Good.

It's time to make Chris Pratt the new permanent voice of Mario. Just have him talk with his normal voice and call him "Normal Mario".

This is a new era. The normal Mario era. No more of goofy "Wahoo" noises.

Grow up Ninten-toddlers and accept him.

Where's my 3 hour long Mario character study directed by Paul T. Anderson

Starring Joaquin Phoenix as both Wario and Waluigi

That's right baybee, it's gonna be Chris Pratt forever. None of us will ever escape Chris Pratt.

Charles Martinet AI voice will be the new Mario in perpetuity

i think theyve pretty much recorded everything they need to for the games. Mario says like 10 things and it's mostly one word.

We still have not heard "So long, monarchist Peach!"

smh we haven't even gotten "There's a spectre haunting the Mushroom Kingdom"

That is a shame. I thought "let him rest, he's like, 80"...but he is "only" 67! He should be retired, but I think he would want to keep voicing Mario, because he was very passionate about it.

Even worse? Charles also voiced Luigi, Wario and Waluigi. His Wario especially is also legendary. So ein Mist! (I know it was not Martinet who said the latter, but it seemed fitting...)

I wonder how much of this has to do with the Mario movie

That's younger than I thought, actually.

I suspect they just don't want to pay him and will have enough audio clips to feed into an AI that will make all future voices for Mario games.

They better not make him a New Yorker like the movie and old show. The only thing worse than anti-italian-action is a New York anti-italian-action
