• Otacon : Snake, what is it?

  Solid Snake : Something about that hedgehog rubs me the wrong way...

  Otacon : Oh, you mean Sonic the Hedgehog? But everyone loves Sonic. He's a big star. Do you have any idea how excited people are that he's here in Brawl?

  Solid Snake : Yeah, yeah, I know, but there's something about him I just don't like.

  Otacon : But why? You must have some kind of reason.

  Solid Snake : Nope, just don't like him.

• Solid Snake : This guy kind of gives me the creeps.

  Roy Campbell : That's Wario, Snake. Wario first appeared as Mario's rival, but he really made his name in the WarioWare games. Watch out for Wario's bite. It's not just damage you take from it.

  Solid Snake : What do you mean, Colonel?

  Roy Campbell : Wario loves garlic. He eats whole cloves of it day and night. So try not get caught in his mouth. Once that smell gets on you, it'll stick to you for quite a while.

  Solid Snake : That's a scary thought.

  Roy Campbell : He also attacks by farting. He can fart to fly around, too.

  Solid Snake : By farting? are you kidding me?

  Roy Campbell : Sadly, no. I am not kidding. If his belly starts to bulge, watch out.

• Solid Snake : This is Snake...

  Slippy : Copy, Snake! This is Slippy!

  Solid Snake : Whaa - ! Who is this? What are you, some kind of frog?

  Slippy : Easy there, buddy! Just thought I'd hope on the wireless and give you a holler. Don't get mad!

  Solid Snake : Hacked right into my channel, huh...

  Slippy : But I'm not there to mess nothin' up. Don't worry.

  Solid Snake : [grumbles]  ...

  Slippy : Just so ya know, Falco uses a Blaster and Reflector that I designed, Just like Fox does. But Falco will kick his Reflector and send it flyin' around. Just showin' off, if you ask me.

  Solid Snake : No reason a weapon can't have more than one use. in fact, I'd say it's versatility shows how well you designed it.

  Slippy : Hey, maybe so! I feel all fuzzy now! Thanks, Snake!

  Solid Snake : Maybe next time we meet, you can design me a weapon...

• Roy Campbell : Snake, you know who that is?

  Solid Snake : You're kidding, right? It's Mario.

  Roy Campbell : Mario made his first appearance in 1981, and since then, he's become a worldwide phenomenon. There's probably not a single person who doesn't know Mario. He's that famous.

  Solid Snake : Good thing I survived long enough to meet him on the field of battle, huh.

  Roy Campbell : This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, Snake. Now get out of there and show him what you're made of. No regrets.

  Solid Snake : Got it.

• Solid Snake : Mei Ling, Samus took her clothes off!

  Mei Ling : That's just her in her zero suit, Snake

  Solid Snake : Without that bulky power suit, she's gotten alot more agile. You know, I bet if I took of all this heavy gear, I could catch her...

  Mei Ling : Um, yeah, you wish. Even without the Power Suit, all that training she did with the Chozo has made her a super athlete. I don't think a normal human could keep up. Just look at her.

  Solid Snake : ...Her loss.

• Solid Snake : Hey, that's Captain Falcon, isn't it?

  Otacon : Good eye, Snake! He's F-Zero Pilot Number 07!

  Solid Snake : You know... seeing Captain Falcon here reminds me... we should do that thing we've always wanted to try!

  Otacon : Ohhh, yeah! That thing! Good idea! Ok, ready? Go!

  Solid Snake : Falcooon PUNCH!

  Otacon : Falcon Kiiiiick!

• Solid Snake : Otacon, who's the guy with the sword?

  Otacon : That's Link. He's the hero of Hyrule. That blade in his hand is called the Master Sword, also known as the "Blade of Evil's Bane."

  Otacon : He also has a whole arsenal of items at his disposal - bombs and arrows, a shield, a boomerang, and a Clawshot. He's a force to be reckoned with.

  Solid Snake : Gear is only useful when it's used at the right time and place. Just lugging a ton of it around doesn't do you any good.

  Otacon : ...I, uh... I wouldn't be talking if I were you, Snake...

  Solid Snake : What's that supposed to mean?

  Otacon : You tell me, Mr. Utility Belt.

  Solid Snake : [grumbles]  ...

• Solid Snake : Hey, Otacon. I got a woman here in a power suit.

  Otacon : Huh? How'd you know she was a woman? Yeah, that'd be Samus Aran, the most renowned bounty hunter in the galaxy.

  Otacon : Her arm cannon packs quite a wallop. If you get hit with a charged shot from that thing, you can kiss your butt good-bye.

  Solid Snake : Hmm... sounds like my kind of woman...

