Daroach Text in Kirby Mass Attack

[NerdyBoutKirby]

Hello. I am NerdyBoutKirby, a primary administrator on Kirby.wikia.com. The names of the characters in Kirby Mass Attack are only given in bits of dialogue by the character Daroach. I have attempted to read as much of this dialogue as I can, but I don't know how much I've missed. A fellow editor mentioned that all of the dialogue is contained within the game's code, but he does not have the time to sort through it all.

If it isn't a bother, would you please attempt to find all the dialogue in the game? It would help Kirby Wiki become more accurate and improve player knowledge as a whole. The names of the Kirby Mass Attack characters listed on The Spriters Resource are based directly off the names from Kirby Wiki as well, so it would be beneficial to both websites.

I am aware of the rules on requesting on these forums. Petie told me specifically to post my query here.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Have a wonderful day.

Another island has come
into view!
But this island is protected by
a special barrier.



That island cannot be
approached so easily--not
like the others.


But I think I know what the
key to moving forward is.



There is said to be a secret
rainbow treasure on this
island that can pierce the
darkness.

This rainbow treasure will
appear only when YOU gather
enough rainbow power.


And how to gather such
colorful power? By collecting
rainbow medals.


If you collect them all, you can
break through that bleak
barrier.


Now that you have defeated
the Skullord, the Skullys that
were patrolling the first four
islands have fled.

So you can travel to those
islands without losing any
Kirbys!


Now seek out those rainbow
medals. In the meantime,
I'll see if I can find out more
about them.

Return here, of course, if you
run into any trouble out there.



Good luck to you.  The last island has come into
view!



Just think of it! You defeated
the Skullord!



Necrodeus must be on this
next island.



Now, onward! To the final
fight! Return to me safe
and sound!  Well done! You've collected
all of the rainbow medals!



Now we can only hope that
their rainbow power will
spring strong and true!  Marvelous! You've collected
all of the medals!



And THAT concludes my
business here. Let me just
take those off your hands.


Now good-bye. Farewell.
So long. And see you around
the cosmos.


Oh, don't look at me like that!
You know I'm deeply thankful
for all you've done...


But I suppose some sort of
thank-you gift is in order!  Now I think THAT really does
conclude our business!



I must be off, since a
treasure-hunter's job is never
done. I hope we meet again
someday.  
Hello again! Back for more
tips? Well then...

Welcome back! Allow me to
share this tidbit with you...

Back for more insights, I see.

Here's one for you...  

Ah, you're back!

Well, let me offer you some information...

Returned for more advice?
I'm always glad to share info...  

You may hear me prattle
about the same things. It's
just that I'm a single-minded
sort of rogue.  

I feel like I've mentioned that
before, however.  What? You knew that? Then
what are you waiting around
for... Small talk?  

What can I do for you?  

I'm currently looking for clues
about medals.

I'm currently looking for clues
about medals.

Didn't I already
tell you that? I'm currently cooking for clues
about medals... Scratch that.
Looking, not cooking. Didn't you hear? I'm currently
looking for clues about
medals.  Sorry, I haven't found any
more clues yet.  I think I haven't gotten my
point across. Let me try it
more slowly...


I'm. Still. Looking. For. Clues.
About. Medals.  Look at that! You've found all
of the medals on this island.



That's quite a collection
you've amassed there.



I wonder, have you tried the
sub-games yet? They're pretty
extravagant extras. Anything else I can do for you? I think I've shared everything
I know about the medals on
this island.


Did you want to hear the
hints again?  Ask me anytime you want to
hear those clues again.  See you later!

Have you already gotten this text?

[NerdyBoutKirby]

Yeah, I've gotten those ones. The meat of Daroach's dialogue comes from missing medals. I played the whole game through dodging every medal I could, and that yielded many useful results. Alas, he has other quotes that are more obscure--ones that you can only hear if you lose to a mid-boss or fail a stage in a certain way. For example, if Buzzy Bat defeats you, he'll talk about him and his minions. If you collapse the Teetering Tree in Stage 11 of Dedede Resort, he gives you instructions on how to survive (and reveal the names of the beetles on the tree's exterior). Then there even some quotes that are one-time only, like when you go back to chat with him immediately after visiting Necro Nebula for the first time.

It'd take hours to fail the game's objectives in every possible way, and even then I wouldn't be completely sure I got everything. That's why going directly to the source would be so useful.

Oh... It may be in the other files within the NDS file. I open the files using Tinke and navigate to the message folder, and the files within are the messages. They're compressed with HUFF compression, and you can use a function that Tinke has to extract the DAT file in the archive. Then you can use this Python script to try and extract the text. Maybe this'll help out?

Also I started a repo where I'll post the ripped text

Yup, that's the stuff I was looking for. Thanks a bunch! Now I can cite the transcripts to clear up confusion on the wiki. This will be of great use indeed.

No problem bro
