Charles Martinet gets Guinness World Record for most video game voiceovers for a single role, with 100 as Mario as of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Well maybe get your eyes checked, cus if you bother to count it's way more than 100 games on that list.
For a one liner yeah. For continuous dialog not so much. Plus he also does Luigi which is not so easy to imitate

Does anyone have the time and patience to work out which 100 games Guinness is counting? I'd be curious to see the list.
He originally played Mario at trade shows for a few years before that.
uh what there's over 150 games post Super Mario 64. You can just count them. That's his voice in 2/3rd of them.
I imagine so, considering Ultimate continues reusing Brawl's Mario clips.
I had the same reaction, otherwise; I mean, just 100? He's such a ubiquitous, bigger-than-life character that it feels infinite.
Yeah, but it compensated by his role as Wario (i.e. Wario Ware series)
Duh.
He's obviously not the voice in Mario 1 dude. He would only be in games around the time of Mario 64 and after, and even then Mario isn't in every single game/doesn't have a voice in them all.
But this says specifically Mario.

I guess I skimmed too fast cuz counting every game on that list after Mario 64 got me to about 150ish. But some of these games are NES Remix, Picross, Minecraft, etc soooooo obviously his voice isn't in all of these.
But I will assume they did their due diligence and counted the 100 times he actually voiced Mario.
Still weird that Smash Ultimate happened to be his 100th.

Does Ultimate really not have any new Mario lines? Not one? If it doesn't I'm not sure it should be counted as the 100th.
I met Charles Martinet and he was a real asshole
just kidding. He was a delightful man. Well deserved!
I thought this post was gonna be that ''Oh, like you're doing now?'' copypasta for a second. Lol.
Whenever I see this guy all I can think about is his conan interview.
I mean the fun that could be had with that voice in the bedroom, lol.

Dude acts as Mario & Luigi at Nintendo events all around the world.
I really wish he branched out more in his roles. When he does something different, he is amazing.
He fucking stole the show in Resonance of Fate and he was only in it for a few cutscenes

100%. The TGAs have done an excellent job picking their "lifetime achievement" recipients so far, but Mario/Martinet needs his moment in the spotlight.
Dude I know everyone loves Arthur Morgan, but this is a really weird topic to try to make be about Arthur Morgan.

Dammit. "Not available in your country." Anything of interest happen?
Dang, Charles Martinet has voiced a lot of Mario games, I'd be hard-pressed to name one hundred Mario games post-SNES. Congrats to him!
It's not as good as I remember.
It's just conan taking the piss out of him.
Conan is like "bro, you got to stop"
I was there! He was hilarious, and the tech was mind blowing at the time. I remember him singing "I ain't got nobody" (no body). Cracked my little kid self up. And it made seeing the head in MARIO 64 sorta nostalgic.
So he was using his Mario Teaches Typing jokes even before that game's release. Interesting.
