Runner3 releases on the Nintendo Switch later this month, but that doesn’t mean that Choice Provisions is out of surprises to share. Earlier today, they made an announcement on their Twitter, where they revealed that “the Narrator has decided to take matters into his own hands–er, feet”. The Narrator, now a playable character, is none other than Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario. Martinet also confirmed the news on his Twitter, so we’ve included both tweets for you down below.

Oh my god, this is one of the greatest things to ever happen.
Since charles is now technically a video game character, i can say this joke with some actual merit, CHARLES MARTINET 4 SMASH BABYYYYY (jk but a trophy would be hilarious)
I want that trophy too!
I absolutely love it! My family and I are going to the Louisville Supercon this summer. CM is supposed to be there. Hopefully I can get some Runner3 swag for him to auto!
LOL! I’m surprised they haven’t done this many times with various Nintendo employees. Such as Shigeru Miyamoto and Reggie.
