Following Nintendo's recent announcement that Charles Martinet was stepping down from voicing Mario in the games, Martinet and Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto released a special video to clarify his new role as a "Mario Ambassador."

In the video, Martinet confirms that while he will no longer be the voice of Mario in future games (starting with Super Mario Bros. Wonder), his new ambassador role will involve him traveling the world to meet fans at events and continuing to perform the voices of Mario and other characters like Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi.

The announcement serves to reassure fans who were saddened by the news, making it clear that they will still have opportunities to hear his iconic voice and interact with him in person. Essentially, his performance is moving from the games to live community events.
