While it sucks to know Charles won't be the voice of Mario and company anymore, I'm happy to hear that he is still with Nintendo in some way.

priceguy:
Interesting. I wonder if Nintendo wants Chris Pratt (or a soundalike) to voice Mario in the games now too. That would make sense for consistency.

whowouldeverhurtawhammy:
As a side note, Martinet did not voice Mario in the recent film, The Super Mario Bros. Movie; however, he did voice Mario's dad and Giuseppe (the Italian man playing the arcade game early on, who sounds exactly like Mario in the games) in the film.

Seeing as Mario's falsetto has become his iconic voice at this point (even movie Mario does the falsetto voice in the Plumber Rap commercial in the film), I'm guessing a Martinet soundalike would be more likely.

Best of luck to Charles, and whoever succeeds him as the new Mario (plus Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi).
