Earlier this year Charles Martinet, who voiced Mario for decades, retired. After weeks of speculation about his replacement, Nintendo revealed the new voice actor with little fanfare. What gives?

I feel like a weirdo for a) not being able to tell it’s not martinet, b) not caring that it’s not martinet, and c) never really liking Mario sounding like Italian Mickey Mouse in the first place

Captain Lou Albano had the best take on mario imo, 2nd place being Bob Hoskins
