Charles Martinet, the voice of Nintendo’s beloved Mario character, steps down

Voice actor Charles Martinet, known for his portrayals of Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, and baby versions of these characters, is stepping down from recording character voices for Nintendo games after voicing Mario since 1991.
Martinet will take on a new role as "Mario Ambassador," staying connected to the Mario universe and continuing to share the joy of Mario with fans around the world.
Martinet's departure was not unexpected, as he had previously relinquished his Mario duties to Chris Pratt in the recent Super Mario Bros. Movie, although he did make a cameo as Mario's father.
