Here’s the first preview video for the Kirby Star Allies Original Soundtrack album, releasing in February in Japan:

Charles Martinet

Charles Martinet is a name any Nintendo fan is familiar with: he’s the very one who has been voicing Mario for several decades already. He’s voiced Mario (and many other charaters) in many, many games… 100 as of December 7th, to be precise!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was indeed the 100th game where Charles Martinet voiced Mario, and that’s something that actually earned him a world record: the one for most video game voiceover performances as the same character.

Here’s a picture of him receiving his award:

Hey folks, I wrote a thing. Ugh, emotions! Thank you all for your support of amazing content from big publishers to the #Nindies alike. It's been an honor to work with and be a part of this amazing community. Be good to each other and look forward to revealing more in 2019! 🙏 pic.twitter.com/8YKp8Pdccb
