Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door/Unused Text

This is a sub-page of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

To do: A chunk of the Japanese text from Grifty's section onward appears to have been transcribed by hand rather than pasted in from the text files (spaces are narrow instead of wide). Double-check and fix where necessary.

E3 Text

Text that was only used for the game's E3 Demo.

Tattles

help_A_access Hah! I'm not telling you my secrets at the show! Wait for the final version!

help_door_access Hah! I'm not telling you my secrets at the show! Wait for the final version!

Placeholder tattles for the E3 demo. These don't appear on the Interactive Multi-Game Demo disc version of the game.

Petalburg

nok_01_for_E3

To the Special Stage!

Spoken by the gatekeeper Koopa. You were sent to a Bowser platforming stage afterwards. This also appears in the Interactive Multi-Game Demo disc version of the game, and was obviously created for demo purposes.

Hooktail Castle

E3_stg1_gon_00_kur

So, Hooktail Castle, huh?

Well... It sure is ominous, that's for sure.

This is a duplicate of a message used in the final version.

A screenshot from the demo

E3_stg1_gon_00_nok

Oh, man... Hooktail Castle...	The stories were all true... This place is TERRIFYING...
By the way, Mario, the bridge is out up ahead.	First, go in this building and use the jump platform to go to the second floor.
Stand on the pedastal on the second floor and press to become a paper airplane.

This message (complete with misspelling) is in the final game, but it ends after the second block of text. Full message was used in the GameCube Interactive Multi-Game Demo discs, which presents a possibility that this message was never intended for the real game, and instead was made just so the people playing the demo would know what to do.

General Messages

Placeholder

The error message in action.

No messages.[English]

メッセージがありません

Language-specific placeholder text that appears whenever the msgSearch function (which uses a key passed to it to try and find an appropriate message) fails to find a message. There is a copy for each language, though only the Japanese one is in its own language (which translates to maybe "There is no message"). These messages are not located inside the normal text files, which makes sense; the error message wouldn't be able to show up if the text files were corrupt. Instead, the messages are stored in boot.dol.

The message can also be triggered by forcing a partner active when they are not normally available during the time Doopliss has Mario's identity, and then confronting Doopliss with Vivian not the active party member, where Vivian's lines would normally play. The game has chances to softlock after the dialog finishes.

The error message in action.

The promoter asks that you [No messages.[English]].

ボスノ メイレイハ 『メッセージがありません』

The text can also be triggered if using a warp code to see the Rawk Hawk poster in the Champion Room, by reserving a match as Minor League status. The game softlocks after that, but if the code is used again, the message can be seen by interacting with the match reservation system again. An odd text behavior is that one right bracket and period are missing until the text is scrolled again, and are incorrectly colored as red. The message in red is supposed to be the requirement by Grubba or Jolene to advance a rank.

Ghost T.'s Diary

This is error text.

During a normal playthrough, players can choose to read Ghost T.'s diary for a brief period in Chapter 6, which results in an instant Game Over. If the diary is brought into another area via hacking, this dialogue prompt (which is still in English in the Japanese version) will appear. "Yes" and "No" appear to do nothing, while "Choose this option" triggers the Game Over sequence. See early fonts for why the font appears different for Latin characters.

A message for a corrupted save file. The final game doesn't allow an individually corrupted file to be deleted. The only option is to reformat the card.

Unused Battle Events

btl_msg_cant_move_zero_gravity

You can barely move!

An event that would most likely occur on the Moon.

Puni Gathering

To do: This text still exists in the remake, in global.msbt. Is it used there?

btl_msg_audience_puni_meeting

Many Punies gathered!

Would fill the audience with Punies, obviously. Possibly meant for the Chapter 2 boss.

Shy Guy Prank

btl_msg_escape_wall_close1

ヘイホーが　いたずらをした

The Shy Guy pulled a prank!

Unused action for the Shy Guy audience member, this would prevent the player from running away.

Menus

name_party7

りょうた

Located among the party member name strings at the beginning of global.txt is one for an eighth "partner" named Ryouta. This is, of course, referring to the game's director, Ryota Kawade. The string is only present in the Japanese version, and was removed wholesale from the international releases. The name is also unique in that it is rendered in hiragana, while the other characters all have katakana names.

An odd message from Grifty. Since Grifty always has stories to tell, and he'll retell them to you, this message never has an opportunity to pop up.

