Voice Origins: Super Mario 64 vs. Super Smash Bros. Melee (Comparison)

- Charles Martinet has had a number of excellent performances over the years as Mario, but I'm most fond of his first major performance: Super Mario 64. Over the years, I've wondered if those original clips have ever been reused or rereleased in a higher sample quality. Turns out, they have - in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
I made this video by comparing the original clips from 64 with Mario and Luigi's voices in Melee. As it turns out, it's not just quality that's the difference, but also some interesting differences (pitch changes, edits, and straight up mysteries) between the three voices. I've listed my findings in this video for you to judge for yourself.
(I realize this is just about the weirdest and most obscure topic I could have for a video, but Super Mario 64 is my favorite game, so that's the way it is.) - เกม
Mario: Original Song
Luigi: Nightcore
LOL SO TRUE
nightcore is trash
😂😂😂
nightcore is all the comments saying "do 1.25x it sounds so much better" realized
@@xXSpongeBroBrownPantzXx Yes, yes it is.
I never understood why Luigi’s voice was just Mario’s but higher pitched for 64 and Melee. It’s so strange but it fits pretty well lol.
Not when Charles Martinet did voice
Luigi in more N64 games after
MK64 USA which are Mario Golf 64,
Mario Party 3 and Mario Tennis. :/
Alejandro Vélez indeed
Short answer, Sakurai was lazy.
Branny Cedeño
Yup. Sakurai is a quick cash grabbing buffoon! XD
@@lisamcrad5799 Nah, that's not why. Choosing a right voice for Luigi had nothing to do with that. The answer is still laziness. And also because in Japan, Luigi still had this weird child-like voice you can find in Mario Party and Mario Kart Advance. Sakurai probably wanted to go the easy way with Luigi's voice while respecting the official voice work already done for the character but still didn't want to just reuse the voice lines. Then again, his brilliant solution was to raise the pitch for Mario's voice, slap them to Luigi with adhesive tape and call it a day.
I was just thinking about how Mario's "yeehaw" was probably an unused 64 clip a while back. Great video on Mario's old barks! "WAH! WOH! YEHH!"
Hey thanks! Man, I miss these clips. Wish they'd show up in a new game.
Yeah...
I remember hearing it in Mario vs Donkey Kong on GBA.
Why did a get this video on my recomendations, i dont understand anything lol.
Its dumb because some games before smash melee and smash 64 had luigi with his iconic voice
0:57 my cat at 3 am before she barfs on my carpet
0:03 when you’re cat IS barfing
Why is this even funny it’s just 3 AM what has humor become
X___V1cT0R___X More like 1:14
dont like we hit the 420
h
So luigi really is just a green mario
Literally
Yes, that's what luigi stands for
>:0
My two favourite characters are Mario and Mario :)
I mean, always has been
0:29 that luigi UH is so much higher quality
“UH” *loses a stock*
Maybe they used the uncompressed one.
0:47 my absolute favorite voice line, especially used in Mario party. I wonder if Martinet can still do that yell.
Probably not as good, because that was done YEARS ago.
POV: you’re luigi and you got star k.o’d
Smg4 uses this voice line
Nope
1:04 That oof gives me the tingles
Sus
EUOF
Ouf
Ha! GAYYYYYYYY!
Wasnt luigis mansion a launch title, so they could have had normal luigis voices
edit: luigi also had his voice in mario kart 64
Well, the Smash team was probably too far in, this making them not able to change it before launch
I wouldn't be surprised if Melee was in development before or at the same time as Luigi's Mansion. They make no reference toward it in his trophy description and it didn't get a stage til Brawl.
Paul Novacek Well yeah. Melee was supposed to be a launch title, but got pushed back a little bit. It only released 2 months after launch.
@@paulnovacek3715 actually, melee has a trophy of luigi with the poltergust
@SmiffyLel *poltergust
Teacher: what sound does the owl make?
