he’s too pure for this universe
Unus Annus
Man, it's sad to hear Charles is retiring from voice acting, it was a fun ride. Thank you Charles for everything! ❤
😢
@@eugeniomorichon5624 yes its very ashaming to all
Maybe he might make more cameos
He isn’t retiring from voice acting. He is still doing voices like on dragon ball super. He just isn’t going voice any Mario characters for the Nintendo games. You most likely hear him again
He's just retiring from doing voices for Mario, he'll still be providing voices for other things！
This is the longest I've heard Mario/Luigi talk.
Have you seen the Mario Sports Mix press conference? Mario speaks for quite a bit there, he's kind of a douche when asked a question about Luigi, though. :P
The most i ever got out of him was " *DO YOU HAVE ANY LUIGIS* "
TheShadowSpear2 lol, right?
My fan self is going insane
No wonder video game voice acting is such an easy job for Charles and Samantha! They don't have to talk in full sentences, because those would be really hard on Samantha doing a high-pitched voice and Charles keeping up his Italian accents. December 20, 2019, 3:27am
This is a human, right? And the human die, right? Please God let this man live forever
Well everyone will be resurrected in the last days so you can be rest assured he ain't gonna leave for good
Tanner Dalton Really I’ve never heard of that
He’ll live on in the embodiment of Mario
Well just like the rest of the good ones, bye bye see you later.
Don't worry. He got way many stocks of 1up's.
Now that is an audiobook I would buy
I want it
But we have it free
They NEED to make audiobooks of ANY printed Mario story.

Instant buy for me
I love how Martinet gets so into character when he's Mario that he adds flourishes to dialog, never once being tripped up while reading it.
Notice you didn't notice he actually messed up on some words here and there. And stumbled here and there. It wasn't that often but I just thought I'd point that out.
@@ozzacassiepophart6349 4 year old comment though
@@ozzacassiepophart6349 how I see it as that he's human and a lot of people would make little errors when reading aloud to a crowd of people while doing voices & engaging the audience at the same at time
Charles is Super Mario in my eyes, he does these characters flawlessly!
I mean, he's the voice actor for Mario, Luigi, Toad, Wario and Waluigi
Some Nintendo Gamer he only voices Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi. Not Toad.
EpicMarioGamer24 he also voiced donkey Kong at one point
Not Toad, but he does voice Toadsworth.
That's like saying Trump should be able to do a flawless impression of himself. :)
This would be a great story for Charles to read to his kids.
Martinet doesn't have kids.
@@vita1ogy. Maybe someone should fix that.
@@vita1ogy. Most eligible bachelor.
Bro you're EVERYWHERE
or went to schools and read to children.
He was more then just any ol' "Jump-Up Super star" but he was also more then the funny and humble grandpa we all wished we had, but still an unreplaceable national treasure we held so dear!
We gonna miss you so much Mr.Martnet.😞
We'll miss this man as the bros.... But his legacy will live on
Just imagine Martinez waking up in the morning. He thinks everyday that he is making kids happy, because he is the voice of their favorite haracter.
It's Martinet lol Martinez is his Hispanic counterpart perhaps.
Thank you Martinez.
Yeah he is the voice of wario
Classic Rock Radio he doesn’t just think, he knows
CARLOS MARTINEZ
Luigi casually throwing shade at Mario's diet will never fail to make me giggle
Most interpretations have Mario be a big eater, I love this book giving him insane taste though, makes it way funnier in moments like this where characters call him out on this
This man is too sweet and wholesome for this world
I used to have this book as a kid. I had the goofiest grin on my face during this whole video
I loved this book too, I still have it on my shelf (I think)
I still have my copy! This video made me so happy!
That sounds absolutely magical. If I were you, Id download this audio before it randomly disappears one day
Same, i never thought I'd hear the man himself narrating it.
I have this book.
This should be the counter example whenever anyone says Charles couldn't do a whole movie in that voice.
this and the sports mix interview, mario reads your letters, vines, mario's game gallery, pretty much anything that involves mario and luigi speaking in full sentences.
This is literally the perfect example of how exhausting listening to his voice would get. This is why Mario games have never had any story or dialogue. His voice is great for short clips, not dialogue especially if it's at all emotionally charged or serious in any way.
