Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)


 * Narrator: The Olympic Winter Games, a festival of peace, is about to begin. When all of a sudden...
 * Bowser: Nobody holds the Olympic Winter Games without my say--so!
 * Dr. Eggman: We're holding our own Olympic Winter Games, and you'll have to wait until we're ready!
 * Bowser: And this is how'll keep you from holding the Olympic Winter Games without us! Bwa ha ha ha! You can't hold the Olympic Winter Games without any snow!
 * Dr. Eggman: Excellent work, Bowser. You can leave the rest to me. Show yourselves, Snow Spirits! There's no point in hiding!
 * Sparky: Heeelp! I'm getting sucked towards him!
 * Pola: What's happening? I can't get away!
 * Cuby: Huh? What's going on? Are we being captured?
 * Icy: Oh no... This looks bad...
 * Dr. Eggman: So these are the snow spirits who make the world's snow, hm?
 * Bowser: One of them got away, but five should be plenty!
 * Blizza: Bowser! Eggman! Just what do you think you're up to!
 * Bowser: You pipsqueaks are gonna make lots and lots of snow for our Olympic Winter Games!
 * Dr. Eggman: Indeed! Now let's get going and begin our preparations.
 * Narrator: All the snow in all the towns melted away. And this is how things stand when Mario & Sonic arrive to see the Olympic Winter Games. Just as they see that there is no snow anywhere to be found...
 * Frosty: Please help me! I am a snow spirit. My name is Frosty. Bowser and Eggman have kidnapped my friends! We snow spirits make it snow all around the world. I need you to help save my friends, but first place with me to Frostown!
 * Narrator: Mario and Sonic head to Frostown with Frosty. They watch while Frosty makes it snow in Frostown again.
 * Toad: Mario? It is you, Mario! Long time no see. It's me, Toad. You're the last person I'd expected to run into here. And who might this be? Oh! It's a pleasure to meet you, Sonic. I've heard a lot about you. Are you still battling that evil genius Eggman? Earlier all the snow in town suddenly melted. It's back, but what could be going on?
 * Frosty: Bowser and Eggman melted all the snow on the Olympic Winter Games can't happen.
 * Toad: Wh-Who are you?!
 * Frosty: Sorry for giving you scare there. I'm Frosty, the snow spirit of Frostown. My snow spirit friends were kidnapped by Bowser and Eggman... I was able to make it snow again, ut only in Frostown. Unless I help my friends, it won't snow again in any other place! I've asked Mario and Sonic to help my friends.
 * Toad: Glad to hear it, Mario and Sonic! But where could Bowser and Eggman be?
 * Frosty: They've gone off somewhere to hold their own Olympic Winter Games. Will you help us, too, Toad?
 * Toad: I'm not sure how much help I'd be... but you can count on me.
 * Frosty: Thank you! Thank you so much!
 * Narrator: Toad joined your party!
 * Toad: Well then, let's go take a look at Frostown. You'll see the signs posted here and there around town. The instructions for the missions you can take part in are written on them. Do you want to get started by trying the Speed Skating mission? Lots of people show up to watch, so you might find a lead there.
 * Frosty: You don't have the skates you need the mission. If only you had a pair of Stardust Shoes... They fit everyone perfectly.
 * Toad: Let's see if we can find a pair of them around here somewhere.
 * Pink Chao: Chao chao? (Did you notice any treasure chest nearby?) Chao chao. (Apparently they have something inside. Chao chao! (Take a peek for yourself, if you're curious!
 * Chao: Chao! Chao! (Oh, no! Big trouble!) Chao! chao chao! (Walls of ice are blocking the way to the plaza!)
 * Toad: So you're going to try the Speed Skating mission? Show them what you're made of! I'll be rooting for you!
 * Narrator: You got a crystal.
 * Toad: Something came floating down. What is it?
 * Crystal: It's a crystal, a symbol of victory. Crystals give snow spirits like me mysterious powers.
 * Toad: Wow, that sounds amazing!
 * Frosty: The crystals might come in handy in some point. Once we have some crystals, let's look around for a way to use them!
 * Frosty: Signs with marks for the mission indicate the presence of crystals. If you've already completed the mission, the sign will show a mark.
 * Toad: So we should look out for signs with marks, and try as many missions as we can!
 * Frosty: But if you fail or retry the mission, you'll have fewer attempts left.
 * Toad: I guess we need to be careful, then. How can we tell how many attempts we have left?
 * Frosty: See the heart mark on the top-right? That's your unused attempts.