All the kids in kindergarten: 1:20
1:23 Wavedash noises
That weird period in time when they hadn't quite settled on a voice for Luigi yet.
I still liked it, though. It felt really natural in Mario Kart 64 and Mario Party.
They also seemed to still be figuring out where to take his personality (Melee was developed alongside Luigi's Mansion, after that I think they knew) so for the first two smash games, they just kind of made him a handsome rogue. Have you seen his weird dance from Smash 64? What a stud.
Audio files take up a lot of space, so reusing such assets is very storage-efficient. Also time restraints, as others have said. Nothing to do with devs being "lazy," as others have suggested. Sakurai and his team poured their hearts out for this game's completion, and it shows in the final product.
It honestly shows the exact opposite in the final product. Melee was very rushed and it had no right being as good as it is. So much fucking weird glitches and so much broken completely characters and moves.
@@mohamedaminekhadhraoui6417 It depends on what you mean by "broken." I believe that normally "broken" refers to something that overcentralizes the meta game or creates gives a character such an advantage that all others are made unviable, such as Brawl's Meta Knight or Smash 4's Bayonetta. In both of these games, a majority of the top twenty players played the respective game's top character. This has never happened in the history of Melee's competitive scene.
maybe the voice actor didn't feel like showing up again ehehbdjdjsks that sentence was wrong
@@ChristianTheChicken I meant broken in the literal sense. Moves that actually don't work. Moves that work ways that aren't intended. Moves that lack almost completely their hotboxes. Sheilds that are dead on arrival. Infinite on a grab. Phantom hits. The list is really unlimited. Fox being op served the game in being fun. But then there's shit like Kirby and g&w.
@@ChristianTheChicken melee despite being a very fun and excellent game is a perfect example of an unpolished unfinished game.
Sakuri: we'll have to make your voice almost identical to Mario's
Luigi: OOF
Edit: thanks for the likes 😀
This was due to time constraints, right?
Hikaru SRΩ audio files are big, so this was to save space for the full game
Oh yeah, that's right.
Yeah, I know all about how big audio files are.
Or at least wav files.
Good ol' Sakuri
@@johncaiwa XD
1:13 Me and the boys sniffing the funny sugar under my parents bed
That honestly made me laugh hard.
PFFFF ok you got a laugh from me XD
😆👌
"The funny sugar" lol
lmfaoooooooooooo
No one:
Nintendo in early 2000's: HIGH PITCHED SNORING
huh
1:07 I really wish they kept this as the Star KO for Brawl and onward
It doesn't really fit with the new voice
@@IAm-zo1bo what do you mean bruh it's the same voice actor and the same character
@@IAm-zo1bo there are different Mario eras, such as this Mario being the 64 Mario, and the Ultimate Mario being the Odyssey Mario.
@@tsmooties It's literally the same Mario though. Mario isn't like Link.
Gappy ̔̏̊ Yeah but Mario doesn't sound as good in the new games imo. It's understandable since Martinet got older but still
0:22
OOF
*oof*
100% Roblox copied mario
ouef
oof OOF O O F
0:29, luigi's copy of the sound is seemingly uncompressed, you can hear more highs and lows in it, compared to the sm64 ver
Mario’s melee voice clips are uncompressed. It’s this video being bad making them sound low quality.
0:38 Crash Bandicoot be like:
Whoa!!
That is a very similar whoa to Crash :O
*screen k.o*
0:56 Kinda interesting Luigi actually sounds like modern Luigi
I really wish they should’ve HD
Luigi’s voice clips from the
USA version of Mario Kart 64,
Mario Golf 64, Mario Tennis 64 and the Super Mario Advance games
instead of just lazily making
Mario’s voice clips high pitched for
Luigi. :(
At least we got a mod for
Luigi’s real voice for Melee. :)
th-cam.com/video/C4cVIE11fPE/w-d-xo.html
@George Shaw Super Smash Bros Melee was made in 13 months
George Shaw
Just Sakurai. No one else but Sakurai just like he is now like he added more Sword fighters like Byleth. :/
@@alejandrovelez6358 are you still going off about Byleth in Smash
@Alejandro Vélez ...You do realize Nintendo made the decision to put Byleth in, not Sakurai. Right?
