The iconic voice has said his last 'wahoo,' and is moving on to a new role at Nintendo.
comes via Nintendo’s official X account, where the company has stated that Charle’s Martinet, who has voiced the world-famous plumber since 1991, will no longer be the voice of Mario. Instead, he has transitioned into a brand new role at the company titled “Mario Ambassador.”
The company explains in minor detail that this new role will see Charles “continue to travel the world sharing the joy of Mario and interacting with you all,” likely meaning he will still attend conventions or events so fans get to meet him. The company also takes a moment to thank Charles for his many years of bringing Mario to life and that a special video message from Shigeru Miyamoto and Charles will be released later.
Charles has been the voice of Mario since 1991, when he first voiced the character for tradeshows before moving into video games, including Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, countless spinoffs, and more. He also voiced many other characters in the series, including Luigi, Wario, Baby Mario, and many more.
