Mario’s New Voice Actor May Have Been Revealed Thanks To A Hacked Demo
1 min readMario will have a new voice actor in the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and the internet thinks it has finally deduced who it (possibly) is–Mick Wingert.
Back in August, Nintendo confirmed fan speculation that longtime Mario voice actor Charles Martinet would not be voicing the character in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Martinet instead would be transitioning into a new role as a “Mario ambassador,” where he will travel the world to interact with fans. However, despite Nintendo announcing Martinet’s departure, it didn’t reveal who would be taking up the Mario mantle in his place, leaving fans to wildly speculate.
That brings us to today. Via Video Games Chronicle, a datamined list of voice actors allegedly from a hacked kiosk demo of Super Mario Bros. Wonder intended for US retail stores has made its way online. Though anyone can post anything on the internet and claim it to be true, the original poster did attach screenshots for previously unseen levels from World 1 of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, lending the list of datamined voice actors an air of authenticity.
