[@DeriumsCCGs]

Good God, this guy seems like the nicest person ever.

[@Kirbygirl99]

He sure looks like one!

[@tronnorth726]

If he was fat or ugly looking you wouldn't say that lol

[@LoekTheKing]

+Tron North You don't know that.

[@thesmartestidiot8707]

Tron North ugly no fat yea

[@TheOneWifNoUsername]

Just a Channel he is!! I met him in person today! And I saw him wandering around the convention admiring people's booths and costumes. He was sooo sweet.

[@Graphomite]

Imagine if Mario's catchphrase wasn't _"It'sa me, Mario!"_ but rather, _"Howya doin, ahm unda ya sink!"_

[@garbanzomeatball4993]

LOL How about "All toasters toast toast" That's a reference

[@Graphomite]

Yes. Yes it is.

[@robhuanout5443]

+BongaFish i prefer the latter

[@Graphomite]

marleymation ltd It'll happen. Just wait for the next Super Mario movie.

[@Alexis.Pineda]

Can't believe that Mario did the voice for Charles!

31 337 why are you such an idiot

[@trevorgonzalez2616]

Why is everybody talking about this man dying he's only 61 this year.

[@spavatch]

It's December 28th, 2016. Read your statement again putting an emphasis on his age. It doesn't seem so unlikely, does it? :(

[@trevorgonzalez2616]

spavatch I guess not, there's an invisible pandemic this year. Especially with Carrie Fisher passing away today, God... 2016 just had to strike one last time.

[@Goombahhhh]

2016 has been a slow, hard kick to the crotch..

[@palomaharper2810]

He looks a lot older!! In the tapes it looks like he's been gray since his 40's though so maybe it's just the hair

[@canadianbuddha9230]

Paloma Harper he must have dyed it a long time ago, or maybe it's just a genetic thing. If you know the guy from CNN, Anderson Cooper, his hair naturally turned white when he was in his mid twenties.

[@NoisyBones]

Look at how passionate he is, he goes right into BEING the characters, he doesn't care it he looks like a nut, he's having fun and fucking nailing it

[@defectzim]

He's really and truly an amazing person.

[@youtubeuser84848]

+Wendigo Nasty yeah he doesnt care cus he's famous as fuck, why would he care -_-

[@NoisyBones]

Pesco I think the only reason he got famous is because he didn't care and just gave the character his all

[@Supermegurwolf]

+Pesco "Whenever ANYONE becomes famous, they ALWAYS become greedy! I know it because I saw it in every movie ever!"

I agree, I'm watching this while watching and laughing when I hear Mario's voice :)

[@ShadyGabe]

@@DeadRaymanWalking I met him at Collect-A-Thon in LA on March 9th. At the end, he said "thank you so much for to playing my games!" Tears were in my eyes the whole time, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't starstruck. Felt really good telling him that Super Mario Bros. was my first game (even though he wasn't there yet, it still felt good telling Mario himself).

[@MrVince329]

I got to meet him in person at Fan Expo yesterday. Amazing man, very fun guy.

[@magicmayro]

No Way, REALLY!? Mario is my favorite video game character. My icon says so too. Lel

[@OneCalledRPG]

Yeah, dude. I met him sometime last year at Comic Con. He does go to these things. I just didn't know he was at a convention THAT recently.

no because he is so much better than Robin

[@andrewalexander4331]

[@polrealfake]

David-Lee-Goth Yeah! What if someone told *you* that, huh? Yeah, exactly.

[@inmortalwaffle101]

Rinku Starr I mean if they were able to give bowser and peach voices in super mario sunshine. Then why can't mario have a voice too? Tough I'm worried in the process of doing so... many people are gonna bitch saying mario should have just stayed as a silent protagonist like link. Because apperantly people have a promblem when a character start to look like he/she is developing some sort of personality. Tough! It'd be a nice experiment to try. I'd have no promblem. I wanted mario to speak since super mario 64 out of curiosity. 

[@KeiichiO]

Rosalina - Princess of the Cosmos A lot of people seemed to dislike the voice acting in Mario Sunshine, which is weird. Sure, it wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad either. I'd definitely like to see more character development in Mario, and Zelda games, though, you're right. People would bitch non-stop if that were to happen.