 * Toad: I see. Well, let's keep an eye on how many attempts we have and carry on exploring! This seems to be the mechanism to move the gate, but it's broken. How are we going to fix it? If only we had someone here who's good with machines... Speaking of which, doesn't Sonic have a friend like that? Let's come back once we have somebody who's handy with machines with us. What are we going to do? As long as this thick ice wall is here, we'll never get to the plaza in Frostown. Do you think that Bowser and Eggman made it?
 * Frosty: I should be able to get rid of this ice wall using the power of the crystals. Leave it to me!
 * Bowser Jr.: Hah! I came looking for snow spirits, and I ended up finding Mario and Sonic!
 * Frosty: Uh oh! I can't let him find me!
 * Bowser Jr.: Hey! You're whispering about? If you think you can take me on, let me squish you at some Speed Skating! Ha! You don't know what you're getting yourself into. Prepare to be blown away!
 * Toad: Mario, I hope you can put him in his place!
 * Bowser Jr.: I... lost. I actually lost...
 * Toad: You did it! You really showed Bowser Jr. who's boss!
 * Frosty: Well done, Mario!
 * Bowser Jr.: This isn't over yet! I'm gonna tell Papa on you! I'll get him to make even bigger ice walls, so you guys can't escape from town!
 * Toad: Bowser Jr. is getting away! Let's go after him! Alright! We made it to the plaza. But now what do we do? This place is so big. Hm? Isn't that Omochao over there? I hear that Omochao is very knowledgeable. He might have some useful information for us. It's probably a good idea to consult Omochao if we're ever unsure what to do next.
 * Omochao: Hello there. I am Omochao. Please let me know there's anything I can help you with. When you find yourself in a jam, come talk to me. I'll sure to give you lots of helpful hints.
 * Toad: What on earth is that? It looks like it's trying to block the way. Let's check it out. Oof! He's blocking the road, no doubt about it.
 * Frosty: And he looks pretty unhappy. I doubt he'll let us pass. What should we do? There must be some way we can get him to open the way.
 * Toad: Maybe if we're nice to him he'll calm down. I don't think he'll listen to me. Perhaps a pretty face would have better luck?
 * Shy Guy: Hold on! I know you! You're Mario, right? You've been popping up all lover from what I hear. How 'bout giving the Nordic Combined mission a shot? What's the deal? You don't have Comet Skis? You can't do this mission without Comet Skis. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go get some. I'm not going anywhere.
 * Toad: Wow! It looks like you can try your hand at the Ski Jumping mission here.
 * Pink Chao: Chao chao... (You need skis to do a Ski Jumping mission...)
 * Toad: I see. So we need a pair of Comet Skis, right? I guess our first order of business finding some Comet Skis. Hey, it's Luigi! He looks like he's having a good time. I wonder what he's up to. Ah, he's getting ready to do the Cross-Country course. He wants to know if you'd like to race him, Mario. That's sounds like fun. Why don't you accept the challenge? Oh no! We don't have any skis. We need to have skis in order to attempt the Cross-Country mission. Let's come back after we've located some Comet Skis.
 * Shy Guy: What're you're up to? You're looking for something? Huh? You could wait here all day and not see a gondola. They don't run very often.
 * Blue Toad: M-Mario! Who me? No, nothing's wrong. Oh, the gallery? The thing is... you can't go in right now. There's a whole lot of Olympic memorabilia in there... But everything needs to be sorted out, so I can't show you yet. Give me some time.
 * Toad: He was acting strange. What is this thing? It's not a totem pole. It looks like a mechanism of some sort. Let's see if we can activate it. Hm... I guess I was wrong. Oh, look! There's a hammer mark here! That reminds me, didn't one of Sonic's friends have a hammer?
 * Pink Chao: Chao, chao? (You're not waiting for a gondola, are you?) Chao, chao. (Sorry, but the gondolas aren't running now.)
 * Green Shy Guy: What're you up to? Looking for something? Comet Skis, eh? Yeah, I know where you can find a pair of those. But I'm not gonna tell ya! They're hidden in a treasure chest not far from here. I wonder if they're still there. Maybe somebody already took em. If you don't hurry, I might go ahead and grab 'em myself!
 * Purple Toad: Hi, Mario! Fancy meeting you here. Welcome to Frostown! I assume you've come to attempt the Cross-Country mission. Oh, you don't have Comet Skis. You'll need a pair of Comet Skis to do this mission. The first thing you need to do is get yourself some Comet Skis.
 * White Chao: Chao chao chao! (But not just anyone can use it!) Chao chao. (I've seen Sonic jump really far with it.)
 * Toad: We did it! Now you can take a stab at skiing missions.