Merluvlee

To do: Maybe find a less obtrusive place for the STG comments, to make it clearer that they're not part of the internal name. Several of the comments contain map IDs associated with Petal Meadows/Hooktail Castle-- which maps do they correspond to? Could indicate early badge locations...

At the end of Merluvlee's data in tik_00.txt are a few of her badge hints from the original Paper Mario. Various quirks of the text indicate that these may have been placeholders for new hints and not simply leftovers, meaning that Merluvlee was at one point going to locate badges as she did in the first game:

• They use The Thousand-Year Door's formatting commands rather than Paper Mario's; except for the Mt. Lavalava copy-pastes, they also use furigana with ruby markup (which Paper Mario lacks). The Japanese lines have had the furigana left in to make this clear.
• The badge names are almost all different.
• As noted below, she has a unique line for locating badges owned by Dazzle, which was not reused from the first game.

Additionally, the text was retranslated in the English version (which introduced a few errors, like "Cold Cold Mountain" for Shiver Mountain). The new lines are more stiff and literal, possibly indicating they were only base translations that hadn't yet been "punched up" by the localization team. The equivalent Paper Mario text (both Japanese and English) has been included for comparison.

The un_badge entries are labeled from 0000 to 0006; un_badge_0006, however, is blank.

Mario Story (Jump Charge)	Paper Mario (Jump Charge)	Paper Mario RPG	The Thousand-Year Door
『ジャンチャージ』の バッジが　見えます お城の門の　ひろばの近く ロテンのお店に　うっているでしょう	I see...a Jump Charge Badge. It is for sale at the open-air shop in the plaza outside the castle gate.	『%s』の バッジが　見みえます お城しろの門もんの　ひろばの近ちかく ロテンのお店みせに　うっているでしょう	I see...a badge. It is called %s. It is on sale in Rowf's shop in the plaza near the castle gate.

The Thousand-Year Door hint uses a string format specifier in place of the badge name. Paper Mario does not, since all badges are in limited supply in that game (the Rowf badge hints are simply duplicate messages with the name hardcoded in), so Jump Charge's hint is provided as an example.

un_badge_starmaniac <!STG0_00>

Paper Mario RPG	The Thousand-Year Door
『%s』の バッジが　見みえます キラロが　もっています	I see...a badge. It is called %s. Dazzle has it.

Unlike the other messages, this is not from Paper Mario. Dazzle is referenced by name in both languages, and the Merlow hints are not nearly as barebones.

On the clouds above Flower Fields, at the top of the bean tree, on a cloud... You reach the wide cloud and see it there.

The English Thousand-Year Door hint says Flower Saver, but the Japanese one refers to Happy Flower.

You descend into the Private pipe in Toad Town, then head right on the underground path. You break a block and continue. You find a treasure chest containing the Badge. But beware! For I see a nasty enemy protecting the chest. You must defeat this dreaded creature to reach the Badge.	『ガツーンナグーリ』の バッジが　見みえます キノコタウンの　ドカンに　入はいり 地下ちかの道みちを　右みぎへと　すすむ ブロックを　こわした　そのむこう たからばこの中なかに　それは　あるでしょう それを　まもっている　てきも　見みえます たおさなければ　とれませんよ	I see a Quake Hammer badge. Down the pipe in Toad Town... Down below, to the right... Past the broken block. It is in the chest there. I also see an enemy there that you must defeat.

Gatsūn Nagūri (Power Smash) was mistranslated as Quake Hammer in the Thousand-Year Door hint. Interestingly, there is a Power Smash badge in Toad Town Tunnels in Paper Mario, but the hint for it is different from Shrink Stomp's.

I didn't mean to embarrass you in front of your belt. stg3_tou_294_09_win Oh dear, I do believe I made that chicken angry. stg3_tou_294_10_win In any case, we've larger issues to deal with. The map most assuredly pointed here... If the ornament on that fellow's belt isn't the real Crystal Star, then... Where in the world could the real one be? stg3_tou_294_11_win Mario, darling! Did I just hear your Mailbox SP go off? Who would be e-mailing you? stg3_tou_294_13_win My! Who is this X fellow? He speaks as if he's an expert on the Crystal Star... What would motivate him to help us in our quest, though? This seems suspicious...

All four possible partners have dialogue when first entering the major league locker room. Because Yoshi is required to beat the Iron Clefts, and partners can't be changed before this cutscene, only his dialogue is used.

