Mario’s voice has become iconic in pop culture. Particularly as a defining moment that defines his long pedigree and legacy in the world of video games. During production Movie Super Mario Bros., there was direct criticism of the fact that Pratt was voicing the character and not an actor with Italian ancestry. However, the production company Illumination ensured that the film would retain the spirit of the source material.
But in advance Pratt’s performance is even worse than expected. Despite giving a brief example of what his vocal performance would be, it is noticeable that he does not attempt to imitate Mario’s recognizable voice. In other segments, he seems to be trying to speak with a New York accent, but it is done so badly that it seems generic. It eventually became clear that Pratt was repeating a mistake he had made in off-screen roles he had played in the past. Use your own voice no matter which character you play.

The essence of a character is a fundamental part of the universe that supports. Either because it is an integral element in the imagination of an entire generation, or because of its symbolic nature. The way Mario talks is one of the threads that keep his personality alive inside and outside the gaming console.