 * Purple Toad: Care to give the cross-country mission a go?
 * Toad: We did it! We got one crystal! We should probably gather some more just in case.
 * Purple Toad: Way to go, Sonic! That was impressive.
 * Toad: This is the back of the sign. Let's look at the front side.
 * White Shy Guy: Hey, you guys! Are you enjoying your adventure? Some of the missions are quite hard, you know. Have you had any trouble completing them? If you ever get stuck and you can't complete a mission, come see me. If you try your best before coming to me, I might just help you out!
 * Shy Guy: Finally! You took your time! You've just got to try the Nordic Combined mission!
 * Toad: We did it! Now we have two crystals! We should probably gather some more just in case.
 * Shy Guy: You pulled it off! I gotta say that was pretty exciting. Stop by again, okay? I could watch a real competitor like you all day.
 * Toad: Wow! It looks you can try your hand at the Ski Jumping mission here.
 * Pink Chao: Chao, chao? (Do you have Comet Skis?) Chao, chao! (If you do, go ahead and take up the challenge!)
 * Toad: How about it, Mario and Sonic? We did it! Now we have three crystals! We should probably more just in case.
 * Pink Chao: Chao! Chao chao! (Mission accomplished! Amazing!)
 * Toad: Hey, Luigi's still here. It sounds like he's going to take another crack at the Cross-Country course. I think we've got pretty good shot at that ourselves! Let's take him on, Sonic! We did it! We collect four crystals! Shall we try going further?
 * Frosty: I think I heard something in the distance after climbing up in the stairs in Frostown. Maybe it's a signal from my friends.
 * Toad: I see. It seems there's a place we haven't been yet up the stairs in Frostown. We should definitely check it out. Congratulations on a successful mission, Sonic! That's strange. I wonder why Luigi's so happy even though he lost. I get it. He's just applauding the winner. What a good sport! Hm? Luigi says that he wants to join us! I guess we need all the help we can get if we're going to save the snow spirits. Welcome to the team, Luigi!
 * Blue Toad: Oh, hello, Mario. No, you still can't go into the gallery yet. Sorry, for the inconvenience...
 * Toad: Hm? It looks like you can do the SPeed Skatin mission here, too.
 * Yellow Chao: Chao, chao! (Yes, I hope you'll accept the challenge!) Chao, chao, chao! (Congratulations on completing the mission!)
 * Tails: Hey, you're Mario, aren't you? I'm Tails. Oh, and I see Sonic is with you as well, huh? I came to take part in the Olympic Games, but I don't have anymore to complete with. Hey, would you say to a little Ski Jumping competition with me? Ugh... I've got to work on my technique. Oh, so you guys are trying to save the snow spirits, are you? Why don't you take me along? I'm pretty good with machinery, so I might be handy to have around.
 * Toad: Come to think of it, there was a broken mechanism near where I was before. It would be nice to have Tails along with us to help out.
 * Tails: Great, thanks! I won't let you down, Mario! Or you, Sonic!
 * Toad: What do you say, Tails? Can you work this mechanism?
 * Tails: Hmm... It's broken, so it's going to take a while. But I might be able to fix it if I could look at a similar one that's working.
 * Toad: I don't recall seeing one in town. I hope we run into one somewhere. Drat. I don't think we can get this open on our own. There' got to be a device to open the gate somewhere around here. That mechanism looks like a good candidate. What is this thing? It's not a totem pole.
 * Tails: It's a mechanism of some sort. Let's try to find a way to activate it! I knew it! It looks like it acts some kind of a switch! Huh? Hey, there's a hammer mark here! The only hammer that comes to mind is Amy's Piko Piko Hammer.
 * Green Shy Guy: When you find a treasure chest, make sure you check inside. I've found treasure all over the place!
 * Toad: This ice wall is even bigger than the one blocking the way to the plaza.
 * Frosty: We just need to gather more crystals!
 * Toad: So the more crystals we have, the better?
 * Frosty: We can only carry four crystals at a time. When we have four crystals, the marks on signs and the top map disappear. Four crystals should be enough to smash a trick ice wall, wouldn't you say? I'll give it a try!
 * Eggman Nega: Well now. I must say you have a most unusual guest in your midst.
 * Toad: Is this guy... Eggman?!
 * Frosty: I don't think so. Eggman doesn't talk like that.
 * Eggman Nega: Ah how rude of me. I am Dr. Eggman Nega.
 * Toad: So it isn't Eggman after all.
 * Sparky: Help! Somebody, heeelp!
 * Toad: What was that?! It sounded like a snow spirit.
 * Frosty: That's my friend, Sparky! Eggman Nega must have kidnapped him!
