Charles Martinet

查尔斯·马丁内特是一位美国配音演员和作家，三十多年来，他以任天堂马里奥的标志性声音而闻名。1955年9月17日出生于加利福尼亚州圣何塞，从1991年到2023年，他在数百款游戏中为马里奥、路易吉、瓦里奥、瓦路易吉以及他们的婴儿版本赋予了生命。他欢快、高音调的马里奥声音成为全球流行文化的试金石，几代玩家都能一眼认出。2023年8月，马丁内特从主要配音岗位退休，转任任天堂官方品牌大使，继续在活动和媒体中代表该系列。除了任天堂，他还在《上古卷轴5：天际》（2011年）中为帕图纳克斯配音，并在《龙珠》系列（2022年起）中为玛杰塔配音，展现了他的多才多艺。拥有超过150款游戏配音作品，并因最多游戏配音出场次数获得吉尼斯世界纪录，马丁内特仍然是游戏界最受喜爱的人物之一。[编辑]

查尔斯·马丁内特在加利福尼亚州圣何塞长大，家庭鼓励创造力。他曾就读于加州大学圣地亚哥分校学习政治学，但对表演的热情促使他前往伦敦皇家戏剧艺术学院学习表演。在获得一生中最重要的角色之前，马丁内特曾担任电视演员和编剧，在1980年代的《爱之船》和《综合医院》等剧中出演小角色。他还创作并参演舞台剧。通往马里奥的道路始于1991年，当时一位朋友建议他去试镜一个贸易展的配音角色。马丁内特走进试镜室时并不知道自己要读什么角色。他拿到了一份带有几句意大利口音英语的剧本，被要求扮演一个水管工。他即兴的、充满活力的表演赢得了任天堂代表的青睐，当场被选为马里奥。他的第一款正式游戏是《马里奥教打字》（1991年），这款不起眼的教育游戏开启了他长达三十年的职业生涯。[编辑]

马丁内特的突破来自1996年的《超级马里奥64》，他在其中为马里奥的配音成为游戏的决定性元素。他的标志性口头禅，包括“It's-a me, Mario!”和“Wahoo!”，都是在此引入的。他很快扩展了自己的角色范围，在《马里奥时间机器》（1992年）中为路易吉配音，在《马里奥基础知识》（1994年）中为瓦里奥配音，在《马里奥网球》（2000年）中为瓦路易吉配音。在接下来的二十年里，马丁内特在几乎所有主要的马里奥游戏中为角色配音：《马里奥赛车》系列（1997年起）、《超级马里奥阳光》（2002年）、《超级马里奥银河》（2007年）、《超级马里奥奥德赛》（2017年），以及无数《马里奥派对》和体育游戏。2011年，他接演了一个截然不同的角色——在《上古卷轴5：天际》中扮演睿智的龙帕图纳克斯，其表演因深度而备受赞誉。2015年，吉尼斯世界纪录认定他是游戏配音出场次数最多的演员。2022年，他开始在《龙珠超：超级英雄》及后续的《龙珠》项目中为玛杰塔配音。2023年8月21日，马丁内特宣布从马里奥配音岗位退休，转任任天堂官方品牌大使。[编辑]

Charles Martinet has been evaluated by iFANN's Global Fame Engine but is currently unranked, holding no placement in its published rankings as of August 2026, including the Global Top 1,000 or any Top-100 scope list. His absence from the rankings is a reflection of the engine's specific criteria, not of his cultural footprint, he remains a beloved figure in gaming, though his fame is concentrated within that community rather than across the broader public consciousness.

Martinet's fanbase, while substantial, has no formal name. Fans typically identify as Charles Martinet fans or simply as Mario fans, and they often celebrate his signature catchphrase "WooHoo!" as a communal touchstone. The community is deeply integrated into the larger Super Mario fandom, organizing through existing Nintendo networks, conventions, and social media rather than a dedicated fan club. Following his August 2023 announcement that he would step down from voicing Mario, fans spontaneously shared tributes across platforms, a collective outpouring that underscored his three-decade impact. While no coordinated campaigns like billboards or charity drives have been documented, his fans consistently support his appearances and engage warmly with his personal content.

Martinet's relationship with his audience is marked by extraordinary accessibility. He maintains an active social media presence, shares personal reflections, and has gracefully supported his successor, Kevin Afghani. His decision to stop performing Mario's voice post-retirement, due to Nintendo restrictions, was met with disappointment, yet he remains a cherished figure in gaming culture.[编辑]

Martinet was not a gamer before landing the Mario role; he learned to play Mario games to understand the character's movements and timing. He auditioned for Mario over the phone without knowing the role, improvising an Italian plumber voice on the spot. His Mario voice evolved over time, becoming higher-pitched and more energetic as the games demanded. He has a deep affection for fans and often spends extra time at conventions signing autographs and taking photos. In Skyrim, the role of Paarthurnax was written specifically with Martinet in mind by the game's writers. He holds a black belt in karate. Martinet's favorite Mario game to voice is Super Mario Galaxy, citing its emotional story. He once recorded over 80 different voice takes for a single Mario line to get the perfect delivery.

A story fans still retell is how Martinet crashed the Mario audition in 1990, having never heard of Nintendo, and improvised the Italian-accented voice that would define his career. In a 2026 interview, he revealed that he identifies more with Luigi in real life, describing Mario as "the most wonderful human being ever," a detail that has endeared him further to fans. His transition to Mario Ambassador in 2023, following his retirement from the role, was handled with notable grace and has become part of his legacy.[编辑]
