== Game text ==
Most of the game text uses only hiragana, i.e., without katakana. Hence, words that normally take katakana will appear as hiragana, with the sole exception of Peach's name. This is because of technical limitations; they couldn't make the font large enough to add a complete katakana font.

=== Mushroom house ===
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>すきなはこひとつだけ
あげる。きっとなにか
のやくにたつから・・・</pre>
|好きな箱一つだけあげる。きっと何かの役に立つから・・・
|I will give you the contents of the box of your choice. I'm sure it'll come in useful for something...}}
好きな(箱) literally means "(the box) you like", but is often used to mean "(the box) you ''most'' like". Much like "take whichever you like".

役に立つ means "be useful". Adding 何かの means "be of some kind of use".

=== White mushroom house ===
{{ja-k-en
|あれ　みつかっちゃった<br />
よそにはない　とくべつのものばかりだよ
|あれ、見つかっちゃった。他所には無い特別の物ばかりだよ。
|Oh, so you found it. [Here are] only special things that are nowhere else [to be found].}}
*他所 is ateji, that is, its reading does not consist of the separate readings of 地 + 所 respectively.

=== Mushroom house with whistle ===
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>この　ふえ　ふいたら
とおくの　くにへも
ひとっとび！・・</pre>
|この笛吹いたら、遠くの国へもひとっとび！・・
|If you play this flute, even far-away countries are just a single bound away!}}
There is an implied を after 笛.

ひとっ飛び is an emphasized version of 一飛び （ひととび）, literally meaning "a single bound" or "one jump", but it can also refer to any kind of short flight. For example, dic.yahoo.co.jp has this sentence: 上海まで一飛びだ "It's just a short flight to Shanghai."

=== Slots game ===
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>えあわせ　えあわせ
うまくいったら・・・おたのしみ
いっかいきりのだいちゃんす！</pre>
|絵合わせ、絵合わせ！　上手く行ったら・・・お楽しみ！　一回切りの大チャンス！
|Match the pictures, match the pictures! If it goes well... well, see for yourself! One shot at a big prize!}}

=== Card game ===
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>くるりん　くるりん　かあどを
めくって　いろいろあたる。
おてつきは　いっかいだけ。</pre>
|クルリン　クルリン・カードを捲って色々当たる。お手付きは一回だけ。
|Turn around cards and hit various [items]. There is only one "touching a wrong card". [You may make a mistake only once.]}}
クルリン is a 擬態語（ぎたいご）/[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_sound_symbolism mimesis] and refers to "turning around". Interestingly, there is a game for the GBA called 「クル　クル　クルリン」 where you have to navigate a spinning sticks through obstacles.

=== The king has been transformed ===
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>たいへん！たいへん！
おうさまがこんな
すがたに　かえられ
たよ！
まほうのつえを　とり
かえしてください。</pre>
|大変！　大変！　王様がこんな姿に変えられたよ！　魔法の杖を取り返してください。
|It's terrible! It's terrible! The king has been changed into this (awful) form! Recover the magic wand!}}
こんな (stemming from この様な) literally means "this kind of". It has a negative connotation here, ie the "awful"-part is implicit. Consider the English "Such a form the king has turned into!" for a similar connotation.

==== Castle revisited after airship has left ====
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>はやく！　はやく！

はやくこくっぱから
まほうのつえを　とり
かえしてください。</pre>
|早く！　早く！　早くコクッパから魔法の杖を取り返してください。
|Hurry! Hurry! Hurry and recover the magic wand from the koopaling!}}

=== The King restored ===
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>よかった　よかった
もとのすがたに　も
どれたありがとう

ピーチひめからてが
みがきております。</pre>
|よかった、よかった！　元の姿に戻れた。有難う！　ピーチ姫から手紙が来ております。
|Thanks heavens! I have returned to my original form. Thank you! A letter from Princess Peach has arrived.}}
*よかった is a general expression of relief or glee. Literally, it is the past of 良い（よい・いい） - "good".
*居ります（おります） is the polite form of 居る. The kanji-form is uncommon, but it clearly shows its meaning. It is the humble form of 居る（いる） - "to be". 来ておる means 来ている - "has come [arrived]". A テ-form of a verb + いる is a construction meaning either "has verbed" [perfect], "is verbing" [continuative] or "usually verbs" [custom/habit]. Which of these possible meanings is intended must be figured out by the context. Not that for the perfect meaning, transitive verb would use ある instead of いる (eg 書いてあります - "[someone] has written [something]" as in "is written",　compared 閉めてあります(transitive) - "[someone] closed [something]" with　閉まっています(intransitive) - "[something] is [closed]").

==== If Mario is wearing Frog Suit ====
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>あれあれそんなすが
たにかえられてしまっ
て・・・
このつえでもとの
すがたにもどし
てさしあげようか？</pre>
|あれあれ、そんな姿に変えられてしまって…　この杖で元の姿に戻して差し上げようか？
|Oh my, you've been transformed! Shall I restore you to your original form with this wand?}}
*Using the テ-form for the sentence turns turns it into an ellipsis, ie open sentence, which is further emphasized by using 「…」.
*テ-form + 上げる is a polite expression for "to do something for you". テ-form + 差し上げる is even more polite and certainly appropriate when you are talking to a king. ("It is an honor for me to restore you to your previous shape."]
*変えられて仕舞（しま）う is a construction like above, a テ-form with a (helper) verb, which happens to be 仕舞う this time. First of all, note that 仕舞う is 当て字/[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ateji ateji] and the less-common form, which hints to its meaning is 終う. The kanji 「終」 refers to "end" and しまう means "to finish", "to do something completely", "to put an end to". Thus, 変えられてしまう literally means "the action of him being changed is finished" or "was completely changed". This construction often bears a negative connotation, that it is a bad thing the action was completed, which leads us to something like "What a pity you were turned into this form...".