 * Eggman Nega: That's hardly fair. I've merely asked him to accompany me. In any case, there is no cause for alarm. I was only hoping you'd be kind enough to face me on the Nordic Combined course. What do you say? Will you accept my challenge? Your name is Mario, correct? Yes, I had a feeling that you would accept. This should be very interesting indeed.
 * Frosty: Good luck, Mario!
 * Eggman Nega: Impossible... I can't believe I lost!
 * Frosty: Congratulations, Mario!
 * Toad: Oh no! Eggman Nega's trying to get away!
 * Eggman Nega: I cannot accept defeat. We shall meet again!
 * Sparky: Heeelp!
 * Frosty: Wait! At least let my friend go!
 * Eggman Nega: Very well, then. Consider it a gift to the victor.
 * Sparky: Phew... Free at last. I can't thank you enough! I'm the snow spirit, Sparky.
 * Frosty: I'm so relieved you're okay!
 * Toad: Frosty is from Frostown, but which town are you from, Sparky?
 * Sparky: I'm the snow spirit of Sparkleton. I'd better hurry up and make some snow there!
 * Toad: Sparkleton? I have no idea where that is. But it's good to know it will snow again in some distant town thanks to you. It seems there are no more snow spirits in this town? Shall we look elsewhere?
 * Frosty: Let's check out Sparkleton. Sparky can show us around.
 * Toad: Great idea! But how will we get there?
 * Frosty: We usually just fly, but i guess that's not an option for you. Bowser and Eggman can't fly either, so there must be some other way to get there.
 * Toad: Hm? What's that black hole over there, Mario? Let's check it out! My goodness. I never would have thought a cannon would be hidden in that dark hole. Wow, what is this place? I've never seen anything like it before.
 * Sparky: Looks like we've arrived in Sparkleton!
 * Toad: Sparkleton? Is this your town, Sparky? I never knew a place like this existed, with so many pretty twinkling lights.
 * Sparky: I'm not surprised. This town's on an island floating in the sky, you know!
 * Toad: What?! Y-You mean we're floating way up in the sky right now?
 * Sparky: Ha ha! Don't worry, the island won't fall down or anything.
 * Frosty: I'm more concerned that Bowser and Eggman could be lurking around here.
 * Sparky: One of our snow spirit friends might be prisoner somewhere in the area!
 * Toad: I can't imagine a terrible thing like that happening in a place like this.
 * Sparky: You're all gonna help us find our friends, right?
 * Toad: O-Of course! I have to admit I'm a little nervous, but I'm sure I'll pull through! Off we go, then!
 * Tails: You can count on me to help out to snow spirits!
 * Dark Chao: Chao, chao? (Hey, do, you know what that black hole over there is?) Chao, chao chao. (There's a cannon inside that shoots you to Frostown.) Chao chao. (It's perfect when you want to make a quick escape.)
 * Toad: Useful information I guess, but that Dark Chao make us sound like cowards...
 * Purple Toad: Well, well. You don't look like you're from around here. In this town, you can participate events with special rules. Hm... It seems as if you haven't heard of this place before. Frostown is a town Winter Island, and island in the ocean. Sparkletown, on the other hand, is on Drea Island, whic floats up in the sky. Here we old lots of fun events that you could normally dream off! By the way, I've heard all about what you were up to in Frostown. The town is buzzing with the news you beat Eggman Nega and saved our snow spirit. A while back all the snow in Sparkletown melted, and we were in a panic. But thanks to you, the snow is falling again, so we can hold our snow festival after all!
 * Sparky: Hold on a second! I'm the one who made it snow! You should be thanking me!
 * Frosty: Oh Sparky... Can't you see you could only make it snow because they saved you?
 * Sparky: Gee... I guess you're right! Sorry, my bad! So are you here to relax and check out the snow festival? What?! Bowser and Eggman might be lurking somewhere in Sparkletown? That's terrible news! That means another snow spirit might be held captive here right under our noses! Now that you mention it, there are some areas blocked off by ice walls. Please protect Sparkletown from Bowser and Eggman! If there's anything you need to know, I think Omochao might be able to help you. While you're here, I hope you get a chance to try out the events in town, too!
 * Chao: Chao! (Welcome!) Chao chao? (Have you heard about Rocket Ski Jumping?) Chao chao chao. (It's not all that tricky kind of like Ski Jumping.) Chao chao? (Do you want to give the mission a try?) Chao chao chao. (I'm afraid you can't complete with those Comet Skis.) Chao chao. (Go and get them modified for Rocket Ski Jumping.)
