Kevin Afghani, the new voice behind Mario and characters from the beloved Mario franchise, has written a message on X to say how pleased and proud he is hearing himself in the recently released Mario Kart World. He says that it’s an “unbelievable experience” and that he “cannot believe how lucky” he is to be part of the games that he has grown up with. It is a nice message from someone whose role clearly means a lot to him.
Thanks to SonicGalaxy27 for sending in the news tip!

Be cool if Mario Kart World had rival interactions with dialogue like Sonic Racing Crossworlds.
He is very excited to voice 4 characters in a new Mario Kart game. He did good. I still liked the legend Martinet through.
Is there anyone even playing as Mario. I don’t think I heard his voice once lol
I’ve played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as Mario , once i get the NIntendo Switch 2 I’ll play Mario Kart World as Mario , Charles Martinet is a legend , I’ve grown up on Mario games my entire life
