The Evolution of Super Mario's Voice (1982 to 2023)

Join us as we take you through the evolution of Mario's voice. For the first time in over 20 years, there’s a new Mario voice actor in video games. But despite the consistency of Charles Martinet, the history of Mario’s iconic voice is more complicated than you might first think, with the iconic plumber having dozens of different takes over his 30-year lifespan. From Lou Albano to Chris Pratt, and Bob Hoskins to Kevin Afghani, this is the evolution of Super Mario's voice.

3:26 3:37 Martinet's voice is the definition of Mario's voice.

Still amuses me that Peter Cullen voiced Mario at one point

[cianeatsgrass]

that intro fills me with unbridled rage

Compare to Justin Roiland's salty departure over his allegations, Charles Martinet deserved a happy farewell for being kind & deserves to have someone to take on his role.

That Mario model is cursed earlier in the video

2:37 Mario sounds like Ren from Ren and Stimpy

“Luigi you eeediot”

Martinet will always be Mario
the only one you can recognize as Mario with your eyes closed

There are like two styles, and they are both great... and then there's Chris Pratt.

Nintendo just gave us a very difficult task. Martinet's voice is the definition of Mario :(.

Charles really knocked it (Bowser, that is) out of the park

[RatchetK-eimk]

It’s Me! Mario! Okey Dokey! Let’s A Go! Yahoo!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Not taking anything away from Charles Martinet….. But the voices from Super Mario Super Show will ALWAYS be MY Mario and Luigi, Toad, Princess “Peach” Toadstool, Bowser, Koopa Kids/Koopalings, etc. Bob Haskins in the 1st movie actually pretty much nailed it, too, for the most.

You forgot that strange pinball machine with a strange version of Mario's voice from Charles Martinet

[richarddukard]

Captain Lou Albano was the pinnacle of Mario voices. Real, with a cartoon twist. Martinet made him a goofy character for 4 year olds

[luciehaberzettlova]

Mario had multiple voice actors for some reason

[youtubeman]

It went from a more gruff Brooklyn accent to high pitched Italian voice

[WinspearUltima]

You’ve forgot to also include Mario’s Japanese voice actor in the anime 🙄🙄

[valeriorodrigues]

dont forget, "its a me mario!", gamers! you need some history!