That "OOF" is basically always what I hear in my mind when I read it
Mario (n64): hoo
Mario (melee):HoOO
Luigi (melee):HOOOOOOOOOO
I regret to be in Super Mario 64 forever
It would've been BETTER if Luigi's voices were used from Luigi's Mansion instead of the high pitched version!
the games were being developed side by side by different studios
they likely had no idea that Luigi's Mansion was even a thing until it was too late
@@TorutheRedFox how did you happen to be so fast
@@arekrekas213 wot
Luigi's Mansion is a spin-off, not a main game. The main game is Mario 64
I have always preferred Mario having this voice over his "need a glass of water" tone he developed beginning with Brawl. I loved jolly Mario and he also looked the best in Melee. He sounded and looked like peak Mario. I always mod this voice and model back into the game with every Smash sequel.
Also, I enjoy how the video ends by removing the sound icon and displaying the artwork and titles raw.
My man, it's not charles martinet's fault for becoming old and sounding like he needs a glass of water
@@alesta2212 In the development of Brawl, they actually told him to sound more serious and they stuck with it ever since. Comparatively, in Odyssey, he sounds very much the closest to his golden years and far more lively.
This was something that i noticed a long time ago, and i finally have found someone that noticed that too.
I really don't understand why they removed the "ee-haw" clip from Mario 64, and after watching this video, i really want to know why, maybe was beacause of storage issues.
I really liked this video, keep the good work!
Now i don't feel like the only one who tinked about this.
Thanks! It's definitely a little mystery.
i think that the biggest mystery with that is where said clip would be used in sm64... Maybe as an alternate sound for landing a triple jump?
@@ganondalf8090 or maybe an alternate triple jump voice clip?
My theory is it had to do with then planning a horse. If I'm correct that was Mario 64 that they originally planned the idea before reusing it for Ocarina of Time
@@1upGuy I could see it working for throwing something
Melee is the worst Smash game because of 1 simple reason:
-Luigi's just a high pitched Mario.
EVEN SSB64
Its also got a toxic elite player base
Tristan Lackey that's the smash community as a whole lol, also the community doesn't mean the game sucks
@@nck9755 oh god oh no why are we talking about the smash community in 2020, bad idea
abstract215 126 at least there they had an excuse since it came out way earlier
1:25 I actually really like that voice line for Luigi, it adds to his weirdness as a character
0:03 That sound makes my laugh EVERY TIME.
0:47 Mario Party 1 and 2 actually used that same sound for Mario's Despair clip.
1:13 Aww damn it, my paper shredders jammed again...
The nostalgia I have for these voice lines is immense
Thanks man, this video is gold for me
Was tryna look for another but I ended up finding this beautiful video 😍
Good Job man, I'd actually like to see more of this.
good video, informative, straight to the point, well edited. This one gets a thumbs up from me!
Jesus some of these samples are SO iconic like 10 different memories appear in my head instanly when hearing them
It's 2 AM. I'm sitting on a toilet watching Mario sounds.
What an interesting time this was. They still hadn't settled on a luigi voice. That same year super circuit used the weird pitched luigi voice and then Luigi's Mansion used the now permanent voice, only for melee to use the pitched...
If we're going for pitch accuracy too, then the samples are sliiightly more lower-pitched in mario 64 than this video presents (mario getting burned by lava for example).
I looked up a longplay to be sure, thought i was going crazy.
1:18 Carti Adlibs
I’ve mained Luigi for years and never noticed that his voice was just Mario’s but higher pitched.
