The first rips of these voice clips ever on RUclips! Fun fact: this game was the first ever time Charles Martinet (Mario's current voice actor) played Mario.
@@IAmComicallyCartoonyYKnow sorry late reply and you might know this now, but the last line charles said in the mario universe is "these are my boys!" ffrom mario's dad
Just when we thought Charles’ first portrayals were in the educational and video board games, it goes back further to a PINBALL MACHINE! Crazy how there’s all this stuff out there, just not organized or talked about much to where only a few handful know and have seen some of the most obscure and unique things ever.
Not sure whether it’s the audio compression or not but it’s so surreal to hear Charles Martinet do a lower pitched and heavier Italian accent for Mario. What makes it weirder is that his portrayal of Mario has been so consistent even as far back as the edutainment games, it makes me wonder what voice he did for the audition. If his voice for the audition was more similar to what he did here, why would Nintendo be enthusiastic to have him as *the* voice of Mario only to tell him to significantly change the voice?
The reason for that change in Mario's voice is that when Charles Martinet did the audition, the voice he did when he first auditioned wasn't even anything like this more lower pitch version you're hearing in the video, but a much more gruffer sounding voice more akin to his Brooklyn one in the old cartoons. Nintendo thought the voice sounded "too scary" at times and thought it might scare off children so they told Martinet to make the voice a tad higher to make the character sound more friendlier. I guess from that point on, Martinet himself made the decision to go even higher on his own as his way of embodying the character more and making Mario more child-like and whimsical, which was the goal, I'm sure.
@@briannawilson8845I'd heard it was Charles _himself_ who had made the call that the original voice might be a bit rough for a kids' character. Fun fact, though, you can actually hear a bit of the Brooklyn accent leak through in the "I'm just about outta time" voice clip!
I wonder if this was the voice that the people at Charle's original audition heard, that made them accept him. Or, if it is still more refined than that, as it truly is primitive here.
Thanks for everything Charles. This is his first notable role, but its just so sad to see him let go from his career. (Not completeley as he is Mario Ambassador, but still...)
(*sighs*) Once again, Miyamoto claims Charles started voicing Mario in 1996 in Charles’s retirement announcement. What a lost opportunity to come out and say he’s been voicing Mario long before the N64. 😑
To be fair perhaps he's not aware of it since the stuff Charles Mario voice in before Mario 64 were only in the west and not japan, heck the Original Mario 64 Japanese release even lacked certain Mario lines, then again Nintendo like to pretend certain Mario content don't exist, like Mario Galaxy 2 or even Super Mario 3D-All Stars for that matter...
It's crazy to think Charles Martinet started voice acting Mario with this pinball machine and now he's finally retiring from voice acting with Super Mario Bros Wonder likely being the last Mario game to feature his voice. 30 years of voice acting Mario.
@@mrfox9090 if you listen closely it's just not him, you can actually hear more voice lines in the Japanese nintendo direct and you can hear that its definitely someone younger voicing mario
For people who have a hard time believing this to be Charles, this is very much the same voice Charles used during those early '90s Real Time Mario presentations. Presumably, Mario's voice went higher-pitched because Nintendo thought Mario should sound more exuberant. Martinet's first take on Wario was also different compared to the voice we usually think of.
I think a lot of the change was just Charles getting more into the groove and solidifying his portrayals. For example, Waluigi's debut in Mario Tennis 64 has him sounding a bit like the Waluigi we know, but deeper in tone and far less exaggerated (he was played by Charles from day 1). There's also Ryan Drummond's first time as Sonic in Sonic Adventure, as well as Jason Griffith's debut as the character at the beginning of Sonic X; both of which sound _very_ different from when they solidified their portrayals of the character.
It wasn't always Charles doing those, though. There was another guy named Stevie Coyle, they'd switch every now and then. This sounds a bit closer to Coyle's voice.
@@GuyWithThePie it's been confirmed by the game director of the pinball game that stevie coyle did do the voice of mario for this game. when you compare it to a may 92 mario performance Charles did, it doesn't sound alike at all, with Charles performance sounding pretty close to the Mario voice we all know
@@tapiocattundra Where was this posted? EDIT: Found the source, it was an email from the game's composer on the MarioWiki page for the pinball table. Turns out it was actually not Coyle either, but another guy named Craig Brolley.
wow Mario sounded a lot different before Mario 64. In this pinball game, his iconic slightly high pitched Italian accent isn’t even as noticeable as it is in other games after this one.
I came here to double confirm on Charles Martinet's game since Level Up Animation showed me Mario's FUNdamentals "That's a good move", I thought that was his first video game, but the Pinball game was his real first game but uncredited.
I have a theory to how these sounds were ripped: Someone probably had one of these machines on Ebay for a high price and then somebody bought it. Eventually someone found a way to access the files and eventually get the sounds ripped out of it.
@@MarioGamer2008 Check the MarioWiki- I asked the casting director for the game directly. No sourcable evidence of Charles saying this still exists, only accounts from other people- I have a direct screenshot from the game's developers.
@AndratVO he literally said that he did the voice for mario there he said he wasn't paid and went uncredited alot of people asked him this and he said the same thing he voiced mario in that wasn't paid yet still used his voice lines and went uncredited
@AndratVO charles voiced mario in the pinball machine yes he literally stated this before years ago he was unpaid and uncredited this came right of the man's own mouth lol why would he be lying
And I thought Mario's FUNdamentals was the first game, in fact it's my (As a kid) first Mario game feature his voice except I did not know who Martinet is back then, he was in front of me in plain sight.
Nah, that's him; he confirmed so. It makes sense, tbh, as this is the happy-go-lucky Italian accent he stated to give to make Mario more approachable to children. Thing is, while this is really different from his voice today, you can definitely tell it's still Charles; he sounds here just the way he did in Super Punch Out
i kinda prefer charles old mario voice i think its fits him a little bit more then the mordan mario voice hes been doing since 1995 the old charles mario voice isnt to high pitch this early voice of charles is is a little bit lower so yeah this version of mario doesnt have a insanely high pitch voice if charles was chosen to voice mario in the mario movie (sadly wasnt :c) i would love to see him bring back his early sounding mario instead of is his super sonic high pitch mario voice but i would watch the mario movie if he still did the mordan mario voice it would still be cool but 0:31 makes me wish mario had this voice lol
Do you happen to have the rest of the voices? This pinball machine also has Peach speaking and it is eerily close to the Samantha Kelly/Jen Taylor Peach voice, although that would be impossible since she never had that voice until 2000.
Charles Martinet always rolls his r's when performing Mario and Luigi. Additionally the timbre of this VA' voice and the way he pronounces things like bumper is drastically different from Charles. While similar in spirit, to the untrained ear, this is not him.
I ripped these a while back from a rom of the table by recording them directly from the rom. How'd you do it? They sound a bit high pitched. Also, the burp and laugh are Mario surprisingly. You can tell because he lights up on the backglass when those sounds play.
According to other sources, which I can show you upon request, it is indeed him. (Not going to upload exact links of said sources, because of RUclips shadow banning comments with links.)
70% chance if Charles Martinet is asked about this he'll probably say something weird or deny it. Like he did with the so ein mist thing (taking credit from Thomas Spindler and providing false information) or the "so long king-a Bowser" (the "king-a" part can't even be heard in high quality audio)
Really? Kinda bizarre he would do that. I guess he can chalk it up to just misremembering. He talks mostly in one sentence phrases a few times per game, so it would be easy to mix them up.
@@blueyosh43 in the Japanese version of Mario kart 64 (also in every version of Mario party 1 and 2 and Mario kart super circuit) Wario is voiced by Nintendos German translator at the time Thomas Spindler. He says a line that has often been confused as "doh I missed" when he actually saying German phrase "so ein mist" which in English means aww crap or similar. This was because according to Thomas Spindler Wario was originally considered to be German instead of Italian (as how Charles portrays him) by Nintendo. Charles was asked about Wario years ago saying he hadn't heard of it which was a fine response but recently he's providing false information and taking credit from Thomas saying he is the only voice of Wario and that hes actually saying "doh I missed" which 1. Doesn't make sense in the context of it being used (getting hit by a Koopa shell in Mario kart) 2. I've listened to the voice clip in better quality slowed down and it is clearly "so ein mist" 3. Doesn't make sense why Nintendo to hire him twice for same game for the same one character just to do different lines and a different voice.
Sadly he’s retiring, it was a fun ride. He will always be Mario in our hearts.
Came here just because of this 😭
He was the best Mario for sure!
@@NintenDylan64691he was THE mario
@@Karnage233 That's what I said.
@@NintenDylan64691 you said best, he just is mario, there’s no competition 😊
Thanks to this game, we can now confirm that Mario's first official line is “More money, please!”
Timestamp?
i would think its "Wow!" and it ended with "Wahoo!" in the mario movie.
Poetic. Appropriate. Foreshadowing. Whatever you want to call it lol
@@IAmComicallyCartoonyYKnow sorry late reply and you might know this now, but the last line charles said in the mario universe is "these are my boys!" ffrom mario's dad

