんですな こんにちは え～と・・・ 今は　おあずかり　している手紙は ありません 手紙が　きていないか ときどき　たしかめに　きてください	Ah yes, Mario. Yes, hello. Well... Right now, we have no letters. Please drop by now and then to check and see if you've received any mail.

In the Japanese version, the Postmaster says this if you talk to him before receiving any letters (which under normal circumstances is impossible, as the Goomba Bros.' letter to Goombario is available as soon as you enter Toad Town). Trying to do so in the international versions just results in him saying nothing.

Japanese	Translation
ヘイホーに　あらされた　お花を もとに　もどしてあげなくっちゃ まごころを　こめて おせわを　すれば すぐに　もとどおりになるわ	I have to get the flowers back to how they were before the Shy Guys trampled them. I know that if I put all my heart into saving them, they'll be back to normal in no time!
タネを　もらってきてくれたのね これで　フラワーガーデンが すてきになるわ	Oh, you brought me a seed? Now my flower garden will look even nicer!

These messages were intended for Minh T. The first would be for when she's repairing her garden after the Shy Guys damaged it, and the second would be for when she receives a fifth Magical Seed (there are only four in the game).

Japanese (unused)	Translation	Japanese (used)	English
おねがいします　マリオさん！ フラワーガーデンで　あそんでる ヘイホーを　やっつけてください！ リップちゃんが　かわいそうで 見ていられないんです！	Oh, Mario! Do something! Those Shy Guys are messing around in Minh T.'s precious flower garden! Look at her! She's so sad! I can't bear to see her in such pain!	おねがいします　マリオさん！ フラワーガーデンで　あばれてる ヘイホーを　やっつけてください！ リップちゃんが　かわいそうで 見ていられないんです！	Oh, Mario! Do something! Those Shy Guys are trampling all over Minh T.'s precious flower garden! Look at her! She's so sad! I can't bear to see her in such pain!

This is very similar to a line already spoken by Minh T.'s admirer. The only difference is the use of あそんでる (playing) versus あばれてる (running riot).

Japanese	English equivalents
この先は　まよいの森です まよってしまうので 入らないように　してください	Beyond here lies dark and gloomy Forever Forest. You'll get lost for sure, so I'd advise you not to enter.
キャシーさんの だいじな　フライパンが ぬすまれちゃったのーーっ！！ ヘイホーの　しわざだわっ キャシーさんの　ファンとして だまっていられないのよ～っ おねがい！　マリオさん キャシーさんの　フライパンを とりかえしてあげて！	Did you hear? Tayce T.'s best Frying Pan was stolen! It was the work of Shy Guys! I'm a huge fan of Tayce T.'s. It really gets me steamed that they'd do such a thing! Please, Mario! Try to get her Frying Pan back!
ちょっと　ちょっと ごきげんな　サウンドを　けさないでよ せっかく　ノリノリだったのにさ	Hey, hey! Hands off the dial! That's my jam, right there! Don't turn off the funk! I was getting my groove on!
クリスタルの木を　そだてたことが ハナコに　バレちゃったんです でも　いがいと　おこってなかったの なにが　カノジョを　かえたのかしら もしかして　あなた？	Petunia heard that I planted the Crystal Tree, but she wasn't angry at all! Weird! I wonder who changed her view? Maybe you did...

Some unused duplicates of used messages.

Japanese	Translation
あっ　マリオさん！	Ah, Mario!

A message that could go just about anywhere in the game.

Japanese (unused)	Translation	Japanese (used)	English
あちゃ～ わいの　じゃくてんを　しっとったとは あんさん　なかなか　やりますな！ わいの　まけですわ ほな　さいなら	Oh wow... You must really be something if you knew about my weakness! I guess I have to give up. See you later...	わいに　かつとは あんさん　メチャクチャ　つよいでんな わいの　まけですわ ほな　さいなら	Wow. You must be really strong. I mean, beating a guy my size? I guess I have to give up. See you later...

It seems Kent C. Koopa would have said something different after battle, had Mario taken advantage of his weakness to sleep.

