I've talked about various Nintendo characters and their voices before - Luigi's voice, Peach's voice, Yoshi's voice and many more! But today we're tackling Mario, quite possibly gaming's most famous voice! As you've probably heard already, Mario's voice actor has just been changed for the first time in decades! But there's more to the story of Mario's voice than just Charles Martinet... So let's talk about why Mario doesn't sound like he used to!
