The Voice of Mario Chris Pratt went ahead and first praised Mario’s original voice actor, Charles Martinet, and then talked about how games hardly put Mario forward as a character.

Jack Black, who plays the character of Bowser, which is the most awaited character in the movie by the fans, explained how he was very excited about this character. He explained that “In a way, Bowser is the secret spice of the movie; he’s like the Darth Vader of this universe, and that was fun to play.”

The voice behind Toad, Keegan-Michael Key, talked about coming up with his voice for the character while brainstorming with his partner. He said, “Eventually I got to a place where I literally thought to myself, ‘Can I just act? Can I just act like I’m going on a helium balloon and starting the session?'”