Japanese	Translation
カラカラさばくの地図だ	It's a map of Dry Dry Desert.
そっちへ　にげても　ムダだぞ！ ものども　マリオの　にげ道を しっかり　ふさげよ！	No point in fleeing that way! I've firmly sealed up your means of escape, Mario!
ものども　かかれぇいっ！ マリオを　やっつけて クッパさまに　気に入られるのだっ	Get 'em, guys! Let's beat that Mario, and earn King Bowser's favor!
レッドぉ・・・　どうしよう・・・	Red... what do we do...?
だいじょうぶ！ 気を　おとすな！！ これからが　本当のしょうぶ！！ オレたちの　すばらしい力を 見せてやるんだ！！	Relax! Don't give up! Here's where it really starts!! Let's show off our awesome power!!
おぉーーーーーーーーーーーーーーっ！！	Yaaaaaaaa!!!
ひっさーつ！！	One-shotted!!
ノコブロスを　やっつけちゃった！ きもちいいー！ やるじゃん　マリオ さすがに　あたいが 見こんだだけのことは　あるわね	We beat the Koopa Bros.! This feels GREAT! Nice work, Mario. You certainly lived up to my expectations!
とにかく　いくぜ！ オレの　ぜんかいパワーを うけてみろーっ！！	Anyway, let's go! Get a load of my full power!!

Various lines belonging to characters from the first two chapters, including the Koopa Bros. and Bombette. Notably, one of them refers to a map of Dry Dry Desert, which may have corresponded to one of the unused map items.

Japanese	Translation
キャハハハハハ・・・	Kyahahahahaha...
その『おもり』の使い方を　しらなきゃ 先へは　すすめっこ　ないよ ヒッヒッヒッヒ・・・・	It's not like you can get anywhere without knowing how to use that Weight. Heh heh heh heh...
ああ～っ！ 『おもり』の使い方まで　バレちゃった レサレサおじょうさまに おこられちゃうよ！ ゴッキゲンな　サウンドに だまされたぁ～～っ！！	Gah! I let slip how to use the Weight! Lady Bow's gonna be steamed at me! That sweet music totally threw me off-guard!!
また　きてくださいね	Come again, alright?
ふぎゅ・・・	Fugyu...

Lines for the Boos in Boo's Mansion. Two of them look like they were intended to be dialogue for the Boo guarding the Weight, had you been able to talk to him after collecting it (he disappears once the treasure chest is opened).

Japanese	Translation
やったじゃん これで　雲が　はれるぜ	We did it! Now the clouds are going away!
ゴワッハッハッハッハッハッハッハッ！！ うわさのマリオも たいしたこと　なかったでゴワス	Gahh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! That Mario we'd heard so much about was no trouble at all!

Unused lines for Lakilester and Huff N. Puff.

"It's a secret passageway!"

27-393	キノコ城だよ	It's Peach's Castle.	Peach's Castle grounds, intro/ending version (osr_00)

Tattles for locations where Goombario is normally either unavailable or can't use Tattle.

Japanese	Translation
キューちゃんだよ こんなに　あついところで　なければ キューちゃんと　いっしょにねてみたいな どんなかんじだろうなぁ キューちゃんとは　ねかたがちがうから いっしょには　ねれないけどね	It's a Raven. Once we're out of this heat, I want to try cuddling a Raven when I'm going to bed. I wonder what that feels like. But they don't sleep the way we do, so I guess I can't.

This Tattle for a Raven is located amongst those for the prisoners in Bowser's Castle, which is very strange (and implies there was a Raven present at the castle party in the beginning of the game). There are no Ravens outside Lavalava Island in the final game.

"That's Jr. Troopa."

Japanese	Translation
コワッパだよ	That's Jr. Troopa.
しょうぐんヘイホーだよ	That's General Guy.
しょうぐんヘイホーが　のってるせんしゃの でんきゅうだよ	That's the light bulb on General Guy's tank.
しゅうだんの　ヘイホーだよ	It's a crowd of Shy Guys.
ケムシだよ	That's Fuzzipede.
大魔王クッパだ	It's the Evil King Bowser.
カメックババだ	That's Kammy Koopa.
ティンクだ	That's Twink.
マリンチョロボンだよ	That's an Aqua Fuzzy.
赤クリボーだよ	That's a Red Goomba.
赤パタクリだよ	That's a Red Paragoomba.
クリオ	Goombario

Tattles for enemies you normally can't Tattle (or even encounter). The Shy Guy crowd is not the same one as the Shy Squad, which has a different name (ぐんだんヘイホー).

☆

Located immediately after the above is a lone star, in a section all its own. Kinda like Texas.

Error Messages

In the Japanese version, characters in the south area of Toad Town will each give a unique message if they're spoken to earlier than intended. All of them are extremely minor variations on the same sentence, with the exception of a few that are meant to sound in-character, like those for Fice T. and the pink Bub-ulb. It is possible to see them by abusing out-of-bounds glitches to bypass the collapsed logs blocking the area prior to completing Chapter 1.

