He was also the voice of [[Luigi]] in the Japanese version of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' and again for ''[[Mario Party]]''.<ref name=IDJBSGOTqt>Interview of Julien Bardakoff on '''Game One''': [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-65fxN0wXck Direct du 14/11/2018 (2/4) - Pokemon avec Julien Bardakoff] </ref><ref name=JLBIVFA>Interview of Julien Bardakoff :[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a65mmTtCis&t=1s'''''Parlons VF - Interview de Julien Bardakoff (Pokémon / Super Mario 64 / Banjo-Kazooie / Watch Dogs)'''''] - ''Parlons Vf - Archives''</ref><ref name=ACWJBTVOLUIGI>Interview of Julien Bardakoff : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaOxu7lDsh4 A Chat with Julien Bardakoff - The Voice of Luigi] - ''KotBox''</ref><ref name=JLBIMDB>Julien Bardakoff's [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1867503/ IMDb]{{better source}}</ref><ref name=JLouijtm>[https://www.mobygames.com/person/79970/julien-bardakoff/credits/ Julien Bardakoff - Video Game Credits - MobyGames]</ref> He was replaced by [[Charles Martinet]] in the English version of ''Mario Kart 64'' and all versions of most subsequent games. However, his voice clips were reused for ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. His performance influenced Luigi's voice in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', where the voice is a higher pitched variant of Mario's voice from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Originally, Bardakoff wanted to be [[Toad]]'s voice in ''Mario Kart 64'', but after testing his voice in the studio, [[Koji Kondo]] told him that he has more of Luigi's voice than Toad's.<ref name=ACWJBTVOLUIGI/><ref name=IDJBSGOTqt/>
| |
| **Additionally, Bardakoff was not initially chosen to do a voice; he had to convince the sound programmer of ''Mario Kart 64'' ([[Taro Bando]] or [[Yoji Inagaki]]) with a rare French ''{{wp|Magic: The Gathering}}'' card in order to be let into the studio with Kondo.<ref name=IDJBSGOTqt/><ref name=ACWJBTVOLUIGI/>
