Since 1991, Super Mario and Charles Martinet have become almost synonymous with others… At least, until Chris Pratt confused everyone with his voice-over performance in The movie Super Mario Bros.. Shit, Quill.
Either way, Martinet has voiced characters like Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi for decades at this point. But because people on the internet love to discuss things, many are currently claiming that Martinet might not return in the new Super Mario Bros. Wonderful.
For what..? Because it doesn’t look like him, apparently. Except it’s really do. Give us strength…
Oh, and people are also speculating that Martinet no longer voices Wario in WarioWare: Move It!, too…
Fortunately, it seems that some are already a bit exhausted from the talk. We are with you, Chris.
So yeah, it’s a whole thing right now. Admittedly, there has been no official confirmation of Martinet’s return at the time of writing, but for God’s sake, it’s definitely him. Many are skeptical, aware, and even YouTuber Arlo got in on the action with a speculative video on the subject.
Anyway, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is just one announcement in what turned out to be a very promising Nintendo Direct. Along with the likes of Pikmin 4, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1, and Super Mario RPG arriving in 2023, it looks like a very healthy year for the Switch.
