Imagine playing Mario Kart with this guy.
Imagine 😔💯
Love your singing
that would be like watching Mickey Mouse with Walt Disney
H
Lol
Protect this man. He is a natural treasure.
Indeed
He's a Global treasure
National
Yes
@@hapiavenue2136 Yeah, it's supposed to be national... But he isn't a treasure to entire nation. He's a treasure to all nations. A "global" treasure.
Used "natural" as a play on words. But after seeing "global" in the comments, it does sound better in hindsight.
Just imagine if his friend never told him about that audition. This world will never be the same.
In a world where Charles never was in the audition, Mario would had the voice from the Mad Mad Mario sketch videos lol.
The ripple effect is real
He'd probably have the brooklyn voice in the Super Mario Bros Super Show... I wouldn't be a mario fan if that was the world we lived in lmao
I know
Or if he had missed the producer doing the audition on the way out the door by 5 minutes or so...
This guy can’t die, a world without the mario voice actor. It would be horrible.
My guy you have nothing to worry about, this man is in his early 60s according to another comment. He got a good while to go
@@cryptidstudios8194 yea hes 64 this guy has like 35 more years to live 👍
@@mania8048 64? Nice! 😉 The day he passes is the day that breaks me... 😔 I still miss Iwata. 💔
Hes probably recorded so much dialogue as mario that they could recycle it forever if they wanted.
@@Hexcimal83 Fax
If he dies, Mario dies.
He must be protected at all costs.
An Epic Troll ;(
I'll send the calvary
Voice of our childhoods
I like sonic not mario :)
You know he'll always respond
Mario is so wholesome and it's nice to see that the voice behind him is even more wholesome
Oh wow never thought I’d see you here.
Berd i love ur videos!
Love you Berd
U clearly never seen an episode of game thory lol
Oh hii
It feels strange watching this with the sad knowledge that Charles Martinet is officially stepping down as the voice of Mario.
But I’d say 32 years as our favorite Italian plumber is amazing on it’s own. Thank you, Charles, for making Mario the icon that he is. Best of luck to you. ❤
32 YEARS???
How is it 32? Isn't it like 27?
Edit: looked it up, nvm
why did they end the collaboration with him ?@@shadesoftime
@@BarbieChaite actually, Charles retired :[
@@FanOfCloverIII he was forced to do so...
Met him at a comic convention a couple of years back. He’s honestly such a sweet person, and he talked to everyone who came up to him like they were old friends. 100/10, would meet again ❤
Oh yes, I met him too and totally agree. Such a lovely presence!🥰
I'm lost? I love Mario but I've never heard his voice? I played NES and SNES all my childhood.
@@joebloggs5679 he has voiced Mario in games since ‘95
I met him yesterday and we actually had a conversation he was so nice

Imagining Dunkey's voice "ayyyyy pass me the stromboli
He is the voice of my childhood, i had no real friends back then, only freaks who made fun of me because i have asperger's. The only way i could feel happy was playng Mario games, i shead some tears of happiness when i hear his voice because is thanks to him that i have some good memories of when i was 4 to 8.
Thanks Charles.
Me too. We must protect this legend of a man! 😩
It’s funny. I’ve been diagnosed with Asperger’s as a toddler and I have almost the same story. To this day my top 3 games of all time are the two Galaxy games and Mario Kart Wii with Minecraft at number 4. Mario helped get me through a childhood where I had nobody who I felt comfortable with in real life. The worlds created by Shigeru Miyamoto gave me the best friends I had then in these stupid childish games and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Humans can be cruel sometimes i also had a really shity childhood because of others making fun of me just because i'm different and i also found joy in playing videogames that was my way of forgetting how hard the world out there is and how shity humans can be ....
❤️
dang what a loser lmao
nah jk, I’m very glad you got here as you are today, keep it up my man!
"I wanna be more like this character"
No no no no dear Charles.. you ARE this character.
😭
Awww that’s true :,))
Charles Martinet has completed everybodys childhood
Not me i like Mario but spider man is waaaay better

This makes me so happy.
Well hey there Circle
Funny how i just watched your halo video and come here after and find you

