I’m hoping that @NintendoAmerica and @illumination will have a #MartinetForMario “Game Mode” audio dub as an option for the DVD/Digital release. That would be something special.

I met him during @Mtlcomiccon in 2015 and I had to meet him dressed as Luigi.
He's so nice and full of energy. You can tell he loves voicing all of those Nintendo characters as well as his fans!
Also, I was surprised to hear him speak some french! pic.twitter.com/J4rWisWYc6

When I saw Charles Martinet at a con once, I don’t think I actually met the guy himself because, with his voice, I met Mario and Wario and it was such a magical moment and a great highlight of that time. He’s a voice actor that I believe everyone should aspire to be.

Charles is the nicest and sweetest person ever! He's always been a delight and the reason for us to go cons. He's been our inspiration for everything we do. He even showcased us, before being gamedevs, we're just 2 bros who are Nintendo fans.
You number 1, @CharlesMartinet! pic.twitter.com/2NwXEN26Ev

There's been a lot of praise of the French dub of Mario in the movie. But I bet a lot of you didn't know that Charles Martinet can speak French himself.https://t.co/DqdAB6YNxN

Met @CharlesMartinet multiple times. He's always so filled with joy. I remember a con where Charles was asked to sign a Paarthurnax print from Skyrim, but he couldn't remember any of his lines. The next time we saw him, Charles had multiple phrases memorized. He is a pro's pro! pic.twitter.com/7vx7mxNnO8

And with that, a two-minute thirty-second trailer does another feat for the people attached to the film in some way. It is only left to imagine what a full-fledged movie would do next year.
