Super Mario Bros. Wonder English Voice Actors Officially Announce Their Characters

WHY did they change Daisy's VA??

What about Yoshi's voice actor? Cause Yoshi does sound somewhat different in Wonder.

@Aurumonado The voice is old I suppose

@DanijoEX-the-Pierrot I'm fairly certain that's still Kazumi Totaka, just doing a more energetic take.

Strange he isn't mentioned in the credits though

They should have just hired Chris Pratt. He really gave it his all in that role.

Not the actors fault (as I guess he was told to talk like that) but have to say I the find the American flower voice very annoying so changed it to Japanese (although Italian fits well!) It sounds like a wise cracking Pixar character... I wish we could make the flowers speak in a British accent: "Oi mate!"

Im still not 100% on board with Wario's new voice. But an actor needs time to get comfortable with a role to make it their own.

I don't mind the talking flower voice that much!

Although there was one badge challenge that I was a bit stuck on and had to hear the same line being said over and over again, so I thought it best to mute them for now.
But when you go to turn it off in settings he says "Oh! Was it something I said?" which made me smile so I turned them back on again once I'd cleared the challenge.

@Aurumonado Because Daisy's original VA, Charles Martinet stepped down.

It’ll take a while to fully get used to the new voices but I think from what I’ve heard so far none are bad.

I do wish the talking flowers had multiple voices though. It’s not the same flower each time (because sometimes there are multiple on screen at once) so why do they all sound the same?
Poplins and Toads I don’t mind as much as they don’t actually say a whole lot.

Gotta say Giselle really nails it as Daisy. They manage to get the voice down pretty much just right.

@GoshJosh Sarcasm?

So we just don't know who voices Yoshi anymore?

@Clyde_Radcliffe

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BRITISH ACCENT

I believe Cabanos is also the voice of Filia in Skullgirls. That’s awesome!

Also just got the game this morning and beat the first world. It’s awesome, everyone go play it

@FishyS

Miyamoto has said that Peach, Toadette and the Toads are all mushrooms. He's actually gone as far to explain how the Toads are biphasic and "Toadette" (or simply "Kid Toad" in Japanese) is identical to the other Toads except for how they choose to ware their hair. He said the choice to end the name with the "コ" instead of "オ", giving them a female gendered name, was basically random.

At one point he said that Peach was a non-biphasic toad, but he's walked that back, saying she's a different type of mushroom altogether. Then he walked that back and said she is literally his child ... he gets really weird when talking about lore sometime.

I mean, obviously believe whatever you want, Miyamoto is well know for charging lore constantly and even updating it to match fan theories he likes ... I'm more saying at this point why even try to tie it back to evidence in the games?

@nessisonett I say old chap, what ever does he mean British accent?

The main voice in the game is the talking flower. Barely registered what any of the other characters have said.

I've been hearing people saying Yoshi has a new one too so I'm wondering who that could be. Personally I am extremely bad at telling this kind of thing (everyone still sounds exactly the same in my ears; SOMETIMES I hear it a bit for Mario and Luigi), so as far as I can tell it's still Kazumi Totaka.

@nessisonett Yes there is. There's many in fact. I have a British accent being from London. My friend from Scotland has a different British accent.

I can say 'American accent' to any American accent I hear, even though there are obviously loads.

They all did an excellent job and did well sounding like the original voices.

Honestly most of them sound the same as the previous VAs so I couldn't tell much of a difference. Hope to hear more from them!

The game is a masterpiece and it's such a shame Charles didn't bag this as a one final role, his Magnum Opus

@GoshJosh yeah I think he gave it all but... maybe he should give his all in the marvel movies instead

The speaking flower is cool, I like his voice and how he is implemented in the game. Everybody else is also doing a great job.

I will say mario and luigi sound good. Kevin is doing a fine job. It'll be interesting to hear Wario and waluigi from now on though.

I think so far they've done a pretty fantastic job. I'm pretty happy with the voice work overall.

@Clyde_Radcliffe It’s fundamentally false. Northern Ireland, Scotland and the south-west of England have rhotic accents for starters. A lot of Welsh accents in English are entirely different if they’re Welsh speakers, same as if you’re a Gaelic speaker. ‘British accent’ just is not a thing at all, neither is an ‘American accent’ in all honesty, it’s a stupid social construct designed to whittle us all down to our centres of power and destroy any individuality. To write off all of the UK as having one accent is to ignore the linguistic genocide carried out by the upper classes on any regional accent, making it almost impossible until very recently to be in any position of power or in the media just due to your accent. RP is a thing for a reason.

@nessisonett When we say "British accent" we mean one of the many accents spoken in the United Kingdom. We know it's not just one accent. Whether you're from England or Scotland, to Americans you sound British. It's not intended to be dismissive or offensive.

@Jiggies Well it is dismissive and offensive. To do so disregards the unique cultural identities of the countries within the UK, it’s not one country in any sense. We get enough of it from the English without the rest of the world joining in.

@Clyde_Radcliffe 100%, American voices in Japanese games that have been "localised" is a pet peeve of mine. I really wish they would cast British voice actors for the UK release!

@Jiggies I'm from Hampshire in England, but live in North America now and you all think I'm Australian when I talk... so 🤦🤷😅

Charles was the real and only Mario. He will always and forever be missed.

