Nintendo has a new voice for Mario and Luigi in the upcoming game ‘Super Mario Bros. Wonder,’ with actor Kevin Afghani taking on the roles.
On Twitter (X), Afghani wrote, “Incredibly proud to have voiced Mario and Luigi in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Thanks to Nintendo for inviting me into the Flower Kingdom!“
Recently, Nintendo announced that Charles Martinet, the original voice of Mario, is stepping down and taking on the role of “Mario Ambassador.” Martinet has voiced Mario and other characters in the franchise since the mid-1990s.
Martinet responds to the announcement that he will no longer be voicing Mario in future Nintendo games: “My new Adventure begins! You are all Numba One in my heart! #woohoo !!!!!!”
In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, badges are a significant addition, granting Mario and friends new abilities. These can be unlocked and equipped from the world map, with some, like the Floating High Jump Badge, changing character movements. The Dolphin Kick Badge is handy for swimming, making it easier to cover more distance quickly in the water.
According to Nintendo’s official description:
“Check out Mario’s latest adventure, and see how Wonder Flowers shakes up the classic platforming gameplay with all kinds of wild Wonder effects. Take your pick from the largest cast of characters ever seen in a side-scrolling Mario game, and hop into the Flower Kingdom with up to 4 players in local co-op. You’ll even get to try some new power-ups, like the Elephant Fruit!”
Super Mario Bros. Wonder releases on October 20, 2023. You can pre-order now on Amazon.
