When Chris Pratt was cast for the role of the plucky plumber from Brooklyn, it was met with some resistance. Fans are mixed with their reactions to Chris Pratt's voice compared to Charles Martinet, the iconic Mario voice actor since the 1990s. In fact, Charles Martinet is recognized by the Guinness World Records for providing the voice for a single video game character the most number of times as Mario. He would later voice Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Metal Mario, Shadow Mario, and a host of other Mario related characters. Instead, Martinet’s true official debut as Mario was in Super Mario 64 (1996) for the Nintendo 64. While the Super Nintendo Entertainment System ( SNES) could incorporate short digitized voice clips, this never happened during its run. Martinet would later voice Mario in the actual games. Martinet has been voicing Mario since the 1990s in trade shows and interestingly, a pinball machine in 1992. The veteran actor has lended his voice to not just Mario, but also his brother Luigi.
