He even joyously narrates some of Mario’s classic lines as he plays along with the video games.

Charles Martinet has voiced this title character of Nintendo’s flagship video game franchise since 1990, and he also voices related characters such as Baby Mario, Luigi, Baby Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, and Toadsworth.