[@inmortalwaffle101]

Rinku Starr I really like link personality in skyward sword tough. He may not have talked. But you could figure out what kind of guy he was. I tought it'd be a neat idea to have gave him a voice in that game. I would've probably loved it. Maybe they will give them voices in the future just to see what the audience thinks. Maybe I could be wrong about the bitching and they'll end up loving it. We'll see~

[@Kurigamesalot1988]

This guy saves my childhood over and over again with his mario impressions as well as his other characters. So awesome man!

[@whamkait]

Fun fact: Did you know, Charles Martinent also does the voice of Paarthurnax from Skyrim?

[@TrudleR]

Really? If they really paid for Charles voice, they wouldn't have edited the voice per computer, otherwise it would be a big joke. Can Martinent really speak this "deep"?

[@DeadwingDork]

Who cares about Skyrim? He played Rokkaku in Jet Set Radio Future. SEND IN THE EXPERIMENTAL WEAPON

[@CrispyChicken44]

That's a dumb question, Duck. A lot of people actually care for Skyrim, just because you don't doesn't mean you can just put your opinion over millions of fans. The point is, Charles is very talented indeed, as well as a very nice guy.

[@DeadwingDork]

Pro tip #1: don't take every KZbin comment you read so seriously. Pro tip #2: Morrowind is objectively superior.

[@TrudleR]

Morrowind is shit if you ask me. I think, just nostalgic people can like it. The combat system is REALLY dumb and you have to read a lot of the conversations (random damage, most of the time 0 even if you clearly hit the target). I'm a big fan of the Gothic series (altough I hated the 3rd part) and I'm also playing Gothic 1 and 2 today. But I can't really share my feelings with other people who are new to it. They like Gothic 3 very much (wtf) and don't like the first two parts. The games are really great, but they need a lot of time to understand the mechanics. You normally can walk everywhere but at the starting point you're not able to defeat orcs or something. In Skyrim there aren't real enemys and that's what people nowadays look for. You can defeat any enemy directly from the beginning and that is, what's imporant. Gothic 2 has the best combat system (beside Atmosphere and stuff) I've ever met, but in the forums I just find the old players from back then, who still are playing&modding it. Compared to today games I understand, that people don't have the time to start a game like this from scratch and get pissed of very fast. I also started to play Morrowin very late because I read/heard so much good things about it, but I never understand the athmosphere people were talking about. What I love about gothic, is that the played character speaks also and you don't see any papers with the written responses. In the Elder Scrolls, it's much more sterile. You click what you want to say and it's instantly said. There is no real dialog between the characters and they don't gesticulate with each other. Of course Morrowind would be a great game, but it's too outdated for me (not the graphics, but the game mechanics and all this stuff) and I think this is also the reason, why gothic hardly find new players. PS: If you want to start this game, start with part one, because you meet a lot of people from there in Part 2 and the story from part 1 really influences the world in part 2.

[@TheSuperSaturos]

Elyes Sellami Well, when it comes to fun, gameplay and sometimes plot, I think Nintendo is better. FPS games are always more of the same: shoot the bad guys, shoot the opposite team, shoot, shoot and shoot. FPS is not a genre that gets you surprised.

[@HowDoIDad]

This was the sweetest interview I have ever seen. I will try to approach life with Mario's enthusiasm. But I will ABSOLUTELY respond to mistakes with a Waluigi "eeeeehhhhhhh!"

Charles Martinet is such a happy, great man. I don't think he has realized how many people he has touched for over 20 years. I mean kids have grew up hearing his voice for ages. He's a timeless legend. I hope I get to meet him before I become worm chow. I'd probably cry just like if I met Jaleel White too but still. Great man and great actor!

[@ΓιάννηςΟικονόμου-ι1δ]

It'sa me, Mario! And Wario! (???) (blows raspberry) L-L-L-L-Luigi too, Ma-Ma-Ma-Maaariooo! And Waluigi, WAAAA! And Baby Luigi! And Baby Mario! Wahoo!

When people are raging over video games and threatening to kill one another, they need to watch this video and be educated in what video games are all about.

[@turtlemansgametime8564]

i agree, but sometimes when i play mario party, i just wanna get up and punch my friend in the face when i lose, everyone does

[@AdventuresByKyssa]

1:02 Still a classic line and I laugh every time he says that. The irony is, that "stereotypical Italian" voice would become Wario
