Mario Ambassador Charles Martinet admits even he doesn\u2019t know what a \u2018Mario Ambassador\u2019 does NintendoFormer Mario voice actor Charles Martinet admitted during a panel at GalaxyCon Austin that even he doesn\u2019t know what his new title of \u201cMario Ambassador\u201d actually entails. Last month\u2019s announcement that longtime Mario voice actor Charles Martinet would be stepping back from his roles led to an outpouring of love and support for the iconic performer. However, while Martinet won\u2019t be in future games, including this year\u2019s Super Mario Wonder and WarioWare Move It!, Nintendo has said he won\u2019t be going far. Martinet\u2019s new title is \u201cMario Ambassador,\u201d which has led to plenty of fan speculation. Now, Martinet, who also voiced Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi, has revealed even he doesn\u2019t actually know what his new job actually entails. Nintendo has yet to explain what a \u2018Mario Ambassador\u2019 is \u2013 even to Charles Martinet During a panel at GalaxyCon Austin, Martinet addressed his new position with Nintendo, telling the crowd \u201cI\u2019m a Mario Ambassador, I don\u2019t know what that is yet, I\u2019m not retired as it were, but I\u2019m an ambassador and as we step forward into the future I will learn, we\u2019ll all learn what exactly that is.\u201d His admission that even he doesn\u2019t know what a \u201cMario Ambassador\u201d does elicited some laughter from the crowd. Martinet also said, \u201cI\u2019m always an ambassador of Nintendo and Mario and all of these events because I just cherish every moment of it.\u201d He then took questions from the audience, though he did say he wouldn\u2019t answer any about the ambassadorship because \u201cI don\u2019t know anything about it.\u201d So far, all Nintendo has said about Martinet\u2019s new role is that he\u2019ll \u201ccontinue to travel the world sharing the joy of Mario and interacting with you all.\u201d In the same statement, it also announced a \u201cspecial video message from Shigeru Miyamoto and Charles himself\u201d to come at a later date. In addition to celebrating Martinet and his work, this may finally shed some light on what being a \u201cMario Ambassador\u201d actually means. Nintendo has also said the new voice of Mario will be revealed in the credits for Super Mario Wonder. It seems fans, and Martinet himself, will have to wait a bit longer to learn what the future holds for the iconic plumber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
