And considering how throat-aching that kind of voice is, it's something I give MAD props to. Well, except for Kelsey Hutchinson's take.

Charles does the same voice for both Wario, Luigi, Waluigi besides Mario for the English voices.

[@Shinzizzu]

Daisy sounds different too. I wouldn't be surprised if every character except Mario sounds different. Wario I think has had quite a bit of differences. I think he had a German voice actor for the first Mario Party which was really deep and then his voice in Mario Kart 64 is really high and whiney. They both sound very different from the voice I hear in smash ultimate.

[@lordpsi99]

Okay, Waluigi has had the same exact voice actor since his debut in Mario Tennis, Charles Martinet. I believe Luigi and Wario were Charles in Mario Kart 64 NA and possibly EU but not in Mario Kart 64 JP, Mario Party 1, or 2. Mario Golf might have been when Charles was given the roles for Luigi and Wario permanently. Wario is Charles in Mario Kart 64 NA and Charles in Smash Bros. His Wario and Waluigi has changed a bit over the years and Wario's voice seems to be much more dynamic in Smash, going much lower in places but still going high pitch in his up-special. Audio quality is much better from the GameCube onwards so the extra bandwidth picks up and delivers more frequencies from Charles' voices. The recording sessions for Brawl must have been exciting for Charles and the engineers and they really got a great performance. The session that was done for Wario Land 4, WarioWare and then Wario World was very tinny sounding on GBA but better on GameCube (World may have been a separate recording session except the "EXX-CELL-EH-ENT!" is definitely the same take between Land 4, Ware and World, actually maybe it didn't appear in Land 4 but Ware and World came out at the same time and they definitely both have it). I've spent a lot of time thinking about these three characters' voices because I absolutely love them! Luigi became Luigi as soon as Charles gave him that voice in Mario Kart 64 NA, same with Wario. Waluigi has been so hilarious because of everything that went into his character. I wish that Alphadream could have made a Wario & Waluigi RPG. That would have been perfect!

The answer is simple. Toad found drugs and almost always has a cigarette in his mouth unless he’s on camera. Just listen to that raspiness.

[@aquaticambience40]

Sad to see another childhood star go down that road 😔

[@vhfgamer]

Toad doesn't need drugs. He is drugs. He's literally just a walking talking shroom.

Mario kart 64 toad will forever be the best toad voice ever

I knew that Toad originally had a boy like voice in Wario’s Woods but I never knew that there was another Toad with a...umm.... interesting voice

[@DJSpang]

Him: "Green Toad has a unique set of phrases!" The Toad in question: "BREAKFAST!"

[@BassiKun99]

"He has such a way with words..."

[@anakin1082]

[@PJ-ib1no]

Toad:your princess is in another castle

[@Chaos_PlushShorts]

LMAO

[@taylorholloway7283]

My first time hearing Toad was in Super Mario Advance. I believe the line was, "Piece of cake!" But my brother and I would jokingly quote it as, "Eat some cake!"

[@Dan-do2pl]

Your lungs must be dying when voicing toad

[@amytheprettyweirdfangirl3786]

I love voice acting Peach and Toad for the fun of it, and can confirm, after a couple minutes, Toad DESTROYS your voice and it's hard to do Peach after ;w; MAD RESPECT to Jen Taylor and Samantha Kelly for recording these voices for hours I couldn't imagine... 0-0

[@Schwarzorn]

Lungs? No, just your throat/vocal-cords. No amount of water and honey can make that voice okay to perform. Lol

[@sonicfan6539]

No they don't when I do it they dont

[@LalitoTV]

Isaac's voice clips are surprisingly amazing There's something i really love about people accidentally getting a role and doing a pretty good job at it Ace attorney, anyone?

[@FalkorMusic]

My favorite Toad's voice is the one from Mario Party, to me that was the best and most fitting.

[@yoshisaurus234]

The first Mario Party? Yess. I love that one. Agree

[@5nbome114]

That "YEAH" is so nostalgic

[@StuckInTheMiddlewithYou]

[@awakened_link1041]

Game-show-voice Toad from Wario's Woods is best Toad voice. "HhyyyyeellooOoOoOoO"

I wonder if the audio was compressed when they played it. Like the gravel was literally from the audio being garbled and compressed.