==== If Mario is wearing Tanuki Suit ====
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>しんせつな　たぬき
さん！
どうもありがとう

おなまえを　きかせて
ください。</pre>
|親切な狸さん！　どうもありがとう。お名前を聞かせてください。
|Kind tanuki! Thank you. Please tell me your name.}}

==== If Mario is wearing Hammer Bros. Suit ====
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>そのふくを　わしに
ゆずってくれないか
・・・
だめか・・・

しかたがない。</pre>
|その服をわしに譲ってくれないか？・・・駄目か？・・・仕方がない。
|Would you give me your clothes? ...No? ...Oh well.}}
{{todo|Nuance of 譲る}}

=== Princess Peach's letters ===
==== World 1 ====
{{ja-k-en
|おげんきですか？
|お元気ですか？
|How are you?}}
Peach begins every letter with this. It literally means "Are you healthy?". This is a very common greeting. As the literal translation suggests, it's generally used when you haven't seen somebody in a while.

{{ja-k-en
|<pre>もしおばけに　であったら
せなかを　むけていると　おいかけてくる
のできをつけてくださいね。</pre>
|もしお化けに出会ったら、背中を向けていると追い掛けて来るので、気を付けてくださいね。
|If you happen to meet a ghost, it will come chasing after you if you have your back turned to it, so please take care.}}

{{ja-k-en
|<pre>たからものをひとつおくります。
なにかのおやくにたててください。

ピーチ</pre>
|宝物を一つ送ります。何かのお役に立てて下さい。<br />ピーチ
|I send you [include in this letter] one precious item [treasure]. Please make it stand up to some role/purpose. [I hope it will prove useful to you.]}}
Peach ends every letter with this.
*役 (etym.: "post", "service") is a common words used to express "fitting for a particular purpose".

==== World 2 ====
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>しろいぶろっくは　てきを　けちらす
まほうの　ちからがあるそうよ。</pre>
|白いブロックは敵を蹴散らす魔法の力があるそうよ。
|It is said the white block possesses the magic power to kick enemies around.}}
*蹴散らす＝蹴る(to kick) + 散らす(to scatter) and falls under the category of verb + (helper) verb, ie the first is the main action and the second verb (modifies/gives additional information to) the first. Thus "to kick is a manner of scattering", "to kick so that the enemies are scattered".

==== World 3 ====
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>くりぼうのくつをつかうと
いろんなてきを　ふみつけられるのよ。</pre>
|クリボーの靴を使うといろんな敵を踏みつけられるのよ。
|If you use the kuribō's shoe, you can stomp various enemies.}}

==== World 4 ====
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>ふえを　ぬすんだどろぼうが
さばくの　ひがしに　にげていった
らしいわよ。</pre>
|笛を盗んだ泥棒が砂漠の東に逃げて行ったらしいわよ。
|The thief who stole the flute seems to have escaped to the east of the desert.}}

==== World 5 ====
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>こおりのせかいは　きをつけて
こおりにとじこめられた　ものたちは
ほのおで　よみがえるはずです。</pre>
|氷の世界は気を付けて！　氷に閉じ込められたものたちは炎でよみがえるはずです。
|Be careful in the Ice World! Things encased in ice are sure to come alive with fire.}}

==== World 6 ====
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>ピーチは　とても　げんきよ
いちわーるどの　みっつめの　ごーるの
かげできのぴおから　まほうのふえを
もらってください。</pre>
|ピーチはとても元気よ。一ワールドの三つ目のゴールの影でキノピオから魔法の笛をもらってください。
|I'm doing very well. At the goal in the third stage of the first world, please receive the magic flute from Kinopio.}}
In case you're unaware, Kinopio is Toad's Japanese name.

==== World 7 ====
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>へっ！おまえがうろうろしてるあいだに
ピーチは　あずかったぜっ。

くやしかったら　おれさまのしろ　まで
きてみやがれ！

ぐわっはっはっはっ・・・

くっぱ</pre>
|へっ！　お前がウロウロしてる間にピーチは預かったぜっ。くやしかったら俺様の城まで来て見やがれ！　ぐわっはっはっは・・・<br />クッパ
|Har! While you have been fooling around, I've taken Peach! If that is regrettable, [If you want her back,], come to my castle. Gwarh-har-har... &mdash;Koopa}}
*ウロウロ is 擬態語 again. "hang about doing nothing/indecisively/aimlessing/with no purpose", loiter, drift, prowl around
*俺様 is a very boasting way to address oneself. Do not use it.
*連用形 / masu form of a verb + やがる makes your sentence show more condescension / hatred / contempt / disdain. Again, do not use it.

=== Ending ===
{{ja-k-en
|<pre>ありがとう！　やっと
きのこのせかいに　へい
わがもどりました。
おしまいっ！</pre>
|ありがとう！　やっとキノコの世界に平和が戻りました。おしまいっ！
|Thank you! Peace has finally returned to the Mushroom World. The end!
}}

=== Miscellaneous ===
If you turn the Hammer Bros. into a treasure ship, the ship on the map will have the kanji 宝 on its sail. It's read たから and means "treasure". (This kanji is present in the English version of the game, too. If you haven't noticed, it's probably because its small size makes it look like a random fancy design.)