@@ATthemusician agree, short bursts only. Not whole movie
@@ATthemusician you do realize he's doing, like, all of the characters, correct? Thus, he's speaking for ten minutes, on a children's book, to a public audience. And he's doing a damn good job doing it.
Could only imagine what he could do with the time to record lines for a movie.
Enjoy your joyless sounding Mario, I guess.
@@ShdowSora They like "H O L L Y WO O D M A N" more i guess
Thank you TH-cam for recommending me a bunch of Charles Martinet videos after his retirement and making me miss him even more
You know what they say: ALL TOASTERS TOAST TOAST

All toasters toast toast.
"There's the problem; Too many toasters"
Charles Martinet is a LEGEND. A shame he is no longer voicing the characters.
😢😢😢😢
For those thinking “it would get annoying fast”… are you thinking Mario is gonna talk 2 hours straight or what? There’s other important characters and voice actors in the movie too, it’s not just gonna be Mario talking ffs. I’d prefer hearing Charles as mario for a movie than Pratt. If we as players can stand Mario’s screaming and yahoos for hours and hours on end, a movie is nothing.
It gets annoying after just 2 long sentences for me, so to have that constantly peppered throughout an hour or more just sounds like that torture they used in Guantanamo Bay where they would randomly play loud snippets of annoying music
You do realize he’s not acting he’s just reading a book using a different voice
How Chris Pratt was chosen over this masterpiece is something I will never fully understand.
Money
I know right Hollywood sucks
@@jonathanberrios585 ye it does but they need to get people in those seats somehow (cause the name "Mario" definitely won't already...lmao)
@@justincase4152 if they only got it right the first time people would be selling out those tickets
Probably because they want to take Mario back to his Brooklyn roots
I found out this book was supposed to go along with the Super Show, and there is a cassette with Lou Albano, Danny Wells, and Toadstool's cartoon voice actors reading their lines. It's awesome seeing Charles reading it in the modern day voices
Aw really? I would’ve loved to hear that!
@@keijijohnson9754 I believe it's on TH-cam (or the internet) somewhere, search for the book name

Thanks. I wish I could hear that phrase more often.
Charles Martinet is such a wholesome person I can't believe he actually exists.
"These are Magic flowers!"
-The crowd: "YaaaaaY!!"
Thank you, Charles, for your 30+ years of bringing joy to kids and adults alike.
It was-a-you, Mario ❤
He’s probably the most cheerful person I’ve ever seen
This is what everybody needs during quarantine.
people are still in quarantine??
@@notacatiswear2849 Yep
and people have the audacity to claim this voice wouldn't have worked in the movie. I could listen to him all day
They're not real Mario fans if they have the audacity to disrespect Charles Martinet Mario voice.
Real Mario fans aren't supposed to be die-hard Martinet fans. You're like saying that only those who grew up with the single-player 3D Marios are real fans. 😅
There are far more fans who have been a fan longer than you have and they don't mind not having Martinet as the movie VA.
@@KyleEvra nah, they’re Charles fans who are aware he’s older and should rest his voice instead of voicing an entire movie.
This is so pure. Preserve this video.
Not to mention give this book a reprint
Everyone should download for keeps.
Just in case TH-cam shuts down one day.
But did Mario ever get his pickles for his Italian ice??
*CLIFFHANGER*
Oh the drama
What is Italian ice?
Deuce Moncura it is a type of shaved ice. Its texture is like a mix between snowcones (sno balls) and ice cream. Typically made with fruits and berries. Cherry Italian ice tastes really good. I would highly recommend.
@@madsstrawberry
Is it primarily found in Italy, or can I buy it in local stores in America too?
Deuce Moncura There used to be an Italian Ice storefront nearby where I lived, but it has since closed down. There are chains in America like Rita’s that sell Italian Ice, they are just hard to come by. I suggest if you want Italian Ice, you need to really search for a place. Do some digging.
I absolutely love how Charles not only voices Mario and Luigi, but I also enjoy the jokes he cracks as he reads the book, and even questions some of the things that are written in it.
I know. He makes everybody laugh which makes it kind of feel like you're listening to one of those old sitcom cartoons or the beginning part of the Mario Brothers super show where it's a sitcom before it turns in to a cartoon. That's so awesome! My favorite line that he says is when he reads that he ran out of fresh mushrooms. " Hello! Quote that is epic! I was kind of questioning that too just like Mario was. Cuz to me the way he said that said, " I never said that. "
To think we could have gotten this and instead we got chris pratt
This man was ROBBED
I had the dumbest smile throughout this whole video. I actually felt like a kid listening to story time. That was wonderful.