Finally good content, suscribed
Weird how I never noticed Mario's Melee voice was all clips from SM64. I guess that's also why I thought he sounded so much older in Brawl, since the voice in Melee was probably at least 12 years old lol
Luigi's voice is Mario's voice high pitched, which was done to save space.
I'm pretty sure that "YEEHAW" comes from Mario Vs Donkey Kong for the GBA
Nah, that game is younger than Melee.
@@pieofchart what
Mario vs Donkey Kong also reuses 64's clips
That game came after melee.
Fun fact: Mario's jumping at 0:08 comes from Mario 64
After all these years, now I understand why Luigi's voice was weird in this one.
I thought I had to look for a different VA, but it was always there.
I expected Luigi to have a lower voice, but then again, this is one of if not the first time he had a voice
Mario Kart 64
Mario Party 1, 2, and 3
Mario Golf
Mario Tennis
Luigi's Mansion (unsure if it released in Japan earlier than Smash Melee but it did for the U.S.)
You're entirely wrong.
@average fart pørn enjoyer (2 years later) You're actually wrong, only the Japanese version of MK64 has someone other than Charles for Luigi, the overseas version uses Charles Martinet's voice
Mario Parties 1 and 2 do use someone other than Charles, but Mario Party 3 uses Charles Martinet
Mario Golf and Tennis *do* use Charles Martinet, but his voice does sound different (Most likely because his voice hadn't quite yet been set in stone)
Also the Mario spinoffs are more important than you think, we usually only get 1 mainline Mario game per console, sometimes 2 (Or, in the case of the NES, 4) so spinoffs help fill in the gaps (With 1 being the case for the N64)
Also, Super Mario Advance, releasing in March of the same year of Melee, also contains Charles Martinet's voice clips
Honestly, I prefer when Luigi's voice is higher than Mario, not lower, it really makes him sound younger, almost 19 when Mario's 21.
Edit: WHEN I SAID IT MAKES HIM SOUND 19, I DIDNT MEAN HE WAS ACTUALLY 19 IN THE GAME, SAME WITH MARIO SOUNDING LIKE HES 21, DOSEN'T MEAN HE IS ACTUALLY THAT AGE.
it doesnt really sound younger to me, just pitched higher
@metal mario yeah i think that voice also fits with Luigi and yeah i understand that it sounds younger cause the original voice of Luigi makes him sound like an old man of probaly 47 years old idk
Mario's 21? Good lord he ages horrible, mario looks to be in his mid 40s to early 50s
@@jeffcase7827 Well, No not now, Right now he's in his late 30's, Luigi is about...37, so Mario is 39, Since it's 2020 and Mario has been around since 1981, that makes him look his age, I'm 21 right now, as I was made a character in 1999, (although I was a power up 1996, so just call it a 3 year pregnancy)
they're twins and middle aged men wtf are you talking about
0:28 me and the boys after one of the boys gets a gender swap
Hmmmmm
Funtime_Swagbear wtf XD
Wait, what? 😶
Gay
One of them lost their last stock?
This video is so interesting! Most of Luigi's voice clips from melee are pitched up, but not all of them? It's so strange how it isn't 100% consistant.
Also, that "hya" that he does in Mario tornado is from the DK vs Mario games, but I think I heard that in some Mario 64 roms
0:35 Goated sound. This version of Marios voice was the best.
I miss when Mario says OOF after getting hit, it was my favorite for how funny sounds.
great video
0:44 ah, the Luigi wavedash noise
Edit: Oops, I meant Mario. Luigi's is different.
I could see that unused Yeehaw! voice sound being used for when Mario either gets on or gets off of Yoshi when he was ridable during development.
