Charles Martinet wants to “maintain the integrity” of Mario, won’t improvise non-Mario phrases / dialogue
Posted on 2 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Charles Martinet isn’t the voice of Mario anymore, but he’s still very important to Nintendo. After he retired from the role, Martinet was named an ambassador of the character. You can continue to see him at various conventions where he’ll act as Mario, and his goal is ultimately to “maintain the integrity” of the character.
Recently, there was a bit of “controversy” due to an encounter that entertainer Ricky Berwick had with Martinet. The two met at a convention, but Berwick claimed on social media he “wasn’t even allowed to do the voice of Mario or any of his iconic character’s voices either at the convention I attended over the weekend.” It was quickly clarified that this referred to anything on camera – Martinet is happy to play the part when not being recorded as long as what’s asked of him is true to the character.
