Charles Martinet Retires

Super Mario voice actor Charles Martinet announced his retirement from Mario. He has been the original voice actor since Super Mario 64. Not only did Martinet voice the star Super Mario, but he voiced his brother Luigi, and their rivals Wario and Waluigi. Martinet also made cameo appearances in the 2023 Super Mario Bros Movie. Martinet will be leaving the voice of Mario behind but he will step into an ambassador role for Nintendo. Super Mario Bros. Wonder will be the first Mario installment since Super Mario 64, that Martinet will not be a part of. This is truly the end of area and a beginning of a new generation who will have a new Mario. Congrats to Charles Martinet on all of his hard work over the 20 plus years and being the voice of our childhoods.