Hi Chris
2:07 this man auditioned for a play, and when he didn’t get a part in it at all, he didn’t take that as a sign of “you shouldn’t do this”, he took it as a challenge of “I’m gonna prove to you that I’m better then the best”. Talk about determination and motivation. Thank you Charles.
What a beautiful story. This man deserves this, look at the love he has for this and the joy his Mario has brought to millions. 👏
this dude is literally the emotion happiness if it had a physical form
Victor Olavarria I dont know if your profile pic is so good
Nintendo is gonna take care of him and his family for the rest of his life. I'd be pretty stoked too. XD
yeaaaa
what about joy from inside out?
I legit met him at comic con, HE WAS THE BEST PERSON!
I met Charles Martinet in person and lemme tell you... the man is the nicest and purest person I've ever met
@CleverMan Excuse me?
Stop it, get some help.
CleverMan what the hell?
@@milksalmon If you can do it on Tinder you can do it on TH-cam
@@trli_ STOP it get some help
You didn't meet him you just wish
3:42 spoiler alert: he didn’t get there. Charles is still with us, but it looks like he’s retiring from voicing Mario much sooner than he anticipated. Thank you Charles for giving us 30 years of joy as the iconic character!
Link's voice actor should have the opposite world record
Hyah! Haugh! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuussssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee me princesss
That is excactly what i'm thinking
Boy, I sure am hungry
@@legenddairy0 I could eat an Octorok!
Bruh why are half the comments people saying they will be sad when he dies. Is that the first thing you think of when you see him? :/ he’s 63 and likely has a lot of years ahead of him
the average male lives till they're 82. if this is accurate for charles then we've got 19 years of him left.
BrickNGames good point
Yeah, like wtf. And even if that is the first thought people have, why do they all have to share such a morbid thought?
Yeah, he still has 84 years left waiting for him
BrickNGames
Probably because two iconic people have died in such a short span of time.. Stan Lee and Stephen Hillenburg
I actually already listened to his story..
But in French! :D
He's a very nice guy!
Ouais mais c'est bien plus drôle en anglais on se le cache pas !
Robinny
Sûrement !
wait he speaks french
Afterburner
Yes...
I'm pretty sure he left out how he tried the strong junky Italian accent.
Charles is like the Mr. Rogers of gaming.
I hope no one breaks this record Thank You Charles Martinet for all your years as Mario
Ah, good to see that TH-cam can recommend me quality from time to time.
Ditto
I second that this made me have hope lol
😂 true
Supreme Wolf MT
Oh yeah yeah, soldier.
Supreme Wolf MT it’s been the third time I see your comment on a video 😂 lol
It would be fun to play Mario with Mario
Omg yasss
Yes please
Charles has stated he doesn’t really play video games
Mario playing mario thats sounds great
@@mrcritical6751 But it would still be cool.
Thank you for everything, Mr. Martinet.
Its really sad to see him go, I've been playing Mario since 2014. Thank you for everything you done, now you should rest after everything you give to us.

Thank you for everything Charles.
👍
He is an amazing legend!
That really is a great quote
R.I.P. may he live on 😔
@@demonsweatthings8493 huh?????
God bless you Mr. Charles Martinet. You are a very humble man & you are GREATLY rewarded for everything you've done & continue to accomplish because Mario & Luigi will always be on top of the world!
He also plays Wario And Waluigi!
@@seriousspider1378 and some more! ☺️
So his middle name is charles?
@@patricksconfused5242 That's his first name.
@@__babyface When you say Mr you usually say there last name after saying Mr. So for example Mr. Martinet not Mr. Charles Martinet
"I will love doing this until I'm 147." Well, that certainly hits different now...
3:43 has aged badly already :(
we'll miss you massively Charles..every Mario game will never be the same without you. I really do hope I meet him in the future whenever or wherever it is and give him a big hug
Petition for this guy to live to 147
*to live forever
@zImSweat- But how old is now?
@@Ariidayo 63

The man of 4 voices (in video games). For 30+ years this man has voice 4 famous characters in countless video games. Generations will know this man. Charles has brought joy to everyone. The world hasn’t been the same since Charles became the voice of Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi.
technically six voices, as he also does baby mario and baby luigi
@@TheNightSpy and also did donkey kong at some point
This guy has the best outlook in life, I wish I could be that happy and contented.
You would if you were worth $10M
Just keep on working at it! You'll get there eventually.
This guy is literally the voice of my childhood and current adult life lol I need to meet him

@@hitman007353 This video was released yesterday.
@@hitman007353 he didnt die
He should be voicing Mario in the Super Mario Bros movie
No he shouldnt. Nobody wants to hear that for a whole movie lol
I agree
Maybe for some parts yeah, but NO not the entire movie
Everyone would get really tired of it
100% would have made the movie number 1 of the year
Doing full sentences packed with even more emotion in them, with that voice? Have some mercy on the man's voice
We gonna missed this Legend in videogames 😢

