'''Thomas Spindler''' is a former Nintendo of Europe employee of German nationality involved with translation work. Additionally, he was the voice of [[Wario]] and the [[Thwomp]]s in the Japanese version of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''<ref name=allimdb>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4687877/ IMDb profile]{{better source}}</ref> (the latter using a slowed down version of the former's "laugh" voice sample). 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 for Wario were reused for both ''[[Mario Party]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' (albeit pitched down), as well as ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''.

==Trivia==
*Due to him being German and his voice clips being pitched down for his appearances in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series, players usually heard "D'oh, I missed!" as one of Wario's expressions. It was confirmed to actually be "So ein Mist!" by Spindler himself in a YouTube comment.<ref>Thomas Spindler. "''Wario spricht Deutsch: er sagt (oder besser ICH sage), "So ein Mist!" Die Aufnahme ist in einem Studio des ehemaligen (nicht des neuen NINTENDO-Werksgeländes in Kamitobaguchi) NINTENDO Headoffices in Kyoto unter Leitung von Herrn Tesuka entstanden, wo ich damals zusammen mit meinem französischen Freund und Kolegen Julien Bardakoff (der den Kinopio vertont hat) an den Screen Texten für ein anderes NINTENDO-Project gearbeitet habe.''"

*Due to him being German and his voice clips being pitched down for his appearances in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series, there is some debate as to whether he says "D'oh I missed" or "So ein Mist" as one of his sayings.{{ref needed}} It was confirmed to be the latter by Spindler himself in a YouTube comment.<ref>https://youtu.be/2hcU8Yrqlqk</ref>
*According to [[Julien Bardakoff]], Spindler was chosen to voice Wario in ''Mario Kart 64'' just because he was German and had a deep voice, which was fitting for a "bad guy", due to the stereotype of the German language and accent sounding "angry".<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>
