I automatically graft the voices & personalities of the 90's Super Mario cartoons(both) onto the characters.

[Stay Up Be Easy]

Whenever they have a new game or media. It's subconscious at this point.

So much more fun and full of character than the cutesie squeaks and grunts from the games.

Spoiler

I'm fully aware the actual show itself was kinda garbo.

Koopas voice is just magnificent. The voice they give Bowser from Sunshine and Galaxy is just...ugh.
They're the definitive versions for me. Except Toad. He sucks and can die under a freeway bridge.

Spoiler

Bob Hoskins & John Leguizamo were both more than decent too.

PS. I do the same for Jaleel White. Not Robotnik though. As wonderful as both of his VA's were.

Everytime I think of Mario's voice from the cartoons I always think of the "mama?! mama luigi?!" line.

I love Charles Martinet's take on Mario but I always found it interesting that when he auditioned for Mario, he originally performed with the gruff Brooklyn accent instead of the high pitched italian accent.

Jaleel White as Sonic was the greatest casting of all time though. He and Ryan Drummond are definitely my fave English voices for the character.

Mario64 with high pitch voiced Mario ruined this for me.

 

[Zonic]

holy shit, so you're saying that ghostbuster is part of the mario universe?!

This would totally explain the origin story of how Luigi got into bustin' ghosts and his fear of them.

Charles Martinet has been voicing Mario for over twenty years that it's probably weird to some adults to hear Mario's older VAs from the cartoons.

Is there a video or audio of this? I'm curious to hear what was his original voice for Mario was like.

Slime Busters fucked me up for life. I bought a Legend of Zelda VHS and had to watch Slime Busters before Zelda.

Thanks Nintendo

I'll take "fuck you I'm burning your record" Luigi over canon Luigi any day.

I'm more than happy to leave 90s Cartoon Mario in the past

Oogtar is unforgivable

 

[Jawbreaker]

I grew up on the show/cartoons, so this is also something that still happens with me, haha.

This isn't the actual audition tape but he goes into detail about why he chose the softer voice.

 

[TreIII]

A number of King Koopa's plots were just grade A troll material, instead of seemingly actual means to take over the kingdom/world. And if not that, they were (mostly) competent ruses like opening up a fast food joint where he got to keep the money (including all of the Mario Bros and Princess' savings).

All the more reason why I love him over the canon redhead Bowser! Better Dad, overall, too.

 

[Subconian Dreamer]

Sorry, but Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo are the only true Mario brothers

 

[Aeriscloud]

I love Danny Wells version of Luigi.

Spell his name backwards and it's Ratgoo. Because that's what he was, Ratgoo.

Guess who else is canon?!?



Elvira is a childhood treasure!

We got Luigi hunting ghosts with a vacuum cleaner.
Now just shove Peach in a tight revealing black dress and have her say nasty puns and we're golden.
