Overworld First time entering The Garden cave "Ah, right on cue. The weasel has arrived." "Time to have some fun." West Forest cave "Welcome back, Popgoes." "It's about time we get things started." "You can call me the Machinist." "When the king needed his crazy death lasers built," "He knew I was the only one who could make them a reality." "And we had a bit of a deal." "I agreed to build the lasers, if he let me do whatever I want with the underground." "And here we are." "The king is dead, and you're now witnessing what I did with that power." "Nice work. You're one step closer to saving... your girlfriend? Or whoever this is." "I hope my machines weren't too much trouble for you." "...That's a lie, by the way." "I'm actually amping up the trouble as we speak." South Forest cave "Back so soon, weasel?" "Do me a favor and slow down a bit." "My cameras are tracking your movements and attack patterns to improve my robots." "They were initially based on Manora, but she's not exactly a fighter, is she." "You just carry on with what you were doing. Don't mind me." "Those abilities of yours are fascinating. The ones you took from Freddy's friends." "Would you be up for sharing them, perhaps? We can take turns?" East Forest cave "Freddy's plan to keep all of us alive was a unique one... I'll give him that." "But he missed a key step to immortality: Metal." "It's one thing to kill everyone and let their souls live on in purgatory, or whatever." "But I personally think robotic replacements are the perfect solutions." "They'll be... so efficient." "Are you ready?" "Come and find me then." The Garden cave "You persistent is admirable, weasel." "I'm sure the mouse appreciates having a hero coming to her rescue." "I'd say something dark and mysterious again, but if I'm completely honest..." "I'm really looking forward to this! You've gotta see what I've been working on." "I mean, really! The robots are efficient, and I won't regret replacing you with one..." "But they just can't appreciate genius when they see it." "It'll be nice to see your reaction to my latest invention..." "Alright, this is it. So exciting..." "I wonder if you'll even recognize me." "I've spent so much of my life down here that I won't be surprised if you don't." "But it'd be so much better if you do." Fight Start "It's been so long, Popgoes the Weasel." "If only you paid attention sooner... maybe you could have stopped me." "Maybe I could have even been apart of your crew." "But this is what I get for being the outcast with weird, cruel ideas, I guess..." "By "this", I mean incredible technology, endless power... stuff like that" "..." "I'm sorry, did you think I would regret any of this?" "No..." "So now we fight." Retreat "Okay, I need to take a breather..." "Not to worry though, I have something that can take over while I rest up." "It's a prototype, so be careful. I want it in one piece. You know, after I win. I still plan of finishing it." "I hope that's not how you treat your real friends, Popgoes." Defeat "Hahaha..." "We all knew how this was going to end..." "I honestly just wanted to see what you would do..." "To witness it first-hand..." "You took your powers from other people..." "Whether it was deserved or not doesn't matter..." "What matters is that I created mine... I earned them..." "Everything you see here... was made from scratch..." "So..." "Did it impress you...?" "If things turned out differently..." "Could I have been..." "One of the gang...?"

Trivia

• Morse's name is based on "Morse code".
• Morse the Mole's origin takes place back in 2015. During the production of the pre-rebooted version of POPGOES, a mole animatronic named Morse was considered and his power color would have been orange. Later on, however, he was scrapped and replaced by Blake the Badger and Stone the Crow. His joke model appears in the pre-rebooted game's extra menu.
