It’s been confirmed that Charles Martinet - the original voice actor for Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi and other Mario series favorites, is stepping down from his voice acting role.
The voice actor began working for Nintendo in 1991, and first appeared in a video game as the legendary red-hatted plumber in the CD-ROM version of Mario Teaches Typing in 1994. Since then, he’s continued to delight the world with his iconic, jolly voice that has helped cement Mario as one of the most beloved video game characters of all time.