Butch hartman lied, only 2 succesful shows isnt enough to make my childhood...
I also hope you get to at least 147 Mr. Charles Martinet 😭 You’re too precious!!
This is kind of random but I noticed that the number of dislikes on the video is at 147.... weird
He's 63, Miyamoto is actually older than this guy!
@@wingedbluj1674 At the rate Mario games come, 147 might be done before he turns 70 lol.
This. He’s an international treasure.
He hopes he gets 147? Is this guy a snooker fan?
We'll-a-miss you Charles.
Thanks for the "woohoos". It won't be the same without you.
Charles Martinet for smash.
But Mario, Luigi, and Wario are already playable.
tjlnintendo don’t forget about Walui..... oh wait
He's #1 in the Smash roster.

Mario does sound a bit, off in ulti
Honestly, totally deserved to get that record. Voicing the same character a hundred times is astonishing, and his voice has become so iconic that everyone who hears it instantly knows "Hey, this is Mario". Thank you Charles Martinet. You're great. I hope you can continue to do this for many years to come.
EskChan19 you made a great long comment!
“Hey this is Mario...”

“Be careful, he’s a hero.”
“Carefully, he’s a hero”
Got the quote wrong my guy :)
*Carefully, he's a hero. Know your memes
*legend
Hes a mario*
he didn't make the games...he's just the actor...
I never get tired of hearing Charles Martinet tell his story on becoming the voice of Mario (& other characters), & just his history with working on all these games for Nintendo! I love it so much :)
It's a shame because I don't speak english.
I got tired reading your story let alone listening to this old fart .
I been playing Mario games for YEARS and this is my first time seeing the voice of the character. Amen.
I hope no one will steal that award from charles you will be remembered as the original voice of mario my friend thank you for the memories
If your company has a character made from Japanese people that made an Italian plumber who's voiced by an American person, you know you're going to be successful.
Lol
lol
And with a French name lmao
And with spanish nationality
Great mix

Thank you for bringing Mario to life. Because of you, you've blessed everyone with childhood memories of one of videogames finest heroes.
Charles Martinet doesn’t just play Mario, he literally is Mario!
I hope to goodness that they just use archived audio of him when he eventually reaches World 7.
Pierre Begley what do you mean by that? Reaching world 7?
Gigantic Turd world 7 is typically a world in new Mario 2D platformer games taking place in the sky, on clouds, I.e. heaven
Oof
What a nice reference... :'(
Luckily he won't go to world 8
He slowly start to look like Robin Williams.
Hopefully he doesn't follow the same path.
....Oh god.
You had to point that out, didn't you........
stop before we find a flying dead person in his house
Nah, he's his own unique lookin' self.
He isn't 147 man, he stepped down 87 years before his expected step-down date :(
What a wonderful wholesome man, very fitting. He seems genuinely happy at the thought of his career bringing joy to hundreds of millions of people. I hope he's had and continues to have great life.
Why are there so many comments about when he dies
He’s 63
He’s got a good while to go
Tommy The hospital fish people are weak and morbid these days.
Americans don't live too long cause of their diet.
水野あい rude
I thought it was because he said he wanted to live until he’s 147
Hmmm I think he will live about 100 years or somethin
I just finally had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Martinet yesterday at Indiana Comic Con and he is every bit as joyous and down to earth as you would imagine, and then some. He genuinely does love his fans and what he does. I thought I'd get just one picture but Mr. Martinet took 3 with me in various Mario poses! He signed my OLED Switch dock, not just one little signature, but signed it and wrote little Mario quotes all over it on BOTH SIDES!!! Thank you for everything over the years Mr. Martinet, I wish you all the best!

This guy is a legend
I agree this guy marked my Childhood!
Your mom was a legend in our fraternity before she got old n fat.
Your from tofus vid right random question
Even if he didn’t do the full Mario accent, this guy’s normal voice would’ve been WAYYY better than Chris Pratt’s voice for the movie. Plus he could still sprinkle in the Mario sounds we all know and love. I hate that they just hire famous people for Hollywood animations, not people that that actually fit or do voice acting 😒
Facts
We were robbed. Blind. Simple as that.
Yeah im tired of that trend only picking hollywood actors, they rich enough, animations used to have voice actors and i liked it more
These companies only care about what will bring in the most money, and Chris has grossed so much money in his involved movies. At least Charles was still involved with the movie

No big deal just crashed an audition and got the best job in the history of the world!
Well, I'd say its a cut for the best job between being the voice of Mario or hosting the Prices is Right. Either, I think, would be tremendously rewarding.