If Wario ever made it to smash melee, then his voice will be a low pitch version of Mario's voice
Mario’s voice in low pitch is weird af
@@nakedpear35581:25
My favorite Mario voiceclip has the be the “yeehaw” from Melee
And the reason this luigi's higher is cuz of mario kart 64's sound designer wanting to va toad, but got luigi instead
Sakurai noticed the light pitch and wanted to keep it. Good ol daddy sakurai
0:46 is actually from Mario vs. Donkey Kong on the GBA
I'm just getting complete "Mario Has Logged In" vibes lol
*It's a meeeee, Marioooooo.*
Tatsuki
*YAAAAHOOOOOOOO*
Luigi's voice adored me man. I liked when he shared the same voices with mario. I wish he still did.
this is the video that gets autoplayed while you're laying in bed that confuses you enough to put you to sleep within 30 seconds
0:45 that audio was actually used in Mario vs. Donkey Kong for GBA! (or re-used idfk)
Luigi: Mama mia I didn't do my homework
Mario: That's okey dokey, you can copy mine but make it look different
Luigi: gr8 0:20
Good brother Mario
I think this would've been better if there were gameplay snippets of Mario 64 showing when Mario says these voice lines. For context's sake. Still, great job!
Reminds me of the times when Luigi was just sprite of Mario but green.
I'm so used to Luigi having his own voice that this slightly unnerves me
Please make this a series
very neat!
I never noticed this when I was younger wow
0:59 that’s sounds like that to Mario from Mario 64 DS
Yeehaw! I've never heard Mario say that before, that's wild
I just realized that the voice clips of Mario Vs Donkey Kong from GBA are the same than the ones from Super Mario 64.
Its funny, I saw the thumbnail for this and the first one I think of is the YEEHAW and wondered what its source was. Guess I'll never know.
0:22 🤣🤣🤣😭 I can't stop laughing at this!!
Lol! Gotta love the fact Mario goes “whoo” when he kicks. 😜😜😜
Watch one too many Mario 64 speed runs and i guess I'm watching this now
Mario(Lacina)Bowser(Tanika)DadaCapcomMorrigan
Luigi (Kymonni) DK (Kim) Mashari Marvel X-23
Big brain is realizing Luigi was originally just Green Mario, so the voice clip is actually paying tribute to the older video game
1:29 it sounds like he's crying but the image probably did an illusion
Could you do Link or Young Link voice sample next? There's a lot of interesting stuff that are reused from another game just like Mario and Luigi
What does Giant Luigi sound like in Super Smash Melee?
What does Tiny Mario sound like in Smash Bros Melee?
I like to imagine that this voice clip 0:46 was supposed to be in Mario 64, For example, Originally Mario would ride on Yoshi, but since due to coding error and almost time for the game to release in Japan, They only made Yoshi appear on top of Peach’s castle, but for the Voice clip, I’d like to imagine whenever Mario jumped off of Yoshi the “Yee-Haw!” Voice clip would play, but that’s just my opinion.
Can you do this with Sonic in 3DS/Wii U/Ultimate?
made it slightly louder this time around
the "yeehaw" sound effect was in MvDK on GBA i believe
Luigi's death yell in giant form is virtually identical to Mario's burn sound from SM64.
Ditto for Giant Mario's Star KO yell, which is his "falling" one!
Wow
I see why they did that
Because audio files take up a lot of space
I always thought the grunt sound at 0:28 sounded so weird for Mario
Mario’s first voice appearance wasn’t Super Mario 64, it’s was Mario’s Fundamentals/ Mario’s Game Gallery
Best asmr ever
Nintendo Puts Mario Voice In High Pitch To Make It Look It Sounds Like Luigi I Can Tell
Original Mario sounds in Smash Ultimate plz? Also Inside Story voice for Bowser?
1:26 mario has logged in
I still cannot comprehend how Mario and Luigi share the exact same voice type in Melee (yes, I do know they share a voice actor, and a voice type is a different case here), because Luigi already had a different voice type in titles such as Mario Kart 64 🤔🧐
Maybe the Melee "Yeehaw!" was used in some copy of Super Mario 64, when Mario throws Bowser in long distance.
Does Luigi has his regular voice in Brawl and onwards?
