There was a discussion about this article 2 years ago here and here, but I thought it’s such an interesting a novel concept full of potential that it’s worth a repost.

    I need to talk about the Mario thing. The first time we heard him speak was N64, when he said “It’s a me, Mario,” with an accent that is clearly not from New York or New Jersey. And now he’s all of a sudden not Italian?

      I heard “Hot pickle!” in a completely unrecognizable accent and have been confused ever since. Was it Mario that said that? Lakitu? Whose voice is that if not Mario’s and if it is Mario… What the hell? Lol

      He says it when you select a level to play.

        That’s interesting, apparently false, itsumi means something else that I forgot in the time it took me to swipe back over to Lemmy here, but I do like the line of thinking.
