Charles Martinet was the iconic 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:voice of Mario for 32 years, a phenomenally impressive run. These days, he's been replaced by Kevin Afghani, who voices the character in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mario Kart World, but still serve🐻s as a Mario ambassador. Turns out, there are some things he won't do in order to "maintain the integrity" of the plumber.

Internet personality and comedian Ricky Berwick tweets a picture of him and Martinet, alongside the caption: "Charles Martinet wasn't even allowed to do the voice of Mario or any of his iconic character's voices either at the convention I attended o🌳ver the weekend. It's a fucking shame."

, "Yeah, when I met him, I wanted to do a video with him and his voice, but he wasn’t allowed to, since he’s under a contract."

"Oh Ricky. I do the Voice for every Fan I meet. I just don’t improvise non-Mario phrases or dialogue," Martinet replies. "That’s my choice to be sure. I always maintain the integrity of the character. But come and visit me at any Comic Con or Fan expo and you’ll hear 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Super Mario for sure!"

I won♐der what the strangest request he's had to turn down is? I imagine a lot of people want to hear Mario say some weird stuff, so I understand why this is a rule Martinet has imposed on himself.

So, if you ever meet Martinet in pe🐟rson, just remember that he takes Mario seriously. He voiced him for 32 years, so I'm not surprised he wan♚ts to protect that reputation.
