Kevin Afghani, a lifelong Nintendo fan, has become the new voice of Mario, Luigi and Wario, taking over from Charles Martinet with 2023’s Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and later voicing other characters in titles like Mario Kart World, WarioWare: Move It! and Super Mario Party Jamboree. He’ll make his first U.S. appearance at Charlie’s ComicCon in Estero, Florida, where he’ll meet fans and participate in a panel.
