"Thank you for so many years of friendship and joy. I’m sad that it’s over, I truly would have wanted to voice Peach and Toad forever. Nintendo let me know yesterday that they decided to recast these roles. I’m grateful that I got to do these voices for so many years. Peach and Toad are such strong and beautiful characters that I pray they live forever no matter who voices them. So much love🩷"
This whole Mario recast thing kinda sucks to be honest, and it's all thanks to Nintendo's poor handling of the situation. Not only because they've recast the actors for random and unnecessary reasons, but also because of how they're treating the original VAs' exit. It's a pretty skeezy move to tell someone they were fired the day before the launch of a new game they didn't even get to work on - especially in this case, since Kelly gave her voice to these characters for almost 20 years now. They gave a pointless "ambassador" role to Charles, they could've at least given the same for Samantha.
Nonetheless, I wish Kelly the best of luck going forward and all the same to Peach and Toad's new VA(s).
