If they ever make another Smash game, Kevin will finally be able to make new voice clips for Mario, Luigi AND Wario. Even in new games it will sound so awesome
@@vexsladei don't think so, Smash saga actually ended with the last title. Not for nothing the last smash game had for title "Ultimate". That along with the fact that Sakurai already retired.
You can definitely hear his voice crack at times. There's obv room for improvement. But I really like his younger and more giddy (higher pitch) approach to Mario as a character. It'll be fun to hear this new guy develop and refine Mario's new voice!
Yeah I've seen a lot of people comparing Kevin's voice with Charles in a bad way, as if he "isn't at Charle's level" but they don't think about how a new voice actor can give so much more else for a voice/character
Charles gave all the templates, and so the new cast can move forward, thanks for all these years Charles. .he definitely gave life to these characters.
Chris Pratt’s Mario impression during the plumbing commercial was really good and his voice for the rest of the movie still fit really well. Not sure what you mean by much better
So much history behind Charles’ voice as mario…playing Mario in all our classic favorite games - from Mario 64 , mario party, to mario kart and everything in between. Definitely end of an era but excited to hear and see what’s next for our beloved plumber! 😢❤
you can hear his Mario break character when he laughs, man this sucks to see Charles go, why couldn’t he just retire after voicing wonder and Mario in the movie instead of his dad. I get he’s old but damn😂
@@blu6hes not THAT old lol. Hes 68 i think now. I feel like he wanted to enjoy watching someone else fullfill the role, its just the kind of guy he is.
Kevin did a great job in Wonder, looking forward to hearing more of his voice work. Charles will always be the OG and should of been the voice of Mario in the Movie.
While his voice still needs a little bit more time to get used to for me (more specifically his sentences like "Mario number one!"), I am still so happy that this is the voice we got. It could definitely be a LOT worse. I'd personally have the video compare his voice clips to the ones from Mario Kart 8 though. That's what Charles has sounded like in later Mario games such as Odyssey and is definitely what Kevin's voice is based off.
Considering Mario is confirmed to he in his 20s, it kinda makes sense for him to have a youthful sounding voice. And also matches his friendly personality.
I would never have expected or anticipated the new VC to sound exactly like Charles nor would I really want it to. Truth be told, Charles' voice for the characters changed over the years and undoubtedly Kevin nails them. This is without question Mario. He does such a great job I actually didn't even realize it was different until after I had heard it wasn't Charles. Fantastic work Kevin.
Agreed! The dude has been voicing Mario for ages which means he has more experience and tones for Mario, while this new VA struggles with some lines he definitely sounds more energetic and dosent completely have experience on voice acting with a character who barley speaks. I wished more people would back off and let the new va warm up to them a bit before they start insulting the poor dude. Definitely think this new voice actor has potential!
Honestly, I very much love the new va! While charles will always be the mario, luigi, wario, & waluigi of my childhood, the new va brings something... new, and I guess **wonderful** to the character with his difference in how certain iconic voice clips are different. Make it feel like a new era. New ideas, new people, new places, new stories, new adventures for us to discover!
😂 what? Martinet sounded more refined and natural. Kevin sounds like he’s trying so hard that his voice breaks several times. You can hear his voicing breaking especially when he uses actual words, that’s also when you can noticed how off he is
Kevin rejuvenated Mario a little bit hahahaha brought the old plumber back to his 'voice cracking teenage years'. No hate on Kevin, I'm enjoying his work so far and it'll be a voice that'll be easy to get used to over time.
What's curious is that the first pair of clips you chose is perhaps the one where the difference is the most noticeable. And there are a few sets where Kevin's reading actually comes closer to the Mario voice I expect to hear. Either way, you can tell them apart when listening back to back and without anything in the background, but while playing the game it's really not noticeable at all. Charles will always be the definitive Mario, has done a great job all these years, and I wish him all the best in his future endeavors. But they picked a fantastic successor. Kevin sounds like Mario, period.
Kevin Afghani does a great job as the replacement voice for Mario, especially when it comes to how energetic he sounds, but Charles Martinet nails the Italian charm of Mario's voice a lot better tbh. Kevin's still sounds a bit like Mickey Mouse, but I won't judge it too much since he's still in his early days of voicing the plumber. Kevin's Luigi voice is *SPOT ON* tho.
He needs a bit more gruff when going high. His "Mario number ONE!" type lines are too soft and smooth near the conclusion. Just a PINCH of vocal scratchiness is needed all the way through
What I definitely felt while playing this game is that the change in Mario's voice is quite new and refreshing. Though, I think the old voices we hear when Mario lose a life is better than that of new ones..
He sounds great, my only concern really is other characters when it comes to other releases. We didn't just lose Mario's voice, we lost Luigi and Wario as well! I heard an advert with Wario talking and it sounded really bad, too different but im not sure if this is the voice actor or just someone they got to do the ad
Love to hear Kevin havin' fun with Mario! His voice gives Mario a younger, higher pitched, equally energic and a fresh sound- heard that when I was playing the Super Mario Bros Wonder. Charles Martinet passed the torch to the right person. I have watched the Super Mario Bros The Movie today again. Loved to hear Charles in it. This was a nice way to finish his voice acting carreer as Mario. He wil be forever our Mario.

