Charles Martinet has been the original voice of Mario in Nintendo games for a long time, since Super Mario 64. Charles is now moving on to a new role as Mario Ambassador. With this transition, he will no longer voice characters in our games, but he will continue to travel the world sharing the joy of Mario and interacting with you!
It's been an honor to work with Charles in bringing Mario to life for so many years and we want to thank and celebrate him! Please keep an eye out for a special video message from Shigeru Miyamoto and Charles himself, which we'll post another day.
Desde que “Super Mario Bros. – O Filme” foi anunciado e em seguida a confirmação de que todos os personagens seriam dublados por atores diferentes, sendo o próprio Mario dublado em inglês pelo ator Chris Pratt, houve um certo ceticismo por parte dos fãs, porém o filme foi um sucesso de bilheteria.
Now it remains to be seen who will be the new voice of the character, who already has a new game on the way for the Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo has already confirmed that Charles Martinet is not involved in the Super Mario Wonder.
