Would you like to see Koopaling dialogues?

As we all know, the Koopalings have been emerging from their roots in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World and have been appearing in more games recently. But unlike Bowser Jr., they don't actually "talk" in the games outside of Mario is Missing (which many people consider to be non-canon). Sure, they make sounds, and they say their names when they're unlocked in Mario Kart 8, but other than that...they don't have any one-liners in Super Mario Advance 2 (unlike SMA1's bosses), they don't say anything when you fight them in Superstar Saga, they don't talk period.

I remember I used to be a "Super Koopa" at Lemmy's Land, a fan site that was dedicated to the Koopalings based on their personalities from the cartoons (Wendy being a spoiled brat, Roy a bully, and so forth)...ah the memories.

Come on Nintendo, I'm sure your Wii U and 3DS can handle the Koopalings talking more often, even if it's just a few lines of dialogue before you fight them or something like that.

Anyone else agree?
 
I agree, i really want to hear dialouge from them like on how Bowser Jr. has dialouge. I also think of them as a great idea in 3D Mario Platformers (take SM3DW for example) since they've been in so many 2D platformers along with Bowser and Bowser Jr.. (I really wanna see them in Super Mario Galaxy 3 if Nintendo will make it.)
 
Sure, why not. Let's have Mario talk as well.

I bet these guys would sound more interesting, no?
 
The Koopalings are pretty boring anyway, they probably do need more dialouge to make them even the slightest bit interesting
 
One more thing:

I was definitely very surprised there wasn't any Koopaling dialogue in Puzzle & Dragons, what with it being a strategy puzzle game that has its own story revolving around the orbs.

Also, I'm not necessarily saying that Nintendo should flesh out each Koopaling to the extent that the (alternate canon) cartoon series did (like how they developed Daisy into the perky tomboy with the voice many people hate she is today), but at the very least I think Nintendo could've added some one liners for each game they appear in.

For instance in the Super Mario Bros. 3 Nintendo Power strategy guide Wendy says "Hey Mario, try one of my candy rings! I think you'll like how they taste!" (or something like that) She could've easily said something similar in the Super Mario Advance 4 remake, akin to how Fry Guy says "I'm too hot to touch!"...

Or another idea for a more modern platformer could be, they could say something to Kamek for help, for instance in the NSMBW second battles:

Larry: "I've got a surprise for you this time, Mario! Do your thing, Kamek!"
Lemmy: "This bigger ball should make things fun! Eheheheee!!!"
Wendy: "Kamek! Send in the water! Let's see how well Mario can swim!"

And so forth. I mean seriously, would that have been so difficult? ::)
 
No, just make their boss battles more unique and actually challenging. Right now, the way to go is 'jump on enemy three times = ded'. This is lame and dumb.

I say, why not just add the dialogue as well as that?

I would also like some cheesy retorts

Yellow Toad: Ooo! Ooo! I love surprises!
Mario: Yellow Toad...

Mario: Oh, definitely. We're going to have a great time, Lemmy!

Mario: Looks like we're going to be in some hot water, hee hee!
 
well they kinda talk in mk8, iggy says "yeah, let's go" or something when he gets in his glider, lemmy says "yay" when he wins and stuff.

but yeah, actual written dialogue would be cool.

I agree, but what else could they do? Jumping on foes is kinda Mario's thing.
 
Yeah, maybe throw some other things too.

Perhaps a giant tank that shoots Bob-ombs and you have to throw them back.
