Wahoo: Voice of Mario honored with Guinness World Record
With a “wahoo” and “let’s-a go,” “It’s-a me, Mario,” made it into the record books.
Charles Martinet, the man who has voiced the video game plumber 100 times in Nintendo games through the years, was recently honored with a Guinness World Record for most video game voiceover performances as the same character.
He achieved the feat after the release of “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.”
