Since Nintendo announced that Charles Martinet is no longer voicing Mario in future games. Here’s a video showcasing Martinet’s first performance as Mario for the 1991 pinball game “Super Mario Bros.” by Gottlieb.

On June 2018, [Martinet confirmed that both Nintendo and Gottlieb used his voice clips without paying him and was uncredited.](https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/8tj0yb/update_charles_martinet_is_the_voice_of_mario_in/)
Edit: Actually it was “1992” not 1991.
I love this pinball machine. My local pinball place has it. You can also get it for visual pinball x.
I played a Mario pinball machine at a Waffle House as a child. It got me into pinball really, for the longest time I wanted confirmation I wasn’t just misremembering it’s existence.
Absolutely loved this table growing up – dunno if anyone else here is from Michigan, but back in the 90s a small arcade in Frankenmuth used to have Mushroom World, and then (funny enough) ANOTHER arcade would have this specific table until sometime last year, which were the only chances I had to play either of them
who says this is grating to listen to? I’d happily watch a whole movie with the Mario bros talking like this
