In a big move for the gaming world, Charles Martinet, the legendary voice behind Super Mario, has officially retired after over 30 years. Mario’s adventures began in 1985 and became hugely popular. But it was in the ’90s that Mario got his voice, thanks to Martinet.
After voicing Mario for decades, Martinet is now becoming Nintendo’s ambassador, leaving fans curious about the future of Mario. It also explains why Chris Pratt was picked for Mario in the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Princess Peach Steps Up
Princess Peach, who stole hearts in the Super Mario Bros. Movie, is now getting her own game. Nintendo recently unveiled “Princess Peach Showtime!” during a live event. The game looks fantastic, with Peach taking on various roles and outfits, promising exciting 2D action and puzzles. It’s coming to Nintendo Switch on March 22.
While Mario isn’t being left behind, Nintendo is shifting focus to Peach. This makes sense, as she’s one of Mario’s most important companions. The movie’s success suggests spinoffs and sequels could follow.
A Bright Future for Peach
Anya Taylor-Joy’s portrayal of Princess Peach was a hit. She was a strong, proactive leader in the movie, not just a damsel in distress. The Super Mario Bros. Movie made a whopping $1.36 billion worldwide, ranking second in animated film history.
With all the buzz around Princess Peach, we’re hoping for more from her. A prequel exploring her journey from the human world to the Mushroom Kingdom, as hinted in the movie, would be fantastic. Let’s also hope Taylor-Joy sticks around for more adventures. While Mario will always be special, it’s Princess Peach’s turn to shine.