 * Toad: It looks like we have to get some modifications made. Who should we ask to help?
 * Chao: Chao chao chao. (I've heard of a Shy Guy who's good at modifications.) Chao chao! (Look around Sparkletown and try to track him down!)
 * Goomba: Who are you guys? Are you here to try the Snow Machine Fight mission? I'll be straight with you. I doubt you could fight your way ut of a wet paper bag! For someone with skills like Princess Peach, maybe... But I'm not gonna let weaklings like you complete!
 * Toad: Princess Peach is close by, isn't she? Perhaps if we could get her on the team we might be able to give this mission a shot.
 * Green Shy Guy: Hey, you guys. There's plenty of fun events here in Sparkletown, huh? I've gotta say though, Rocket Ski Jumping is my favorite mission by far.
 * Toad: We'd like to try it out, but apparently we need to modify our Comet Skis first.
 * Green Shy Guy: I'll tell you what, I'll modify them for you! Hand them over for a sec! I'll just attach some rockets for the Rocket Ski Jumping here... There you go! That should do it! Show me what you can do the Rocket Ski Jumping! I'll be looking out for you!
 * Toad: I wonder what that glowing hexagonal floor is. I have a feeling we'll need to investigate it at some point.
 * Blue Toad: Well, well. If it isn't Mario and Sonic! Are you here for the snow festival? Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. This is where the Snow Machine Fight is held. But you can't attempt this mission unless you have a Battle Snow Machine. It doesn't look like you have one, so... Don't forget to come back once you get your hands on a Battle Snow Machine. I'll be waiting for you.
 * Toad: What should we do? I don't think we can open the gate ourselves. Let's see if there's some kind of trick to opening the gate. Hm? This gate has a keyhole in it. It looks like we'll need a key to open the gate. What's that? You'll check out the area for us, Luigi? That would be great. Thanks for helping out, Luigi!
 * Boo: Just what do you think you're doing?!
 * Toad: Argh! One of those Boo ghosts appeared out of nowhere!
 * Boo: I've been here all along! I was just hiding! Heh heh heh!
 * Toad: Luigi! Where are you going?!
 * Boo: Hah! Looks like you found the key. You're not getting it, though! Heh heh heh! I'm not giving it to a coward like you! See if you can take it from me!
 * Toad: Be careful, Luigi! We're dealing with a Boo here! It looks like Luigi is going tro try and get the key back from the Boo.
 * Boo: Gah!
 * Toad: You did it, Luigi!
 * Boo: Oh, no! How could I let a fraidy cat like that open the gate? I'm outta here before Bowser gets wind of this!
 * Toad: Now we can go on ahead! Thanks a lot, Luigi! Now you can try out Snow Machine Fight missions.
 * Blue Toad: Hi! Do you feel up to a Snow Machine Fight now? You'd be most welcome, of course!
 * Toad: We did it! We got one crystal! To get rid of the ice wall, we need to gather three more crystals.
 * Blue Toad: You made completing the mission look easy! Tat was pretty fun to watch!
 * Toad: Unless we find a way to destroy the ice wall, we can't go on. What next? Of course, the crystals! Do we need to gather four of them, like in Frostown?
 * Frosty: Four crystals should be enough to smash through a thick ice wall.
 * Toad: We can get crystals by completing missions with marks, right? Well, let's come back after we've completed some missions then.
 * Sparky: Hold up! Someone's calling out for Mario!
 * Toad: Hm? Who could it be? I can't hear anything at all.
 * Sparky: That's weird. Is it just my imagination?
 * Frosty: We could picking up the thoughts of one of your friends.
 * Toad: You mean one of Mario's friends could be here in Sparkleton? Let's look around and see if we can find anyone looking for Mario. So this is a maple tree? It's oranges leaves are so pretty. When we see a tree with orange leaves, let's check it any leaves are on the round. By the way, I wonder if we can get into the gallery in Frostown now... I must admit I'm curious about the gallery. Let's visit it sometime.
 * Chao: Chao! (Thanks for coming back!) Chao chao. (Rocket Ski Jumping isn't all that hard.) Chao chao! (You should try it out!)
 * Toad: We did it! Now we have two crystals! To get rid of the ice wall, we need to gather two more crystals.
 * Chao: Chao chao chao! (Congratulations on completing the mission!)
 * Blue Toad: Oh, it's you, Sonic. Is something the matter? You don't look so good. I guess I can't hide it anymore. The Olympic memorabilia on display at the gallery is missing! I have a feeling you know why... Don't you? That's right. It's most likely the work of Bowser and Eggman. How do we get it back? This is going to be tricky.
 * Princess Peach:
