C.Q. Cumber's Quotes

Please score a bingo for me.
A bingo means three 8-balls lined up vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
Once a ball falls into a hole, the next one will appear—you'll get four balls to use.
You didn't make a bingo—test failed.
You let an 8-ball fall—test failed.

Cap'n Cuttlefish's Quotes

Ahoy—there's the next ball!
I like the looks of this!

Marina's Quotes

Vertical, horizontal, or diagonal... Which should we try for?
It looks like getting a ball into a hole makes the next ball appear.
This is the fourth and final ball. It's all riding on this one!

Pearl's Quotes

Looks like you can use that ink cannon to send the balls flying!
That's almost a bingo!

Translation notes

  1. Otoshidama (お年玉) is normally a small gift given to kids in a Japanese New Year, but here it can also be read as "falling balls" (落とし玉 otoshi dama).
  2. "アケオーメ・コト要路" is a pun on "あけおめことよろ" (akeomekotoyoro), a Japanese New Year greeting.
  3. A reference to the game "Boter, Kaas en Eieren" (tic-tac-toe, lit.: Butter, Cheese and Eggs).
  4. A reference to the Russian poem "The Tale of the Princess Swan" by Alexander Pushkin that starts with "Three girls under the window...".
