The new voice actor behind Mario Super Mario Bros. Miracle is also the new voice of Wario WarioWare: Move it!, Nintendo has confirmed. Voice actor Kevin Afghani has taken over from Charles Martinet in the roles of Mario and Luigi and now Wario.
Afghani’s name appears in the end credits of WarioWare: Move it!but like Super Mario Bros. Miracle, those credits are vague about which voice actors play which roles. And just like the new Super Mario Bros. Switch game, the latest WarioWare game features playable credits — it’s very easy to mention the names of everyone who worked on it Move it!including Afghan.
Nintendo announced in August that Martinet would no longer serve as the recognizable voice of Mario, Wario and other characters, starting with Super Mario Bros. Miracle. Martinet, the voice of Mario for decades, would instead transition to a new role, “Mario Ambassador,” whose duties include “traveling the world and sharing the joy of Mario.”
Mario fans first noticed different voices for Mario and Wario in trailers Super Mario Bros. Miracle And WarioWare: Move it! released this summer. But Nintendo was reluctant to confirm the new voices of Mario, Luigi, Wario and other Mushroom Kingdom characters until those games launched on Switch this fall.
