Update:<\/strong> In a statement made to both IGN<\/a> and Eurogamer<\/a>, Nintendo has confirmed that Charles Martinet is not in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. That means both Mario and Luigi are voiced by a brand new voice actor in the upcoming platformer.<\/p>\n

Nintendo told both publications that “… while Charles is not involved in the game, we’re excited to honour his legacy and contributions, including looking ahead to what he’ll be doing as a Mario Ambassador… Character voice actors for Mario and\/or Luigi in Super Mario Bros. Wonder will be credited in the game credits, so please wait for the game to be released.”<\/p>\n

We’ll have to wait until 20th October to find out who has taken up the moustache.<\/p>\n

Original article:<\/strong> Charles Martinet \u2014 the legendary voice of Mario, who made his mainline debut as the plumber in Super Mario 64<\/a> \u2014 is stepping back from the microphone and will no longer be recording his voice for Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, and many other characters.<\/p>\n

Nintendo made the announcement on Twitter today, confirming that the iconic voice actor will be “stepping back from recording character voices from our games”. But don’t worry, as Martinet won’t be stepping away from Mario entirely. Nintendo has created a brand new role for the actor: Mario Ambassador.<\/p>\n
