I have no idea if anyone is interested in this sort of thing, but I remember whenever I'd finish a Zelda game, sometimes I'd want to see what all the text said (or certain parts of dialogue or menu descriptions, etc.). And since text dumps for most Zelda games are readily available online, I was good to go! I only discovered the Mario RPGs earlier this year, and upon finding out that there were no text dumps for these games online, I was highly disappointed. So I decided to take matters into my own hands. Below is the result.

You can find all these under "Documents" at Romhacking.net as separate downloads (best if viewed with Notepad++ due to formatting issues). Or you can just click below to see them in your web browser. My documents at present fall into two categories: Raw (or coded) text dumps include the codes found with the text in the ROM, while clean dumps have those cleaned up so it's only the text that's left. In the future, I plan to add a third category for HTML text dumps, which will have each string of text in its own dialogue box and showcase the various text colors, sizes, effects, etc.

Clean text dumps:
Coded text dumps:
To-do list:
    Include Japanese text in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door text dump.
    Add French and Spanish versions to Paper Mario: Sticker Star text dump.
    Do a proper coded/raw text dump for Paper Mario: Sticker Star. (*The current version is a work-in-progress.)

Future games list:
    Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
    Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
    Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
    Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
    The Legend of Zelda
    Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
    The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
    The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
    The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
    The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
    The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
    The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
    Okami
    Okamiden

Thanks Fiachra! Yeah, feels good. :)

Just bumping this thread to let you all know I've put together a cleaned-up version of the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door text dump:

(I've also edited the link into the original post as well.)

Just a small bump to let everyone know the cleaned-up text dump for Super Paper Mario is now up.

Now if only I could find a way to access the text in Sticker Star, I could wrap up the whole Paper Mario series!

BUMP!

After a lengthy hiatus, I have finally completed the text dump for Paper Mario: Sticker Star. (The raw version is a mess, though, due to the formatting, and I almost didn't bother. I do recommend the cleaned up version, though!) Thank you to user Hiccup from Romhacking.net for helping me out with this many weeks ago.

And with that, the entire Paper Mario series is complete! Every game in that series, including Super Mario RPG its predecessor, now have all of their text extracted and available for perusal.

In time, I hope to do the same for the Mario & Luigi series. What will be challenging about that is, unlike the PM series, I've never really played the M&L games before, haha.
