The new voice of Mario has been officially announced.

“Incredibly proud to have voiced Mario and Luigi in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Thanks to Nintendo for inviting me into the Flower Kingdom!”
Afgahni previously voiced the character Arnold in Genshin Impact.

The voice actor’s name appeared in a leaked list of Mario Wonder credits earlier this week, though fan speculation pointed to another actor, Mick Wingert as the voice of Mario – something the actor’s agent later denied.

Nintendo announced this summer that Charles Martinet – who has voiced Mario for over 25 years – would be stepping down from the role, but it didn’t announce who had replaced him.
In a video posted by Nintendo last month, Charles Martinet and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto discussed Martinet’s new role as ‘Mario Ambassador’.
Martinet said the role will entail “travelling around the world, sharing the joy of the Mario family, and being able to continue meeting with all of you wonderful fans, who I cherish absolutely the most”.
This week’s leaked Wonder credits also suggest that Deanna Mustard, one of the longest-serving Mario voice actors, has been recast as Daisy.
Meanwhile, Samantha Kelly, who voices Peach, Toad and Toadette in previous Mario games, voice of Bowser Kenny James, as well as Caety Sagoian as Bowser Jr., could be returning.

Why Did Nintendo Keep Mum On Super Mario Bros Wonder Actor?
There are many mysteries in the video game space that we’re not likely to get answered anytime soon. Then, there are the “curiosities” that honestly don’t make sense even WHEN someone in charge explains them. Case in point, Super Mario Bros Wonder was a landmark title for Nintendo both upon its announcement in June and its release last week. But not just because the game pushed the bounds of 2D platforming in unique ways but because there was a key change behind the scenes. Specifically, the longtime voice of Mario, Charles Martinet, was replaced. But despite that big departure, we didn’t find out who was the voice of Mario until MUCH later.