While not readily apparent in-game, there are actually two to three copies (depending on the NPC) of each message, which display based on the player's progress: one for the beginning of the game up to the first Peach segment (StoryProgress values 80 to 95), one for the rest of the Prologue until Merlon unmasks the Koopa Bros. (96 to 9B) and one for the entirety of Chapter 1, up until Mario beats Jr. Troopa and returns to Toad Town (9C to B4). The presence of these story-dependent duplicates could suggest that the south end of town was, at one point, not going to be blocked off.

These messages--as well as the code that handles them--were removed in the international versions, so speaking to these NPCs there will simply give you their post-Chapter 1 dialogue... except for the Bub-ulb. His Chapter 1 dialogue check was accidentally left in, but he is not programmed to say anything should the condition be met, so the game will softlock if you try to talk to him once more after receiving the Magical Seed.

02-294	ヘイホーイベント中だから　出ないはず	The Shy Guy event is going on, so this shouldn't appear.	Right Toad kid

Similarly to above, these lines are used by the Toad mom and (one of) her kids in west Toad Town during Chapter 4 (StoryProgress values F1 to 06). Their house is locked during the Shy Guy invasion, so it's not possible to talk to them without glitching or hacking (the line used when approaching the door is spoken by the dad from inside).

To do: These aren't the only copies... who uses 292/293 and 295/296?

			05-039	Green Toad in front of Toad Town Station
			05-118 – 119	Dane T. and Mini T.

Additionally, the Toads in the train station area have their own placeholder messages for Chapter 4. Unlike the others, these were retained but dummied out in the international versions.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: These use flags F1 to 06 as well, but those span the entirety of Chapter 4, and it's not like the station area's blocked off then... so under what circumstances, if any, do they appear?

32-071	わざの　せつめい ピーチフラッシュ	Move description Peach Beam

Placeholder entries for the Star Beam and Peach Beam, which go unused since there is no way to access them from the Spirits menu.

Japanese	Translation
なかま	Party
ジャンプ	Jump
ハンマー	Hammer
アイテム	Items

Earlier battle menu options that were removed instead of being localized. The only notable entry here is the Party listing, a leftover from when partners were accessed from their own submenu instead of being under Strategies. The latter three lack the formatting commands of the used battle options.

Japanese	Translation
てきは　うごけなくなったぞ！	The enemy became unable to move!
つぎのばんでは　２回　うごけるぞ！	Will move twice next turn!
アップさせたいものを ひとつ　えらぼう	Choose the one you wish to [power] up.

Status messages. It's not clear whether the second one is referring to the player or the enemy; it may have been intended to apply to either.

Japanese	Translation	International
を　グルグルまわそう！	Spin 　　　around and around!	(NOT USED ANY LONGER!)
を　こうごに　れんだしよう！	Press　　　 and 　　　 alternately!	(NOT USED ANY LONGER!)
ちゃくちする直前に　　　を　おそう！	Press 　　　 just before you land!	(NOT USED ANY LONGER!)

Cut Action Commands. The first one was probably removed because of Mario Party, the second for being too difficult. The third belongs to the unused Quake Jump badge, which was probably left unused because it's too powerful.

Japanese	Translation
今は　なかまが　使えないぞ！	You can't use your partners now!
こうげきできる　てきが　いないぞ！	There are no enemies that you can attack!

Unused battle warnings, which seem to be covered pretty well by other messages.

Text from an earlier version of the pause menu. Possibly two earlier versions, given the presence of entries that are variations of the same term (もちもの vs アイテム for Items, for example). The three Levels at the end are probably referring to partner ranks.

Japanese	Translation

Japanese	Translation
ほしのかけら　　　　５コイン バッジ　　　　　　２５コイン スーパーブロック　５０コイン ウルトラブロック　５０コイン	Star Piece 5 Coins Badge 25 Coins Super Block 50 Coins Ultra Block 50 Coins

It looks like at some point there was supposed to be an Ultra Block to upgrade party members to Ultra Rank, instead of using a second Super Block. Sprites for it still exist in the data.

Japanese	Translation	English
ノーマルコース やさしめコース やらない	Normal Course Easy Course Don't choose	None

A menu for selecting some kind of course. Comes right after the options for Jump Attack and Smash Attack, so it may have been for the Playroom. Interestingly, there's an unused Playroom map located right after the one for Smash Attack, which this may or may not have been related to.

