    The fact that, in the video itself, he did the voices perfectly shows that he wanted to leave on his own accord and that Nintendo didn't push him out of the role. They love and cherish him as we all do and thankfully none of those previous speculations had any merit. Hope you're having an amazing time in your new role, Charles!

      How? The man barely has to do any work at all he has like 15 words per game and less than that. They are 100% forcing him out. Since the mario movie came out and was such a success they now needed a voice that is universal with all the new mario show crap they are going to he dumping out on the public. They didn't want a movie mario and a game mario. And as much as everybody liked his voice it doesn't work for extended storys. If the mario movie was a flop this guy would still he voicing mario.

      At any rate, it's clear the guy just wants people to be happy, so it's probably not worth getting worked up over unless something comes out. He's still gonna work with Nintendo so it seems relations are still amicable to some degree at least.
