Longtime Voice Actor Charles Martinet Retires From Voicing Mario, Gets New Role as Mario Ambassador

Charles Martinet will no longer be the official voice of Mario!

The voice actor is actually the original voice of Mario, and has been doing so since the early days of the character in the 1990s.

While he has been voicing Mario since 1991, his first official appearance came in 1995 when the game Mario’s Game Gallery was released, followed by perhaps that more popular Super Mario 64, which first released in 1996.

As Charles steps down as the voice of the iconic Nintendo character, he will be moving into a new role with the video game company – Mario Ambassador!