This is proof he could do Mario in the movie.
unless he could do a narration
Or Mario’s dad….
Never forget what they took from us.
Pratt fans: _"maRTINet WOuLD bE AnNoyIng iN A 2 hOuR MOvIe!!!!!1!!!!!!1!1111!!!"_
Martinet: *proves himself perfectly capable of doing Mario's voice for long periods of time without it getting annoying*
Pratt fans: _surprised Pikachu face_
He was always capable of doing it. But it grow tiering the more it goes on.
I would watch 2 hours of charles talking with mario's voice tbh
and I would rather watch that, instead of mario with a voice of just a guy without energy on his voice. I say this as an opinion.
I'd watch the movie with Martinet's voice. As soon as I heard Chris Pratt's "interpretation" of Mario's voice, I decided for sure not to see it.
@@cleverman383 hey that's on you 👍🏾
@@cleverman383 I dont know anything about chris pratt. but for sure I dont want Mario just sounding like a bored guy. I want mario's real voice
We love you Charles! Thank you for all the memories you’ve made for me and millions, maybe even billions of other people! ❤❤❤❤❤
This shows me that he could easily have been the voice for the film, he's a very good actor and I know he could have just toned it down a bit to make it easy to listen to for an hour and half.
I came here to recover
This is gonna be the plot for the new Mario movie
8:04 *_So long, King Bowser_*
And this man couldn't just voice Mario in the movie beeeeecaaaaaaaauuuuse?
Because celebrity voices = more money. Now I do like Jack Black as Bowser but Chris Pratt as Mario is a no for me. Charles should have gotten the role in the first place but you know, Hollywood 🥴 he should have been casted as both Mario and Luigi but sadly I guess Hollywood doesn't care about actual voice actors. (Chris Pratt was good in the Lego Movie though) but he shouldn't have been casted as Mario of he can't do the voice 😒
I love how he just goes and gives Paarthurnax's voice to Bowser
Show this to anyone who says he wouldn't have been amazing as Mario in the movie.
You do realize he’s not acting he’s just reading a book using a different voice
It's enough to make a grown man cry.
Mario's Peach impression gives me life.
Mario's Peach impression sounds like how Mario's mom would sound.
Lol! When you say that, you make me think of sesame Street start to read book and videos where big bird is reading the book and he sounds like trying to do a Grover impression and sounds like himself even though he tries to sound like grover. His impression of Grover makes me think of one of those bad phone taps where they tried to do a Yoda or Grover impression and it sounds like crap. But I feel like Mario doing peach would sound a lot better than big bird doing grover. Lol!
I feel like Mario doing female characters makes me think of when Seth MacFarlane did all the characters in family guy. I have not watched the whole video of this yet but I'm sure that's probably what it would sound like. Or not what it would sound like per se but what it would remind me of.
timestamp?
Mario ate mushrooms from a sewer....
Ew
Jordan Benton Guess there was stool in that toadstool, no?... OK😔
Hes doing shrooms
Oooh. Very scary!
Don't worry, those are Super Mushrooms!
This is the same guy who puts pickles on top of his Italian ice.
I’m personally fine with Chris voicing Mario in the movie, but this video is proof that Charles could do this voice for a hour and thirty minutes!
Now I know what mario sounds like when he's speaking full sentences.
Also in Mario Teaches Typing 2.
This is pretty much how Mario could've sounded if Charles got a chance to voice him in the movie damnit
Just think, we could have had this guy be Mario for a full 90 minutes.😢
Right? It'd be really jarring
@@ATthemusician on the contrary, would be awesome as heck
@@ATthemusician L Chris Pratt Stan
@@FrankRizzo333 I think Chris Pratt's Mario is pretty bad, but I also don't want an hour of Martinet's headache-inducing falsetto
@@AbandonedVoid Do you think Mario would just speak non-stop? He probably has 20-30 minutes of lines total. Even that is probably more than the amount Mario will actually talk.
Also, I’m sure Charles can tone down the falsetto a bit if it’s really that grating.
Hmmm. The movie doesn't seem like they're portraying Mario as a goofy caricature, but instead, as a person that could possibly exist in real life. Martinet's interpretation definitely won't work in the direction they're taking Mario in the movie.