(Source: N. Onymous (translation))

There's a lot of descriptive text in the freight car that is never used. It seems the player would have been able to look through the crates in the room, likely while in search of Ghost T.'s diary. The third set of messages is likely for when the player finds the diary, as a book would be able to fit between drink bottles. It could also apply to the missing Gold Ring or Shell Earrings, but none of the passengers' missing items are found in the freight car.

Riverside Station

Outside Station

トロン (Toron / Zip Toad)

トロンの　ニセモノよ That's the Zip Toad impersonator.

やっぱり　ニセモノだったのね　この人 だって　ホンモノの　トロンだったら あんなに　えらそうに　しないはずだもの Just as I thought. It's an IMPOSTER. The REAL Zip Toad wouldn't act so high-and-mighty.

An unused tattle for the fake Zip Toad / Doopliss, who runs away immediately after getting to Riverside Station.

トホホホ・・・ Boohoohoo...	しかし　マジョリンは　つぎなる 手を　うっていた　みたいだぜ But it looks like Beldam's been making the next move.	アンタも　あきらめた方が いいんじゃないのか？ Shouldn't you give up too?
しかし・・・ オレは　マジョリンに　ハナから あてに　されてなったのか・・・ But...it seems I haven't been counting on Beldam since the beginning.	トホホホ・・・ Boohoohoo...

Completely unknown who would have spoke this dialogue. The only likely candidate is Doopliss, since he knows who Beldam is.

Inside Station

stg6_eki_00

このエレベーターを　使ったら きりかえスイッチが　ある部屋まで まっすぐ　行けるんですけど・・・ If you use this elevator, you can go straight to the room where the changeover switch is...

エレベーターを　動かすキーが じむ室に　あるのです・・・ But the key to turn it on is in the office...

わるいヤツらに　せんりょうされて 手も　あしも　出ないのです・・・ Bad guys have taken it over. I can't do a thing against them...

An additional note from the people who once occupied the station. This might have been removed because it gives away the location of the key.

を　おしながらを　グルグル　回して を　はなすと　ウルトラジャンプ！

While holding the A Button, rotate the Control Stick,
then release to do an Ultra Jump!

(Source: N. Onymous (translation))

A simplied version of the Ultra Boots tutorial. Possibly a temporary message.

Poshley Sanctum

stg6_pik_26

いまは　もう　だいざの上に ガーネットスターは　ない

The Garnet Star is no longer on the pedestal.
This should appear when examining the pedestal where the Garnet Star was placed. A similar message pops up when examining the pedestal of the fake Star.

X-Naut Base

stg7_aji_34 シンニュウシャ　ハッケン！ INTRUDERS ALERT!

stg7_aji_35 タダチニ　ハイジョスル！！ ELIMINATE IMMEDIATELY!!

This appears in the main X-naut control room. The use of Katakana here is meant to convey a robotic voice.

Palace of Shadow

Throne Room

Goombella	Koops	Flurrie	Yoshi
stg8_las_106_kur あかないわ　マリオ！ It won't open, Mario!	stg8_las_106_nok マリオさん　あきません！ Mario, it's not opening!	stg8_las_106_win マリオちゃん　あかないわン！ Mario, dear, it isn't opening!	stg8_las_106_yos ダメだ　あかないぜ！ No good--it ain't opening!
Vivian	Bobbery	Ms. Mowz
stg8_las_106_viv あかないわ　マリオ！ It won't open, Mario!	stg8_las_106_bom マリオ　あかないぞ！ Mario, it won't open!	stg8_las_106_chu ひらきませんわ　マリオ！ It won't come open, Mario!

An odd message for all partners. There's nothing to open in the throne room in the final version, unless they're talking about the door out.

Pit of 100 Trials

msg_jon_trick_1 The devices on this level are now active. You can no longer change allies during battle!	msg_jon_trick_2 The device on this level is now active. You can no longer use your hammer in battle!
msg_jon_trick_3 The device on this level is now active. You can no longer use your jump in battle!	msg_jon_trick_4 The device on this level is now active. You now receive double coins after battle!

Messages for four different traps/devices that would have made the Pit of 100 Trials harder to complete. Less monotonous, though.

irai_30_009

ラクガキは　ねんいりに　かかれていて きえない！！

The graffiti is carefully written. It won't erase!!
This is a shorter version of a message seen when examining the graffiti on floor 50 of the pit.

Post-Game Partner Text

There are lines in the game hinting that after you beat the Shadow Queen and return to Rogueport, you'd have to gather up all of your partners again. This feature was changed to have all of your partners come back immediately.

Three of these exchanges were localized, three were dummied out, and the last one was simply left untranslated.
