Nintendo’s ‘Long-Term Choice’ for Mario Voice Actor Seems to Be Revealed Before Super Mario. Bros Wonder

Ever since its creation, the character of Mario has been a pivotal personality in almost every gamer’s childhood. From being featured in a 2D game to getting a whole record-setting animation film, Mario has done wonders for Nintendo. Unforgettably, major credits go to the voice actor Charles Martinet, who supported the character for all these years. However, the famous personality announced stepping down as the voice of Mario a few months back.

Even though Chris Pratt filled in the shoes of Mario voice actor in the Super Mario Bros. movie, the void still remained for the upcoming game Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Anticipation in the community also made fans do guesswork and bet on who would be the next voice actor. Surprisingly, it seems the tight curtain will be raised soon. Also, it is recommended that people who want to cherish the surprise of an official reveal can stop right here as there might be spoilers ahead.

The identity of the new Mario voice actor might be unveiled sooner than expected

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is scheduled to release on October 20, 2023. The game clashes with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 release, but one would find the clash to be a good one for the respective fan base. As suggested by its name, Nintendo’s upcoming game is actually a wonder to come for the franchise.

The game is expected to introduce new abilities and a new way to play the game. All in all, a whole new lens through which the franchise will be seen from now. Ultimately, it would be a new experience for retro gamers as well as for newcomers of this franchise.

Another aspect behind the game’s excitement is the suspense of the new voice actor. The voice behind Mario might be revealed soon to gamers, as per a new rumor. In the Reddit thread GamesLeaksandRumors, which is a credible source for the community, a piece of information was released by the X account Akfamilyhome.

(@Akfamilyhome) suggested, “Just a heads-up, I don’t believe it’s been publicly released yet but someone out there does appear to have the Mario Wonder kiosk demo and has datamined info from it, including the full list of voice actors (albeit unlabelled). If you’re avoiding spoilers for that, be careful!:”

The thread continued, “I’ve seen who it’s most likely to be and if it’s true then this guy has a pretty varied past resume throughout games and other media, it’ll be interesting to see if it truly is him and is also Nintendo’s new long-term choice.” Going by the fact that this got attention in the respective Reddit thread, it can be taken that the reveal might arrive sooner rather than later.

The responsibility of acting as Mario for the “long-term” and carrying on Charles Martinet’s legacy would be challenging indeed. Therefore, it is hoped fans love the new voice actor and enjoy a new era of Mario. Who, according to you, will be the next Mario voice actor? Let us know in the comments below.
