The new Mario actor for Super Mario Bros. Wonder has been revealed!
Super Mario Bros. Wonder's voice actor for Mario and Luigi has been revealed. There are few characters in all of fiction as iconic as Mario. The character has been around since the 80s and is one of the most immediately recognizable protagonists out there. He's short, dons a colorful outfit with a red hat and blue overalls, sports a bushy mustache, and has a very cute voice that fans have been imitating for years.
Longtime Mario voice actor Charles Martinet is stepping down from the role and will not be in the brand new game, Super Mario Bros. Wonder. This has left fans wondering who will take on the role from here and we have an answer, at least for the specific case of Wonder. Actor Kevin Afghani has confirmed on Twitter that he portrayed both Mario and Luigi in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
Incredibly proud to have voiced Mario and Luigi in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Thanks to Nintendo for inviting me into the Flower Kingdom! — Kevin Afghani October 13, 2023 Gamers are pretty notorious for being protective of characters and those who voice them. Metal Gear Solid V famously replaced longtime Solid Snake/Big Boss actor David Hayter with Hollywood actor Kiefer Sutherland which some fans didn't take too kindly. Granted, there were some narrative reasons for this and it did sound a great deal different from other versions of the character.
ComicBook.com got to go hands-on with Super Mario Bros. Wonder recently and came away feeling quite positively about it:"From our time with the game thus far, Super Mario Bros. Wonder seems to be paving a bold path forward for the 2D series. One of the things Nintendo struggled with in the New Super Mario Bros. games was deciding whether or not all of the characters should play the same, or if they should have different abilities .
