Makes sense for the character through. He’s taller than Mario and jumps higher If he wasn’t naturally timid, he should otherwise have as much of more confidence than Mario going into fights, but he always plays second. A retcon, but a sensible one imo.

[@matthewlaird4009]

It would not work well having Mario as the face for the franchise being brave and also having Luigi trying to match that, I'm sure they had no plans to even make Luigi they just needed a colour swap to identify the second player in super mario bros, probably came up with the name on the spot because it made sense for them to be brothers since they just wanted to change the colour.. DokiDoki Mario 2 by chance made him an important character and they sure struck gold since it helped to make it a franchise. Like imagine they drop Luigi after the two Japanese games it's wild to me how important the American Mario 2 was because it cemented that the franchise would sell in America, probably the most important video game for Nintendo because they have continued the character designs for Peach Luigi and Toad in all games based off a re-skin.

Nah, Luigi had already had the shy/timid personality as far back as the old Mario cartoons and comics.

Sad thing is we've already had a personality for Luigi going back to the late 1980s with the initial cartoon show that had a live action portion which further expanded on luigi`s personality in 1990 with Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon show. So charles coming up with his weird horrible sounding Mario and Luigi voices in Late 1996 was an abortion of the franchise for those of us that grew up with hearing Mario and Luigi from 1989 - 1990 with 91 episodes being produced between the two shows.

It sounds like luigi doing a Toad impression

[@idrinksandwiches]

i talked to charles at fan expo and he said that he voiced luigi for every single game and no one else voiced him

[@BronzeAgePepper]

he's too old and not an actual game history buff to know the ONE time someone else had recorded Luigi's voice at the time Mario Kart 64 was being developed at the same time as Super Mario 64 was. and Nintendo didn't "decide" between Julien and Charles based just on "whatever they felt like" like the video says, they've always reused voice recordings whenever it's convenient for development time/budget constraints and that was the case for Mario Party 1 and 2 (and MK Super Circuit as well, no mention in the video of the characters' voices being recycled specifically from the Japanese version of MK64, with some clips that were probably from the same recording session that went unused for the N64 game).

[@annarenfold438]

I'd love to see Donkey Kong's voice. He's changed quite a lot, and I find it funny he now is voiced by the man who voiced Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time.

[@Mr.Tw1sty]

From demon king to monke

[@Panthers_prodzSSC]

Yeah

[@awakened_link1041]

That's definitely a good video suggestion; he goes from wild screeches in the 64 era to his current grunts and sounds to the more realistic gorilla noises they use for Smash.

It’s funny because the Mario movie from the 80s is two Italian dudes from Brooklyn with the accent and everything. It’s a really bad movie but low key so bad it’s entertaining.

@@clownfish92 I went to see it when it came out and I was pretty confused/annoyed at how the goombas etc were just big guys in suits, Yoshi was like the velociraptors in Jurassic Park. I wanted something more cartooney.

[@tylermakesvideos5972]

Charles killed the Luigi voice, way better than the Julien, Julien should’ve been toad

[@blur4504]

Tyler, the creator

[@-randomuser-4897]

Well, Julien himself said he wanted to be Toad instead of Luigi; he didn't chose to.

[@Ron-qg6bn]

agree

[@coltgun876]

That really does suck that he didn't get to voice Toad. I'm not sure why they didn't leave the desicion up to him I mean he literally wanted to voice Toad and not Luigi. Makes me kinda feel bad for Julien because he basically flew all the way to Japan just to be denied of that opportunity which would honestly piss me off if I were him. But what really bothers me is the fact that Koji Kondo himself said his voice was more suitable for Luigi. Ummmm... Idk about you but an Italian plumber from Brooklyn wouldn't ever sound like that in real life so I'm not sure how they thought this was a good idea.

[@sienile]

Julien would have made a great Toad. They should have let him do that.

[@cstick2664]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Super Smash Bros. Melee was a weird hybrid of the two voices. I believe the game used Charles' Mario voice clips but pitched them up to match Julian's portrayal. A weird relic of this 2 Luigi voices era.

[@FamiliarlyFrigid]

I find the slightly deeper voice in Mansion 3 to be quite cinematic, it’s like Charles was getting more in tune with the character over time (the first game IMO sounds like exaggeration of the voice to lend to how scared Luigi is)

There was a good while when Martinet would seemingly alternate from game to game whether to differentiate Luigi by making him high-pitched or low-pitched. The Mario and Luigi series does the former ("Go Weegee!") while his grunts in Super Paper Mario are pretty deep. But I guess nowadays it's not pitch at all that distinguishes him, it's the "wobble" to the voice.

[@Nerdtendo6366]

I’m so happy that Luigi went from the Player 2 character to having so much more personality and life compared to a lot of the other characters. Luigi will still always be my favorite character ever :)
