*"''To cut a long story short, I had just lost my job and was scanning the classifieds. Then I saw this open casting call. They needed a bunch of mushrooms for an upcoming {{wp|Atari}} game. As it turns out, of course, the game was ''{{wp|Centipede (video game)|Centipede}}''.''" | |||
*''"[When I worked at Atari,] we got shot at, you know, a lot. There were no special effects back then, no post-production trickery. I was scared as hell, but a job's a job, you know? Anyway, once that was all done, [[Namco]] came calling. They were putting together {{wp|Pac-Man|a maze game}} and there were some parts available for snack foods. I tried out, but apparently mushrooms give poor old [[Pac-Man]] {{wp|Diarrhea|the trots}}.''" | |||
*''"I absolutely didn't think I'd ever get another chance like that. But then I got a call from my agent saying that [[Nintendo]] wanted to do a sequel to ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' The part called for [[Super Mushroom|mushrooms]] that were going to be eaten so [[Mario|the main character]] would grow impossibly huge. I said I didn't do that kind of thing. But then he said there was another part - the Mushroom retainer. That part actually had a line, which was a really big thing in those days. And so when I went down there, I went right into [[Shigeru Miyamoto|Mr. Miyamoto]]'s office and started delivering the line. "[[:File:Mushroom_Retainer_SMB1_W1-4_rescued.png|The Princess is in another castle! Another castle!]]" And he just loved it."'' | |||
*''"In those early days [with ''Super Mario Bros.''], we were like one big family, doing what we thought would be a well-liked independent game. But it just exploded. Instant popularity, wild parties, and at one point it was me and three of the girls from ''{{wp|Wizards & Warriors}}'' in a hot tub, one New Year's Eve. And we were just buck-ass naked."'' | |||
*''"I was so thrilled when they told me [about my role in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'']. What I didn't expect was how hard it was to do the athletic stuff. Mario, [[Luigi]] - those guys were total professionals. The stress of being a playable character got to me. And that's when I started drinking, a lot. And everybody knew, but it was acceptable in Japan, you know? To just go out after work and party."'' | |||
*''"What was worse [than ''Super Mario Bros. 3''] was ''[[Super Mario World]]''. I wasn't asked back for that at all. [[Yoshi]] had stolen my thunder and I resented him for years. Nintendo still kept me around, you know, but out of the spotlight. In retrospect, I think they were trying to lighten my workload so I could get my life together. But it just made me worse, drove me into a bad depression. I think that was the lowest point in my life."'' | |||
*''"[During the early 90s, I was working] bit parts mainly... [but] it got much better with ''[[Mario Party]]''. It wasn't a starring role, but I was all over the game. But I was pretty much off my head the entire time we were shooting ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. People would pass my square and I'd just take my pants off and throw them at the guys. I thought it was a riot, but they didn't think it was funny 'cause I'd usually wet myself by that time. Then I'd go home and it would just be awful there too, because my marriage was falling apart. I hadn't slept in the same bed with my wife for about three months. And finally, one day I come home early from the set of ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and I find her in the sack with [[Bob-omb]]."'' | |||
*''"I knew we were having problems, but here's my wife, you know, sleeping with some [other] guy. And we went through a rather messy divorce. I'm paying alimony. Nintendo said I had to go to rehab or I was fired. I was so frustrated that I punched [[Chain Chomp]] and broke my hand [doing it]. And he was my best friend. I checked into the mental hospital and got clean. I came back to host ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' on [[Nintendo GameCube|the Cube]] and I'll be back in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' this year. I've got a new lease on life!"'' | |||
