Who played Mario the best?

[RH | 4,895]

Damned straight I voted Bob Hoskins.

[G-type | 2,479]

don't recognize a lot of these names. Bob Hoskins was a great choice. I was a huge Roger Rabbit fan, so I can totally see why they went  with him.

I really like the Super Mario Bros movie.

Captain Lou was the more iconic Mario of my childhood.

Bob Hoskins gets a close second, I guess, though he and John L. would have made a better movie if they'd been less drunk less of the time.

Captain Lou gets my vote.

I have to go with Charles Martinet, sorry. His voice is just so iconic and, IMO, when you think of Mario being acted out in any capacity, you instantly think of Martinet's voice acting.

Not if you grew up with Captain Lou every afternoon.

Fair enough! It was a little bit before my time.  I only remember getting a single glimpse at the Super Mario World cartoon on TV. It had to be a rerun in '94 or so. (Though I could be misremembering...)

Gotta be Captain Lou.  Oh, f*ck you Luigi!

Captain Lou Albano was the best

[MachineCode | 159]

Captain Lou ALL the way. Charles Martinet is great and I love his work, but it was just odd spending the 1st decade of my life having Mario be an Italian plumber from Brooklyn,  and Im sure being Italian and from Brooklyn plays into this, and then all of a sudden being a straight up off the boat Italian.

Also, despite not having any sort of NY accent anymore (moved a very long time ago) I still pronounce Mario the Brooklyn/Lou Albano way which tends to generate confusion from people used to the Martinet way.
