Mario doesn't really have a concept of trying to pretend to be normal - everyone's weird in the Mushroom Kingdom, you know - but he's not going to mention that, that seems like a real jerk of a move. And, besides, he gets it a little.

"Oh, yeah, I get it. I don't'a mind showing off every now and then, but I hate to... brag, you know? Hate to go around advertising it."

Casper seems like a nice kid. A nice, probably struggling with a lot of troubles, kid. "A world where you have to hide that kind of thing sounds scary," Mario tells him, gentle. "I could'a never pull that off."
