Martinet has one of the most recognizable voices in the world.

Charles Martinet is the voice of Mario. Yes, that Mario, of the Super Mario Brothers video game franchise. Since the release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, he is also now the Guinness World Record holder for the most video game performances of a single character. The latest Nintendo release marked his 100th time voicing the iconic plumber.


Martinet posted this video about the honor this past Friday.

Martinet says...

"So it's a great day today. I'm here at Guinness World Records, and I have a Guinness World Record! Look at this! There's the closet there. You can see me in there as the most voice-overs as a video game character. 100 with Smash Brothers Ultimate."

Martinet first gave his voice to the character in 1992's Mario Teaches Typing and the Super Mario Bros. pinball game. The 63-year-old voice actor has also leant his voice to other Mario Brothers characters such as Luigi, Wario, and Toadsworth.

People offered their congratulations.



People were surprised he was only just breaking the record.




But most were simply excited for him.




Congrats Charles! And here's to many more performances.

Kennedy Jr., who is facing heavy criticism after admitting that in 2014 he found a dead bear cub on the road and then bizarrely placed it in New York City's Central Park to make it look like it had been hit by a bicycle.

Kennedy revealed to MAGA actor Roseanne Barr that he and some friends were responsible for dumping the bear cub after finding it dead. He said "people were drinking with me who thought [it] was a good idea" to stage an accident. He claimed the idea came to him at the time because he was running late for another engagement.