I own this book. He signed it and I bought it later that evening
Would be funny if they had also invited Samantha Kelly (Princess Peach) and Kenny James (Bowser) to voice their respective characters in Charles Martinet's story time.
I'd rather listen to this Mario than Chris Pratt doing whatever the hell he is doing in that trailer.
Even in a full length movie?
I’d even take the Mario Super Show voice over Chris Rat.
He barely spoke four words
@@Andreas32300 Specially in a full length movie, it's not like he'll be reading a monologue the whole time.
@@TheDomainGPCE And that was barely four words too much.
OMG I used to have that book when I was little! Such a treat to hear it read by Mario himself!
I too had a copy of this book... or my family did at least, and probably still does
Mario, expert plumber and mycologist.
It’s a real shame that in-game, Charles only gets to voice the Mario Bros. through simple noises and small words and not through full sentences like here.
And people will still argue that he can't do this for a whole movie?
You do realize he’s not acting he’s just reading a book using a different voice
They're not real Mario fans if they have the audacity to disrespect Charles Martinet Mario voice.
@@WakerOfTheCryingRain you realize he’s not acting, he’s just acting
Keep in mind this is a 9-year-old video...
Magic Fire Flower shoot out fires instead of giving Mario Bros. a fire power...
Anyone reminds you of Super Smash Bros. series?
Maybe that's where Sakurai got the idea.
Yep
Bit weird that. I've never been a fan of those portrayals.
Funny how that works out.
In reality you just eat the head of the flower and you become a fire god.
As Charles Martinet himself said, "It's-a perfect. Wahoo!"
Chris Pratt did an amazing job on voicing Mario, but Charles Martinet is still on my heart and never forget him.
Nintendo doesn't deserve Charles
Charles Martinet is too sweet! =D I can't wait to meet him at Montréal Comiccon next weekend!
Nico Neko
Yo how did it go?
Did you meet him?
I saw him last summer at Wisconsin Comic-con
Too much after Bowser's Laugh in SM64, now finally we heard Charles as Bowser talking!
for all those people saying Charles martinet cant do full mario and luigi sentences for the mario movie.....this proves otherwise!
To be fair, this was only nine minutes, and Charles Martinet voices both of them. So for this to work, he would need to continuously voice them both for a little over an hour. He's also like 67 years old, so it might be a strain on his voice. Not saying that Chris Pratt was an amazing voice, but an hour of full sentences for both brothers sounds like it could be a strain on his voice.
Cry harder
You do realize he’s not acting he’s just reading a book using a different voice
@@JacobGaming2016 it wont work
@@17jacoyne cry harder
Imagine using this as an audiobook! It's so amazing!
The funny thing is with that particular book; it was an audio book; with Lou Albano and Danny Wells doing the voices of Mario and Luigi respectively. Those two did the Mario Bros. voices during the Super Mario Bros. cartoon
@@GreenFenril oh those books on cassette tapes?
I had a few of the Disney ones
"ThIs WoUlD gEt AnNoYiNg FaSttrttTtt"
This just a story book
But understandable
@@muguiwaranoboy2542 but in a story book audio the narrator is always speaking in a calm tone unless they’re imitating a person’s voice as described in the book. In a movie it’s different since there’s visuals they gotta match their expression and voices with at the same time. It is different.
@@aflores0414 i know that why I don't really understand why people want Charles this much
Mario straight up ate sewage mushroom.
I’ll miss Charles
That's right... Once upon a time, Mario and Luigi were New Yorkers who got trapped in the Mushroom Kingdom... I'd forgotten about that...
Thebluedud born in the mushroom kingdom and grew up in brooklyn
Nintendo pretty much dropped that backstory with Yoshi's Island and since then, they have never address Mario and Luigi to originate from Brooklyn at all. Now there's New Donk City but Nintendo hasn't clarified if Mario and Luigi grow up there.
@@Wylldenick Then again, for all we know Mario and Luigi's parents could have moved to Brooklyn after the Yoshi's Island games. Until Nintendo and/or Mr. Miyamoto says otherwise it is 100% pure speculation.
