Martinet himself actually stated he auditioned for the role and got the part of Mario in 1990, not 1994/1995. In the links below, it shows and talks about when he auditioned for the role, it say 1990 he got the role. If someone can please fix that info in the Infobox section near Charles Martinet's name from 1995 to 1990. He also stated it in an interview that can be see on YouTube here:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jcdIqTFgWRA, he stated in the video that he crashed the audition in 1990.

Add the following under "In Other Media":

Mario appears as the in-game announcer in Pac-Man Vs.[1]

(The GameCube game was developed as a collaboration between Namco and Nintendo, hence the inclusion of commentary by Mario. I'm uncertain whether the commentary was retained for the DS or upcoming Switch versions, however.)

Remove semi protected status

The article is safe and vandalism is down substantially. Why continue to deny aspiring editors their God given American right to add original content? The Dark days for video game articles are over on Wikipedia and the time has come for sparkling new insights. Open the flood gate and let the editing begin.96.2.106.146 (talk) 21:27, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"God given American right"? There could be a valid argument for removing protection, but that is not it... Sergecross73 msg me 00:40, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

96, as long as both of us merely remain IP addresses, neither of us will be able to edit protected articles. Wikipedia has every right to create its own rules. In the meantime, your right to edit this article isn't being curtailed; create an account and edit away in good faith. Or as an IP you could on this talk page submit an edit request and say what it is you would like changed; someone will reply and indicate if your edit request is approved. Hope this helps. 63.248.183.82 (talk) 08:52, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Under Appearances, very early on, it says "In the 1983 arcade game Mario Bros., Mario and his younger brother Luigi are portrayed as Italian-American[10]". However reference 10 does not mention the word Italian-American. It simply says Italian. To the Japanese creators 'Italian' would mean someone from Italy, so it's possible when Miyamoto said Mario was Italian, he did not mean that Mario was American. 86.44.140.237 (talk) 16:42, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The actual quote in the source cited is: "Now with Mario, I think with Mario Bros. we had a setting of course that was underground, so I just decided Mario is a plumber. Let's put him in New York and he can be Italian." That would indicate that the game designer thought of Mario as an Italian living in America, or Italian-American in simpler terms.

I believe Italian-American means an American citizen with Italian heritage, as opposed to an Italian in America. I'm basing it off this [1]86.44.140.237 (talk) 21:41, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A Google Ireland Dictionary definition is not going to be considered a reliable source by most Wikipedia editors. You are welcome to open a separate discussion here on this talk page about Italian versus Italian-American, but you will need to establish a consensus among the editors before we can change the article. Thank you. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 00:13, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Change "His younger brother and sidekick is Luigi." to "His fraternal twin brother and sidekick is Luigi" in the first paragraph. Siliconred (talk) 23:14, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