Untranslated menu description placeholders, most of which are devoted to party members. These reveal that a number of other species were under consideration for partners at some point, including a Ninji, a Chain Chomp, and a Bandit. There are also entries for Goompa, Goombaria, and Twink, as well as a mysterious character only named "Red". Additionally, partners originally ranked up three times instead of two.

Party member attack names. It looks like there are only enough for two more party members, and the rest of the text was supposed to go to something else. The first attack name is repeated three times for all of the party members in the Japanese version (the repeats were removed internationally), and the first unused set of attacks shares this trait. The last one (Get Sent Off Somewhere) may be related to the unused "Please Come Back" item.

What looks like a bunch of display tests for different functions of the text system.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: These would probably make more sense with screenshots.

Items and Badges

These have no ID associated with them; most exist only as leftover text, while a few have corresponding graphics in the ROM. For items that did have some functionality programmed in but weren't used anyway, see the Unused Items sub-page.

Name	Items menu description	Shop menu description	Pause menu description	Notes
むてきスター Invincibility Star	３ターンの間　マリオにちょくせつ こうげきしたてきに　１ポイントのダメージ ＆マリオのこうげき力＋１ポイント Lasts 3 turns; enemies attacking Mario directly will take 1 point of damage & Mario's attack power +1 point	お星さまの　パワーを　かりて すこしの間　むてきだぞ Calls on the power of the Stars to make you invincible for a short time.		It seems the classic Starman powerup was going to be an item at one point, like in Sticker Star and Color Splash.
パパパパラソル Pa-Pa-Pa-Parasol	５ターンの間　てきのえんきょりこげきを ふせぐ Lasts 5 turns; blocks ranged enemy attacks.	じょうぶな　カサを　ひらければ とんでくるもの　ふせいでくれるぞ Opening this sturdy umbrella will block projectiles.
まほうのかがみ Magic Mirror	３ターンの間　てきのこうげきを そのままあいてにかえす Lasts 3 turns; reflects enemies' attacks back at them, unchanged.	ふしぎな　ふしぎな　まほうのかがみ あいてのこうげき　はねかえすぞ A strange and wondrous magic mirror. Bounces back opponents' attacks.
おくちにチャック Zip It	くちを　ひらけけなくして　じゅもん かみつきのアクションを　できなくする A mouth-clamping spell that prevents bite moves from working.
フクロウのめがね Owl's Specs	てきの　くらやみこうげきを　ふせぐ Blocks enemies' attacks in the dark.	くらいところでも　これを　使えば あんしん　あんしん Use these and you can rest easy, even in dark places.
へんしんステッキ Transformation Cane	パーティーキャラにへんしんして パーティーキャラのコマンドを 使ううことができる ３ターンご　マリオはもとに　もどる Lets you transform into a party member and use their commands. After 3 turns, Mario returns to normal.	こいつを　使えば　しばらく なかまに　へんしんできるぞ Using this'll turn you into a party member for a while.
メタルぼうし Metal Cap				All that exists of this is the name string. Evidently Super Mario 64's Metal Cap would have made a reappearance, possibly as an early version of the Stone Cap.
パワーアップカプセル Power-Up Capsule	パーティーキャラをパワーアップさせることができる Allows you to power up your party members.	データなし No data	パーティーキャラをパワーアップさせることができる Allows you to power up your party members.	Very similar to a listing for "Power Capsules" seen in early screenshots of the pause menu. The concept of spending consumable items to upgrade party members would later be revisited in The Thousand-Year Door.

Japanese	Translation
かいふくハート	Recovery Heart

ハートのうつわ	Heart Container
スターポイント	Star Point
ぜんかいふくハート	Full Recovery Heart
かいふくフラワー	Recovery Flower

In the Japanese version, the battle-related pickups have names when hacked into the items menu. The only actually unused item in this list is the Heart Container.

