I never had a serious problem with how Bowser has been portrayed in Smash Bros, but I always found it weird that he sounds like a monster instead of the goofy cartoon villain we know and love. I kind of wonder how Bowser’s personality would change if he still had his cartoonish traits.
Donkey Kong also has a different voice in Smash, but I don’t mind it because I never liked his voice in the Mario games. It was just so cringeworthy and it felt like the voice actor was trying too hard to be goofy.
I am happy that they didn’t give Yoshi realistic dinosaur noises. They actually thought about doing that. Think about that for a minute. Yoshi with T-Rex noises. That voice would be so out of character for him considering how adorable he looks.
