People are speculating if Charles Martinet isn't voicing Mario and Wario in Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Warioware: Move it

Charles Martinet has been murdered and Chris Pratt is eating his corpse.
That might sound nonsensical but so are the people that are pretending this is a controversy.

Mario sounds like Mario and Wario sounds like recent Wario. I feel confident that both are Charles Martinet. This is nonsense.
Martinet has been voicing Mario since the early 90s. He's in his late 60s now. His voice has changed over the years. I'm not going to assume he's out of the role(s) until confirmed. Especially considering he just did the voices recently.
I don't hear any difference in the Mario voice. The "Zowie!" at the end when he turns into the elephant sounds very much like Martinet. Maaybe Wario is different, but his voice has been gradually changing over the years anyways. It's gone from more of an elaborate villainous-sounding voice, to just kinda gruff.
If you look at Warioware Gold, even then Wario's voice has changed from how it sounded before.

I'm saying it's all due to aging.

I agree that the voice saying "wonderful" doesn't sound like Charles. But I assume it came from the talking berry?
EVERY Arlo video is reaching
Literally watch the Simpsons these days, everyone sounds so off. People age and so do their voices.

I have a strong feeling a lot of people thinking Mario sounds different is that they're hearing the flowers speak and assuming it was Mario. I had the same initial reaction watching the direct live like "wait, who was that?", and then rewatching it saw it was just the flowers in the background.
I think he realized he can double tap a topic for views with a bad take video followed up by the "I'm happy I was wrong!" video.
Martinet has been doing his voice for about 30 years, his voice has definitely changed, he's not gonna sound like SM64 anymore.. Nintendo would have said something if not.
If anything Nintendo seems to really want every sounds and voice in Wonder to be new. Maybe Martinet is just doing something a little different to match.
Martinet will be at a con I'm attending tomorrow.
I could ask him then
I'll never understand why he said Ganon needed to be retired take.
That's most definitely Martinet. It's just that these are the first new clips we've heard in a while so they do sound different due to Martinet aging.
This is just the typical Arlo fearmongering. His videos have become so clickbaity as of late it's annoying.

The more I watch the Wonder trailer, the more I'm convinced it's definitely him.
Hey man, that'd be great, let him know the internet is freaking out a bit. 😝

Weird I thought Mario still sounded like Martinet. People must be smoking too much Wonder Seeds.
He may be under NDA for all I know. I remember he at TooManyGames right after the Mario movie cast was announced and at his panel he said he was sworn to secrecy and could not talk about it
That doesn't sound like something the internet would do...
Arlo's terrible. There was a brief fleeting moment when he was putting out insightful content, but much more often it's really poor
This is my take as well. I read through the entire thread before posting the same thing because I didn't want to redundant, but I'm surprised you're the only one who has said this.
This seems more like whiplash from hearing Mario say something different from "Wahoo!" and "It's-a me, Mario!" Nintendo loves reusing old voice lines.
Mario is 100%, zero question Martinet
Wario sounds a bit weird, but theres a chance it was just a bad take? Maybe they will go in and re-record it before release?

How could anyone hear this and not think it's Martinet…?

Honestly Wario Ware Gold sounds pretty similar to the Wario World / Wario Land 4 voice to me. Sounds like a throwback to the original Wario voice style.
Yeah I don't know what the heck people are on, that is unmistakably Martinet.
Honestly all it takes is one YouTuber to say something like this and then people will just start hearing it themselves, even if they never would have on their own. People are incredibly suggestible.
Darling its me Katherine, your sacred wife! Don't forget these! *throws giant wooden cross and useless purity ring*
Did you click the video at all?
Let's go through the conversation again
-Garou suggested that the Wario voice line in the direct is the announcer / narrator of the direct, pointing to the Japanese direct and Wario's voice being completely different from the English voice we heard in the English direct
-I post a video that Wario in the Japanese version of the Made in Wario series games has had a Japanese voice for a while now and that the voice in the cutscene is the same voice as the voice in the Japanese direct clip. This shows that it is not unusual that Wario's voice in the Japanese Direct to not be Martinet as Wario's had a Japanese voice when referring to the Made in Wario series for a while now. So while I don't believe at all Martinet has been replaced, pointing to the Japanese direct not featuring him is not evidence that he hasn't
-For some reason, you tell me that Charles Martinet voiced Wario in Wario Ware Gold's English version when only the Japanese version was being mentioned
Here's a full playthrough of the Japanese version of Wario Ware Gold "doe", timestamped to Wario talking mid-game. This is Hironori Kondo voicing Wario
