Charles Martinet voiced Mario for Nintendo from the early 1990s until 2023, also voicing Luigi, Wario and Waluigi in many games. His bright, Italian accented performance defined Mario for a generation of players across titles like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. Short clips of his laughs and catchphrases later circulated widely on soundboards and in fan edits, detached from the games themselves. The laugh endures because it is instantly identifiable, family friendly and flexible enough for celebration, nostalgia or gentle comedy online.
