Mario Speaks

[47drift]

Just a quick thought.

How would you like it if Mario talked like he did in Superstar Saga and Partners in Time? You know, with the gibberish "Italian" and such. I thought it might work out if he talked like that in Subspace. Might be pretty clever.

If not, how should he speak? All the silence is quite disturbing...

Hoo-hoo! Let's-a-go!

[Chepe]

Mario can speak if he wants to, I just think Nintendo doesnt want to overload him with voice acting and sentencing because it may kill the feel or overdo it. But as seen here, he talks...

[Mario Girl]

Mario is a silent plumber... He might even be behind you planning an assault right now!

[Dragonbreath]

"So. . .we meet at last."

". . ."

"They call me. . .Sonic. I've heard a lot about you, Mario." *Clenches Fists* "Tell me. . .You think you'll be able to make this interesting for me?"

"Abloobitbloobity."

". . .What?"

I think I'd **** a lung laughing if that happened.

[LuLLo]

LoL :P^^!!

You, sir, have just made my day:laugh:

[Flying Dutchman]

Mario already talks.

"Hoo!"

"Waha!"

"Yahooooo!"

"Weeheee!"

See?

That just made my day.

[ThoraxeRMG]

The only time I heard Mario speak 5 or more sentences was at his Awarding at a G4 Game Show.
It's interesting on how Mario doesn't talk much.

[xbrinkx]

Weird idea. Would be bittersweet. Ya know, we finally get a few words outta mario, but it may start to kill you from all that annoyingness of the "Mamma mia let's-a go-a defeat-a Meta Knight-a.". Not that I think it would sound that way, but if you heard Bowser's voice in Super Mario Sunshine then you may have some second thoughts. Btw, I saw that video.

P.S. I'm so happy they made Bowser sound like a little brrraa blaarr blah, but you can still make out the words when you read in Super Mario Galaxy.

He talks a lot in those.

[xbrinkx]

Yah. He does. I know it wouldn't sound as annoying as I made it. Although that interview was getting a little annoying voicing.

[SpitFire15]

I thought that second vid was a little funny/lame, simply because the guy was actually trying to have a conversation with another guy in a Mario costume.

I wouldn't mind Mario saying a few one-liners in SE. He really doesn't need to.

[SolidSonic]

Mario? Talk?

Blasphemy .

[Izaw]

He talks at the Mario 64 game :P "Its a mee mario" "mama mia" and stuff...

Then he talks alot on the Mario Party games too... like "I got a star"

Think he will be making small small sentences like these on the game.

[The rAt]

Funny, I've been thinking it would be nice to hear Mario's voice less. I mean, at what point did Mario's high-pitched, overly-energetic gibberish become preferable to the classic jumping noises of the old-school sidescrollers? I dunno, maybe I think that way because I grew up with the Brooklyn-born Mario of the Super Mario Super-Show, but Charles Martinet's voice just grates on me, at least in large doses.

Also, what is this doing in the Brawl Character Discussion section?

[47drift]

Also, what is this doing in the Brawl Character Discussion section?

Let's see. Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Mario is a character in there, no? Thus, discussing Mario would be discussing a character in Brawl, would it not?

I rest my case. :D

I rest my case. :D

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?

Generally, the point of the Brawl Character discussion section is to discuss characters as they relate to Brawl, not all aspects of each character that happens to be included in Brawl. Not that I care a great deal, but so far this discussion has about as much to do with Brawl as a discussion on which version of Link looks the best.

I think you rested your case a bit prematurely.

LO FREAKING L!

[Cless]

Mario should talk like he did in the Super Mario Galaxy pre-order announcement.

[LuiStrokes]

Mario also talks in NSMB

he says:

That's it so nice-a

Or something like that

[voittaa711]

Mario is a mystery....he never says more than four words at a time. It feels like hes obligated to save princess peach and doesn't seem like he knows any better. He has no problem defeating Bowser either. Hes an italian/plumber/gymnast who can shoot fireballs, grow twice his size with a mushroom, has 3 lives.

What the hell is this plumber hiding?

[47drift]

If I recall, he had a few statements in Mario Vs. Donkey Kong.

Boy, what a great game.

Mob connections.

[Puffs]

Sonic began speaking. Look what happened to him.

[Puffball64]

but Charles Martinet's voice just grates on me, at least in large doses.?