Kevin Afghani did such a good job that I refuse to believe they are that different. When it’s not a side by side comparison, the difference is not that noticeable
If Nintendo is planning on releasing the next 3D Mario on 64’s 30th anniversary, they should get Charles to voice Mario one last time. Have that game serve as his grand sendoff before fully passing the torch to Kevin.
The new mario voice is amazing! Reminds me of how mario is meant to be someone who spreads happiness. Charles started it first, but Kevin is my favorite!
@@akuseru85 Let’s be real, Martinet’s gotten older, and Mario’s had a lower and lower register overtime. I think Afghani’s Mario sounds closer to Martinet in the GameCube era, which makes for a similar but unique enough take from modern Martinet
When will we get to know more about Kevin Afghani? I would not like it if he is reclusive as it wouldn’t be right for him to be that way considering how public and nice of a guy Charles Martinet is. Well I have sent him an email politely asking him to please tell me more about himself by telling me anything he is comfortable with sharing about himself as well as asking him some questions (20 in total admittedly) such as if he ever met Charles Martinet and if he is a fan of any other video games franchises other then the Mario series. (From what little we know about him at the current time we do know he is a fan of the Mario series) I often have bad luck getting any Mario voice actor to respond to me (Scott Burns being the only exception) but maybe I will get lucky as I just want to do a sort of interview with him so that we know what he is like as a person.
I actually really like his new voice! Of course Charles will always be the goat, but it feels like Mario is even more lively and goofy. Same with Luigi too. The new VA definitely exceeded my expectations.

Kevin sounds like he's genuinely having fun with this. Hope to hear how his voice improves with later titles in the series.
If they ever make another Smash game, Kevin will finally be able to make new voice clips for Mario, Luigi AND Wario. Even in new games it will sound so awesome

Kevin’s rendition is pretty one point, if anything his voice makes Mario sound a little bit younger.
Exactly what I hear.
@thorwilhelms9635cooool 😃🤩
... Which is why I like his voice in Wonder. It will actually begin to sound off in the next game since Wonder is so different it fits here.
It would make sense considering that he’s channeling into Charles Martinet’s early Mario from the days of the N64 and GameCube.
He sounds like inhaled helium
Definitely prefer Charles but the difference isn’t crazy noticeable. Will be easy to get used to over time.
Listen to when they use actual words. It’s way off and more noticeable
@@rexrabbiteerso?
@@Idontknowtbh167 Charles is better cry about it
@@ppo1502 imagine using cry about it as a insult 💀💀 you’re just blinded by nostalgia, stop acting like a new voice actor is the end of the world
@@Idontknowtbh167 He isn't allowed to point things out? I didn't know you were his boss. 💀
This made me smile. Mr. Martinet has a sweet voice, while Mr. Afghani has a funny one. I have no complaints.
Wonder Mario sound's kinda like a cartoon character, while Charles sounds like an absolutely kind man.
@@justpablo1837The voice actually fits because of Wonder's art style. The game is really cartoony compared to the other New Super Mario Bros games.
You can definitely hear his voice crack at times. There's obv room for improvement. But I really like his younger and more giddy (higher pitch) approach to Mario as a character. It'll be fun to hear this new guy develop and refine Mario's new voice!
Well, he just started, and his voice will probably get more fine-tuned as he goes on.
@@h0metapebut the Mario day commercial was painful to listen to
Yeah that seems less his fault and more whoever recorded it and okay'd for the final cut@@Superbrookiebros
Yeah I've seen a lot of people comparing Kevin's voice with Charles in a bad way, as if he "isn't at Charle's level" but they don't think about how a new voice actor can give so much more else for a voice/character
@@Superbrookiebrosyeah that sucked, they should replace Mario’s voice instead
Kevin definitely sounds like Charles' earlier renditions of Mario.
Kevin sounds a not higher that's like not really noticeable when you don't compare it side by side
Kevin does a pretty great job. Voice is a little higher pitched, but it still sounds like the plumber we all know and love.

Charles gave all the templates, and so the new cast can move forward, thanks for all these years Charles. .he definitely gave life to these characters.
You can definitely tell the difference with Mario, but he did a much better job than Chris Pratt. Luigi is almost identical.
His Luigi sounds good until he says actual words. Then it sounds way off
Chris Pratt did a good job voicing Mario in the movie. Cut the man some slack
Chris Pratt sounds better tbh
Chris Pratt’s Mario impression during the plumbing commercial was really good and his voice for the rest of the movie still fit really well. Not sure what you mean by much better
you can tell the difference, but it's still very good. his high-pitches are sometimes giveaways and lack of trill in the r's.
Let's hope Kevin doesn't see that as a problem
And his voice is generally less... grainy sounding he just sounds younger
So much history behind Charles’ voice as mario…playing Mario in all our classic favorite games - from Mario 64 , mario party, to mario kart and everything in between. Definitely end of an era but excited to hear and see what’s next for our beloved plumber! 😢❤

Yeah and since Charles retired from doing Mario, I hope he does voice other characters in the future.
Both do a great job, can't wait to see more of Kevin Afghani's mario
0:14 i like how charles rolled his R better than the new that didnt.
Kevin did a great job in Wonder, looking forward to hearing more of his voice work. Charles will always be the OG and should of been the voice of Mario in the Movie.
Man I really miss good old Charles Martinet's voice talents for a long time before!

私がチャールズさんの声で育ったように、次世代の子供達は、ケビンさんで育っていくのね。
Honestly considering Kevin is 41 years younger than Charles Martinet, the voices are pretty damn close!
I love how supportive and non-toxic the community has been in welcoming our new Mario voice! 😁
I’m goad you haven’t seen anything. I’ve seen my fair share of hate. I’ve seen people hating on Nintendo, acting like they fired him

How is it that when Mario gets recasted everyone is supportive of it bit if this were Sonic everyone would lose their shit

It’s never going be the same without Charles he is the #1 voice actor of Mario and Luigi!

Kevin will never be as good as Charles and that's not nostalgia talking

Had a more careful listen here and.... Kevin's Mario voice is pretty much spot on, it could easily be mistaken for Charles Martinet.
i like that charles martinet has an tiny echo effect
I’m sure it will only get better as time goes on. But even now this is totally fine.