@@nils920 There's no evidence Brooklyn even exists in the current Mario lore anymore, moreover, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time makes it very clear they stayed in the Mushroom Kingdom and never leave it. Again, now that we have New Donk City, which has been retconned as the place where the original Donkey Kong arcade took place so if we were to asume Mario and Luigi lived in an urban metropolis, it has to be New Donk City and they never did some sort of alternate travel bs as the old lore did.
It's a old forgotten back story.
I had this book as a child, I completely forgot about it and the second they showed the cover on screen I had a gd flashback
So the book came out in 1990... that wasn't to tie in with the US release of Super Mario Bros. 3, was it?
BTW, Charles should read books about Wario and Waluigi in their voices, too! :D
Andrew Schroy Omg yes
IF THERE WAS ANY WITH WALUIGI
@@undoneonion90 There are comics with Wario in them, that's close enough.
I want to know who voiced E3 Wario.
@SuperHankinsBros I meant the puppet one.
1:08 the way he says "the warp zone" sounds a lot like "Marios Tunnel of Doom"
I love hearing the bros. talk! Charles will always be the true Mario and Luigi in my heart.
At this point, ive seen so much of Mario talking that it doesn't strike me as incredible like it used to.
I wanna see the current voice of Link talk. I don't even care if its in Japanese.
#ExcuseMePrincess
here's something close.... I think th-cam.com/video/hHgKmJui4PU/w-d-xo.html
The Gray Ghost 24
Thx
Now i need something more modern
close is right. Miyamoto has said that he insists that Link remain a silent protagonist.
Fuck that shit line from that shit Legend of Zelda cartoon from the 80s.
I was the 69th like
The story of retirement 😢

Someone should've added this to Martinet's portfolio for the Mario movie
Scientists need to find a way to make Charles Martinet immortal
this is what we could’ve had
now this is Mario.
It's so weird hearing Charles Martinet's Mario talking about Brooklyn and plumbing.
Martinet should have voiced Mario on the new movie. This dialogue sounds so good!
Huh I'm able to listen to Mario's voice for an extended time and my ears aren't bleeding and I haven't gone deaf.
Weird! It's almost like this voice would be fine for the movie and they'd probably get him to tone it down a notch or two.
This proves they could've used him for the mario movie
Too bad!
They replaced him with Chris Patt
Which is a great actor but feels soo disrespectful and a slap to the face for Charles.
They could but they use Chris Pratt for whatever reason which I guess it's money, I wish Mario Movie will flop so bad.
@@bhirawamaylana466 but then we’d get stuck w illumination not trying anymore
@@bhirawamaylana466 cope
It'sa me. A mario.
6:58 everyone: awwww
Me: awww so sweet
THIS is what Mario should've sounded like in the movie
It’s scary how accurate this is to the movie so far
What's scary about it?
8:47
The book: "Be quiet." said Mario
Charles: "Be quiet." said *LUIGI*
He was kinda in a hurry.
I feel like the Mario Bros movie was loosely based off this book.
I think Charles may have a few questions about the book
Charles's Bowser/King Koopa voice is awesome! :D he should voice in the games.
ClassicSonicSatAm I would like the older voice from the TV shows to come back...
SarcastTM Aw man, I had no idea. Kind-of funny that the voice actors for both Bowser and Dr. Robotnik in the old DiC cartoons have died, but not the heroes.
@@daseal1479 Lou Albano and Danny Wells passed a while ago. I think the only actor still alive from that era is John Leguizamo (if you count the movie, anyway).
Fun fact, he actually did voice bowser's laugh in super Mario 64. He worked for Warner bros cartoon sound effects/voice acting years prior and then when super Mario 64 was in the making, they had access to Warner bros sound library and coincidentally used Charle's laugh but slowed down and lowered.
Bowser's current voice actor is Kenny James
He could've easily been mario for the movie 😔
This is probably the Super Mario Bros Movie plot
TH-cam recommended me this after his retirement as Mario and I thank the algorithm for this video and it made me tear up, thanks Charles and thank you so much for letting me play your games
"A long, long time ago (sometime last Monday)"
Somehow this is perfect already, and that isn't taking into account who's reading. I don't know if I could score it a 20/10
Imagine if there was an audio book of The Bible with Charles Martinet as Mario!
Christianity rate rises to 100%
In all seriousness, I'm not even Christian and I'd listen to that audiobook!
This proves movie Mario could have his original voice
To the person who’s speaking in the background while Charles is speaking…
_how dare you_