Badges

Name	Items menu description	Shop menu description	Pause menu description	Notes
ヨブクリジー Goompa Summon	データなし No data		マップ用　データなし For field; no data	Goompa's name is spelt slightly differently here-- the last part is rendered in katakana (ジー) rather than hiragana (じい).
ヨブボムヘー Bob-Omb Summon	データなし No data		マップ用　データなし For field; no data	Same for "Bob-Omb" here, which is usually spelt ボムへい or ボム兵.
ミニミニナグーリＸ Shrink Smash X	ダミーメッセージ Dummy message			This is not the same as the regular Shrink Smash badge, which is more complete despite also going unused.
ブンシーン Alter Ego	データなし No data	マリオが２つにぶんしんする あいてのこうげきの　あたるかくりつが １／２になる Splits Mario into two copies; reduces the chance of incoming attacks landing by one-half.	マップ用　データなし For field; no data
ヨケヨケー Yokeyokē	データなし No data	アクションコマンドが　きまらなくても アクションコマンドが せいこうしたこととみなす Even when the Action Command isn't pulled off, it will still be considered successful.	マップ用　データなし For field; no data	Both of these are likely referring to blocking attacks. Their names are a play on よける, meaning to avoid contact with or dodge something.

ジャンプガエーシ Jump Return	データなし No data	せっきんせんこうげきを　しかけてきた てきのこうげきにたいして アクションコマンドが　せいこうすると マリオは　あいてからのこうげきを ジャンプでよけて（ダメージ０）　さらに あいてに『ブーツのレベル』ポイントの ダメージをあたえることができる If the Action Command is successful, Mario jumps over approaching enemies (avoiding damage) and then lands a Jump attack, doing damage based on the current Boots level.	マップ用　データなし For field; no data
ブンシーン Alter Ego	データなし No data	マリオが２つにぶんしんする あいてのこうげきの　あたるかくりつが １／２になる （アクションコマンドせいこうで　てきからの 　ダメージがはんぶんになるのはつうじょうとおなじ） Splits Mario into two copies, halving the chance of an opponent's attack landing. (Successfully guarding attacks with the Action Command will still block half the damage as usual.)	マップ用　データなし For field; no data	Seems to be an alternate version of the Alter Ego item/Badge above.

Japanese (first copy)	Japanese (2 through 4)	Translation
星は　ねがいを　かなえてくれます そんな　星たちの　きらめく夜空		Stars are known to grant wishes. Far away in the night sky
その　はるかかなたに	その　はるか　かなたに	where these stars shine
星の国が　ありました そこには　星たちの　力のみなもと みんなのねがいを　かなえる力を　もった 『スターのつえ』という　たからものが　ありました つえは　星の国のきゅうでんに　おさめられ ７人の星のせいたちによって たいせつに　たいせつに　まもられていたのでした ・・・ところが　ある日 たいへんな　じけんが　おこりました 大魔王クッパが　あらわれたのです クッパは　『スターのつえ』を　うばいとり さらに　つえの力を　使って 星のせいたちまでも　とらえてしまったのです 星の子が　きゅうでんに　かけつけたときは つえも　星のせいも　うしなわれたあとでした ものがたりは　ここから　はじまります		was a land called Star Haven. In that Haven was the source of the stars' power, a treasure called the Star Rod that could grant anyone's wishes. The Rod was kept in the sanctuary of Star Haven, where the seven Star Spirits protected it carefully... very carefully. But one day... something terrible happened. The Evil King Bowser appeared. Not only did he snatch away the Star Rod, but he used its power to capture the Star Spirits as well. When the Star Kids rushed to the sanctuary, the Rod and Spirits were already gone. It is here where our story begins.

After the game's intro text is four copies of an older version of it, part of which can be seen in the screenshot at right. The biggest difference is that the part where Bowser invades is treated as part of the story, rather than him butting in and messing things up. The first copy is missing a space in the third line, but otherwise they're identical. They include the same formatting commands as the regular intro text.

Japanese	Translation
数日ご・・・	A few days later...

Apparently there was going to be a title card marking the flash forward to Mario and Luigi's house during the ending.

Japanese	Translation
♡　リップの　フラワーガーデン　♡ 　みんなで　お花を　うえましょう	♡ Minh T.'s Flower Garden ♡ Let's all plant some flowers

At some point, there was supposed to be a sign for the garden in Toad Town.

Japanese	Translation	International
バクダン使用キンシ！ 　　　　　　　　　　　　　ヘイホーより	Use of bombs prohibited! 　　　　　　　　　　　　　Shy Guy	(NOT USED ANY LONGER!)

This message is positioned right after the signs for the Windy Mill, but the mention of a Shy Guy probably puts its intended location somewhere in the Toy Box.

Now, he'll be able to proceed to Shooting Star Summit, where he's been told the Star Spirits will meet him. But what could this important thing that the Spirits claim is essential to save Princess Peach be? With unease and anticipation in his heart, Mario sets his sights on Shooting Star Summit...