  Otacon : Yeah, well, just don't get too close, Snake. Samus is deadly. After space pirates killed her parents, she was raised by the Chozo and trained in the fighting arts.

  Otacon : She's been places and seen things that people like you and me can't even begin to imagine.

  Solid Snake : But underneath that cold, metal exterior beats the heart of a woman...

• Solid Snake : That guy with the mustache...

  Roy Campbell : Ha. You mean the "King of Second Bananas?"

  Solid Snake : Hey, that's Luigi! Show him a little respect!

  Roy Campbell : Look at that pale skin. He's been living in his brother's shadow for too long.

  Solid Snake : That's a low blow, Colonel!

  Roy Campbell : Face it, Snake! Once a kid brother, always a kid brother!

  Solid Snake : Colonel, what's gotten into you?

  Roy Campbell : La li lu le lo! La li lu le lo! La li lu le lo!

  Solid Snake : Colonel, snap out of it! Colonel! Cooooooloneeeeeeel!

• Roy Campbell : Snake, I see you're fighting Zelda.

  Solid Snake : Yeah, I guess. Doesn't feel right fighting someone in a dress, though...

  Roy Campbell : Don't underestimate her just because she's a woman. Zelda's attacks are backed by powerful magic.

  Roy Campbell : Her hand-to-hand combat may look weak, but her magic makes it cut to the bone.

  Solid Snake : So,this rose has thorns... interesting...

  Roy Campbell : ...This is no time for pick-up lines, Snake.

  Solid Snake : Don't worry. I know from experience that it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for.

• Solid Snake : [first appearance in the Subspace Emissary or when starting a match]  Kept you waiting, huh?

• Solid Snake : Otacon! What's this lizard thing?

  Otacon : That's a Yoshi. It's a dinosaur from Yoshi's island. Watch out for it long chameleon-like tongue. If it gets you, you'll be swollowed whole.

  Solid Snake : It lays eggs and throws them, right?... then it must be female.

  Otacon : ...actually it's a "he." At least, that's what it says.

  Solid Snake : It talks?

  Otacon : Yes! It talks! Well kind of...

  Solid Snake : Now you've got me curious... how about I capture one so we can see what it tastes like?

  Otacon : Uhh, Snake...

• Solid Snake : Otacon, there's a gorilla wearing a tie here. He's huge.

  Otacon : That's Donkey Kong. As you can tell, he's got strength to spare. He may be king of the jungle, but he lives in a house just like you or me. And he seems pretty smart - well, for an ape, anyway. The Donkey Kong who fought that epic battle with Mario was this guy's grandfather.

  Solid Snake : That was a long time ago. What about this Donkey Kong? Does he get along with Mario?

  Otacon : Nope, they're still at it. Seems like they're still always competing in something - kart racing, sports, you name it.

  Solid Snake : A chip off the old block...

• Otacon : Snake! Watch out!

  Solid Snake : For what? That pink marshmallow?

  Otacon : That's Kirby, also known as "Kirby from Dream Land." He's from another planet - in other words, an extraterrestrial.

  Otacon : He's got a powerful stomach that lets him swallow and digest anything, and he also has a "Copy Ability" that allows him to mimic opponents, steal their moves, and use those moves against them!

  Otacon : On top of that, he has the power to fly around the stage, so once he's got you in his sights, there's no place to run!

  Solid Snake : [distracted]  ... Huh? Yeah, got it. I'll... keep an eye out.

• Solid Snake : Colonel! That fox is fast!

  Roy Campbell : You're fighting Fox, eh, Snake? His full name is Fox McCloud. He's the leader of the commando-for-hire unit Star Fox.

  Roy Campbell : They're mostly active in a galaxy known as the Lylat System. Fox and his comrades pilot all-terrain fighter crafts called Arwings. His skills in combat can turn the tide of any battle.

  Roy Campbell : ...You seem to have a thing with foxes, don't you, Snake?

  Solid Snake : Eugh, don't remind me. First FOXHOUND and now this guy... I'm sick of foxes...

  Roy Campbell : You and foxes have a long history together. You ought to be proud.

• Mei Ling : [noticing Pikachu]  Ohh, how cute!

  Solid Snake : What? The yellow thing?

  Mei Ling : That's Pikachu. It's a Pokemon. They're popular all over the world, you know. It may look cute, but be careful. It can store up large amounts of electricity in those adorable little cheeks. It'll try to pepper you with electric shocks.

  Solid Snake : Couldn't be much worse than Ocelot's old torture device...

  Mei Ling : Oh, and, Snake?

  Solid Snake : What?

  Mei Ling : I was wondering, could you maybe try to catch Pikachu for me? Pleeeeaaaase!

  Solid Snake : Eugh, give me a break! What do I look like, a Pokemon Trainer?

