Charles Martinet has had a number of excellent performances over the years as Mario, but I'm most fond of his first major performance: Super Mario 64. Over the years, I've wondered if those original clips have ever been reused or rereleased in a higher sample quality. Turns out, they have - in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

I made this video by comparing the original clips from 64 with Mario and Luigi's voices in Melee. As it turns out, it's not just quality that's the difference, but also some interesting differences (pitch changes, edits, and straight up mysteries) between the three voices. I've listed my findings in this video for you to judge for yourself.

(I realize this is just about the weirdest and most obscure topic I could have for a video, but Super Mario 64 is my favorite game, so that's the way it is.)
