I witnessed the most devastating news in gaming history ever in my life. Charles Martinet, the longtime voice of the titular character and others in the Super Mario games, has officially stepped down after 30 years. He will still be at Nintendo as a Mario ambassador.

This really is the worst year ever. Ever since I read the news, I have been crying hysterically. I don't think I'll get over this. It's so unfair. I thought he was irreplaceable. And I have trust issues and a feeling this would age like milk since an announcement like this happened 2 years ago with Sonic. I'm still pissed over it.

I'm really going to miss you Charles. Thank you for everything. And if you do decide to come back, I will throw a party.

💔😭
