Reply to comment by TurbulentAd4089 in Charles Martinet's voice is, and always has been, wrong for Mario, not Chris Pratt's by LocalAfter4312

Yeah, man, I grew up in Jersey, I have never met a non-immigrant like Mario Mario who sounded anything close to the way Mario has been depicted. While I won't rule out the possibility, he grew up in Brooklyn, with his infancy being spent on Yoshi's Island. He is literally more likely to speak in Yoshi sound effects than with the thick accent he's been depicted. The movie voices are better for the characters.

Huh. This Yoshi dialect thing is…a pretty good point.

Y'know I don't blame Mario for becoming a mass murderer of goombas and koopas after I heard the Yoshi's character select song.... Shit is still stuck in my head

Actually, technically worse, Mario is a mass murderer of the Mushroom Kingdom inhabitants themselves. If I remember the instruction manual lore from the original game, King Koopa transformed the mushroom people into bricks. So ... every time you played and jumped to smash a brick ......