This doesn't sound anything like Charles though
@@WigWoo1 It may not sound like Martinet, but it's a dang good impersonation.
@@robbiewalker2831 It couldn't have been an impersonation because he hadn't done any voicework for Mario before this.

0:24 the weird kid in class telling everyone about his “special talent”
im jealous how the fuck
Holy shit Nintendo make up your mind when did Charles Martinet first voice Mario?
They seem to be completely adamant that it was Mario 64 but we all know the truth
He's been doing the Mario for years
I love this pinball machine! The layout is so well done it feels like a Mario game while keeping the same feel as a Gottlieb table.
I wonder if this was the voice that the people at Charle's original audition heard, that made them accept him. Or, if it is still more refined than that, as it truly is primitive here.
Thanks for everything mr Martinet. Your voice will be in my dreams forever
Wow he sounds so weird, but it's still clearly charles
Man, I thought it was some guy trying to impersonating Mario's voice... But look, this is what the old Charles Martinet's Mario voice sounds like!
Thanks for everything Charles.
This is his first notable role, but its just so sad to see him let go from his career. (Not completeley as he is Mario Ambassador, but still...)
Sounds like Super Mario Advance's voice clips quality.

Charles Martinet’s first role as Mario.
I’ve been waiting for someone to rip these from the game. Thanks so much for uploading these.
That voice sounds so much more different than Martinet's newer outings. Very impressive.
I visited an arcade that had this pinball machine not too long ago. Pretty cool.
I’ve played on this pinball machine before as my local retro game store has one. It’s really neat to see these clips have been extracted