That's the thing though. The cutscenes are only about one minute in length in Brawl. I doubt we'll be hearing much of Mario within those cutscenes, so it shouldn't be anywhere near the length of time in those youtube videos...

Well, I meant that the ammount of Mario's voice I hear already is bordering on too much for my taste. You're right that it probably wouldn't be a massive change, but it would be a big enough of one to bother me. Unless they cut his voice out of the gameplay and replaced it with the old-school jumping noises. Then I wouldn't get tired of his voice so quickly, and hearing his voice in cutscenes would be more bearable. For me, anyways.

Also, which youtube vidoes were you refering to?

[ThatOtherGuy]

Personally I like the version of his voice from Super Mario 64 the best out of the video game versions, with Melee second and Brawl/Galaxy's Mario voice tied for last. (Too high-pitched now IMO). Contrast his long/triple jumps in Mario 64, or his Tornado in Melee, with Galaxy or the Brawl trailer where he fights Snake and you'll hear what I'm talking about.

[SmashWolf]

I don't really care about Mario saying a few lines, just not too much. I already know he can talk, and I(having practiced Mario's voice) can speak Mario's voice in full lines now myself.

Charles Martinet seems to go a little overboard with Mario lately. And I hope his voice will be more like in Mario 64 or Melee/Sunshine, instead of like Galaxy. His voice is way too high pitched and joyfull. And that voice doesn't fit him that much the way he looks in Melee and Brawl.

Ah, must've missed those. Gotta admit, that first one isn't half bad.

Agreed. Everytime I hear him yell "Super Mario Galaxeeee!!", I want to punch a kitten.

[Stryks]

Well its gonna weird, I mean I hope there IS dialogue, so far there all mute, even fox, who DOES talk...

[Syzygy]

"Hello, it’s-a me, Mario. Woo-hoo! And I’m-a calling you because I’m here at the GameStop where they telling me you pre-ordered my newest and greatest game, Super Mario Galaxy! Woo-hoo! It’s an amazing game, and it’s-a going to be here tomorrow at your local GameStop. You can come and pick it up at the GameStop store where you originally reserve you copy. Whoopee! I’m-a can’t wait for you to see me flying around in my bumblebee outfit. I’m-a out in space trying to rescue the princess. Ah, she makes my heart go bada-bing-bada-boom-bada-ba. Oh, and you know what else? GameStop will let you bring in your old gameses to trade in for credit. Yah, credit to help you buy you copy of Super Mario Galaxy, with-a me, Mario. Oh and if you have any questions make sure you call you local GameStop store where you pre-order my game, and they going to be happy to help you out. Okey dokey? Okey dokey! Happy holidays! And thank you very much for buying my new game, Super Mario Galaxy, at the GameStop. Woo-hoo!”

Haha, absolutely made my day when I got this call from Mario. Check out the story here (http://news.filefront.com/mario-calls-gamestop-customers-to-remind-them-to-pick-up-super-mario-galaxy/)if you weren't lucky enough to get a preorder from Gamestop.

On topic, I'd love to here a random SSS gibberish every once in a while, that would be incredible (babaduiobdop), but if he ever says any sentences, I'll refuse to play him, lol.

[SmashWolf]

I like the Mario voice, but Charles Martinet has little obsession with saying Woo-hoo or something alike after every few sentences. It can get annoying.

Meh, if he talks, it should be inspired by jokes. I loved the Mario & Sonic commercial jokes, and the Mario&Luigi talk, but I can get kinda annoyed by him talking in spots always talking about himself and how great his game is.

[Kirbynator23]

We don't want Mario to turn into some gay sonic the hedgehog. But alot of our favorite Nintendo guys have brief moments where they talk, breathe heavily or even grunt.

[TheKruskinator]

Pot. Lots and lots of pot.

taht was the funniest thing I heard all day!!! I am still laughing and typing this at the same time! I willl tey nott tu mizz thr keezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

[Demonplant]

I like the way they did marios talking. the whole " its a me a mario" makes me giggle every time....

[TheJalapeno]

Hey Mario thanks for fixing my toile-

Hey what? What are you trying to say? What he hell does "WAHOO!" mean?

What the hell is wrong my toilet

"YAHOO" Doesn't solve my problem.

[SmashBro99]

The ways they made him communicate in the Mario & Luigi series and the Paper Mario series would be great for the adventure mode!

Then again I can see why they wouldn't include him speaking.