  Mei Ling : Fine... sorry I asked.

• Solid Snake : Mei Ling, tell me what you know about Peach...

  Mei Ling : Princess Peach is the beloved ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. She's been kidnapped numerous times by Bowser.

  Solid Snake : Sounds pretty serious...

  Mei Ling : Yes, but every time it happens, Mario ends up saving her. Sure, he may not like like your ideal "knight in shining armor." A little on the short side, I'd say...

  Mei Ling : But, still, don't you think it's romantic? I mean, to have a guy who's always there for you?

  Solid Snake : If he was smart, he'd tell her to stop getting kidnapped!

  Mei Ling : ...You don't get a lot of dates, do you, Snake?

• Solid Snake : Otacon, there's a chimpanzee here wearing a Nintendo hat.

  Otacon : That's Diddy Kong. He's Donkey Kong's partner. Not only is he lightweight, he can use a wide range of weapons as well.

  Otacon : He can fly using those barrel jets on his back, and he can shoot nuts with his Peanut Popgun.

  Solid Snake : Peanuts? As in the ones in the little shells? Are you serious?

  Otacon : Wait, here's the best part. You see them lying on the ground after he shoots?

  Otacon : If you pick up some of those peanuts, they'll restore your health a little.

  Solid Snake : Hmm... edible ammunition, huh? Times sure have changed...

• Solid Snake : What's going on here? What happened to Zelda?

  Mei Ling : Snake, Princess Zelda transformed into Shiek.

  Mei Ling : I can understand the clothes, but to change her skin and eye color? That must take some powerful magic.

  Solid Snake : ...Magic...?

  Mei Ling : Come on, Snake! Don't get all grumpy and start talking about how unscientific it is.

  Mei Ling : Science is basically just another form of magic that makes our lives easier.

  Solid Snake : I never thought I'd hear that coming from you, Mei Ling...

  Mei Ling : Don't you think talking to someone halfway around the world is a kind of magic? Or flying across entire continents?

  Solid Snake : ...Noooo, I think this is completely different...

• Solid Snake : This guy is giving off a murderous vibe! Even getting close to him makes my skin crawl...

  Otacon : Snake! Ganondorf is dangerous! His ambition is to rule the world, and he's got the power to do it.

  Otacon : It's no wonder they call him "King of Evil."

  Solid Snake : Do modern weapons even work against him? Do I even have a chance?

  Otacon : Take a look around you! There are plenty of people fighting with swords, or even their bare hands! At least you've got firepower, count yourself lucky! It's not like you to whine, Snake.

  Solid Snake : I was just *asking*, sheesh. Well, it's back to the mission for me...

• Mei Ling : Snake, have you heard the saying "Politics make strange bedfellows"?

  Solid Snake : Don't tell me *that's* a Chinese proverb?

  Mei Ling : Err, no... it means that when the going gets tough, you might need unexpected partnerships to succeed. Marth was a prince who's kingdom was usurped. He didn't even have an army to fight with him.

  Mei Ling : But, as he battled his way forward, he found new allies to fight at his side, and in the end, he was able to reunite the war-torn land of Altea.

  Solid Snake : So, he built his army from the ranks of his defeated enemies...

  Mei Ling : Marth did his share of fighting, too. Even when he had an army, he was always alongside his men in the thick of battle. Then he was betrayed by one of his most trusted friends. I can't even imagine how that feels...

  Solid Snake : ...I can.

• Solid Snake : Otacon, there's a guy walking around in here... and he's only got two dimensions!

  Otacon : That's Mr. Game & Watch. He comes from a world where everything is flat. Game & Watch was a series of portable games released by Nintendo in 1980.

  Otacon : They were powered by large-scale integrated circuits and only had monochrome LCD displays, so characters kind of looked like the numbers on a calculator.

  Otacon : The guy you're looking at now, Mr. Game & Watch, was a character who appeared in these games.

  Solid Snake : ...This is making my head hurt.

  Otacon : Well, um... He's... I mean... Look, just start fighting him, and I'm sure everything will make sense.

• Roy Campbell : Careful, Snake! That's the great and terrible Bowser!

  Solid Snake : 'Bowser'? Looks like a... cheap movie monster.

  Roy Campbell : Hardly. Bowser leads an entire army of monsters. But I'd worry more about his claws and fire, if I were you.

  Solid Snake : Doesn't look that tough to me... seems kind of slow, actually...

  Roy Campbell : Well, he is the King of Koopas. It's only natural he'd be slow. But that's only because he's the heaviest fighter here - by far! He's a powerhouse of destruction! Careful he doesn't flatten you!

• Solid Snake : It's show time!

• Solid Snake : [Sarcastically]  Wolf. There's a real imaginative name.