@nessisonett If you get offended by people's simplicity or ignorance, you're not going to have a good time.

this is so sad, deanna mustard (daisys va) was so good!

I would say I'm upset the look of the credits was spoiled for me, but then again, I've almost reached them myself!

I found all the high pitched characters sounded the same to me.. like they were done by the same person hahha

@nessisonett Funny, since alot of people in the UK do the same thing with Americans. People draw in broad strokes, and typically generalize. Especially those who've spent their entire lives in one area without visiting the world around them.

so how does everyone like the newest super mario bros with new graphics?

@nessisonett That's ridiculous. Go ahead and say "American accent," no one cares. I'm not going to get on you because you didn't realize that my accent is from the east coast, not the midwest or the south etc etc etc, even though they are very different. Just because we all have the internet doesn't mean we all know everything, so chill out.

@Gamepro500 Yes. Did you ever check out Cannon Dancer/Osman? It's basically Strider. Man, I'd kill for Capcom to do another one of those.

@Devann Care to say why you'd assume that they are not qualified? They've all done well in their roles here, all of them have more experience with VA then Charles Martinet did when he got the role, and they're all American. Cause America is pretty diverse.

Daisy's voice actor could use some rasp, but I don't want them to ruin their voice...

@Devann your statement read as "they hired people because they are diverse." That kind of thing usually comes from people that are attempting to discredit the actor. Like they were not hired for merit, but to fill a quota or to appease the imaginary "woke mob." If that is not what you meant, then cheerfully retracted.

@Devann You know what you're trying to do mate. Give it a rest.

Daisy's voice is alright.... But Deannas unique voice made me love daisy. Listening to the new clips she sounds abit soft in some lines new voice is kinda a mix of Deanna and n64 early GameCube Mario party games daisy

@nessisonett - So you’re saying as an American I should be able to differentiate between an accent of someone from the different cities and regions of the UK? If that’s the case, are you going to refer to my accent as American or will you refer to it as a Midwestern accent?

Nobody is trying to oppress people by saying “British accent” or “American accent.” We’re just not in tune with the local accents of other countries. Just as you’re not aware of the regional accents of the US and Canada.

Samantha Kelly has FIVE VA credits of playable characters and only got that tiny section? What, did the one with the biggest reason fail to promote/shamelessly but understandably brag about themselves? W/e, it was a joy playing through it with her voice; Team Peach!

@mattitudemf They aren’t regions. They’re countries. That’s the point.

@nessisonett - and each of those countries have regions with their own specific accent.

Playing four players with my kids this weekend. Everybody talking and yahooing and the flowers commenting. It’s just really cute!

It's a bit weird that they go all out for the Mario movie throwing millions upon millions at big names, just to have big names, and then turn around and hire a bunch of nobodies for their game.

Some of these people barely even have followers? Very weird.

@OhBoyIysSwellToSay Nintendo is smart for knowing they don't have to hire star power to record a bunch "wahoos" and "yipees" in a video game. That's an utter waste honestly when it's clear that smaller voice actors are more than capable of doing it effectively. If Nintendo is hiring big names, it makes it sense for it to be done in a medium where there is full dialogue.

I'm intrigued that they'd pick a guy who's 26 years old, which is supposedly also Mario's age according to Miyamoto. :v

@Magic_Salmon_Pro Woooo Hampshire!!! whereabouts are you from? (I'm Fareham ).

@Clyde_Radcliffe The flower in general is annoying. People thought the "bah!" from NSMB was annoying, this is 100x that. I'd take that over these flowers any day. At least I was able to turn it off. So far that's my only complaint with the game.

@popey1980
I'm from just down the road from you in Southampton. But have now escaped to the beautiful city of Ottawa in Canada!

@mattitudemf he's saying he gets frustrated that North Americans in general think of the UK as a collection of 4 "states" when in fact they are actually individual countries in a union together so it's like saying "European accent" rather than German or Italian. The Scots are very protective of there country, probably because the English have consistently tried to purge and erase their entire culture and language over the centuries. So you know he's passionate about defending Scotland - maybe abit too much on a gaming website but you know 🤷

why is nobody talking about nabbit's voice actor, he did great

@Magic_Salmon_Pro - Sure, but as an American I can tell you when it comes to accents we don’t group a Scottish accent in with a “British accent.” If anything, many of us may confuse the Scottish and Irish accents just because of the lack of exposure.

Believe me I get the whole being defensive of your nation state that’s part of a bigger entity. We have 50 states that are very defensive about their own identities and try to tell the other 49 how to act. 😆

@mattitudemf so here's the really funny thing though with the word British - the Scots, the English, the Welsh and the Irish are all technically just as "British" as each other. Because Britain actually refers to the 2 land masses (the British isles) that make up the UK and Ireland.

England, Scotland, Wales = "Great Britain" (just the one big island)

England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland = "United Kingdom" (countries under administrative control of the crown)

England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland & republic of Ireland = "The British isles" (both of the islands)

I find when most North Americans say "British" they actually mean "English".

But I understand that none of this info about 2 tiny islands is even remotely important to people who live on the otherside of the planet. I knew basically nothing of the cultural intricacies of North America outside Hollywood movies before I moved here 😅

@LikelySatan i've known that for years

@Gamepro500 known what? About Osman? Is that your response to me saying "hey, this other game is neat?"
