Here&#8217;s exactly what he had to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI got to improvise a song in \u2018Super Mario Bros.,\u2019 which was an absolute blast. That was just a stick of fun, that whole thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI was working on the voice with my partner and trying to find the voice through the internal journey of the character. And then with the directors [Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic], we sprinkled some things in, we moved it around.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Speaking a bit more about Toad&#8217;s voice, Key mentioned how he&#8217;s &#8220;really happy&#8221; with the end result:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThere was something about the timbre. I wanted it higher and higher and higher. And that\u2019s where we ended up, and I\u2019m really happy with where we ended up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>For Bowser, Jack Black has channelled his own &#8220;heavy metal roots&#8221; &#8211; further mentioning in a previous interview how he did &#8220;a little bit of rocking&#8221;:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>&#8220;Well, you know, I did bring some of my heavy metal roots because \u2014 in a way \u2014 Bowser is kind of like a heavy metal rockstar. You know, a big, strong, and scary rock star. And I did a little bit of rocking. I think you&#8217;ll be surprised to see that Bowser has a musical side. I&#8217;m thinking after the movie comes out I&#8217;m taking it to Broadway, there might be a one-man show.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mario&#8217;s new movie launches in cinemas next year on April 7th.
