Anyone who considers them self a fan of Nintendo absolutely must know who Charles Martinet is. He has been entertaining us for years as the voice of Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi and many other assorted characters in the Mario universe. Recently in an interview with the man himself, he expressed how he'd love to voice Mario if Nintendo were to ever make another animated TV show based on the plump plumber.

"I would absolutely love it, if they did that. I don’t anticipate that, though, because… Mr. Miyamoto is a genius, he really knows… not only the ins and outs of the entertainment value of Mario, and these characters that he creates… but he knows sort of what he wants to do with them. I don’t think he really wants to create a cartoon series for TV or other… DVDs, or that sort of thing, because the value for him is in the games… I think. You know, I can’t really speak for him. But you know, if he changes his mind and he says “You know something? I want to make a cartoon,” I’ll be jumping up and down."

Past cartoons based off of the Mario universe, such as the Super Mario Super Show and The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 didn't do particularly well, which is probably why Nintendo is daring not to venture down that road again. But if it ever happens again, we know that Mario will be voiced by his rightful voice actor.
