→Quotes: Again, whoever posted this quote DID NOT include the full context, so I'm including the rest of it here. At the very least, if you're only going to include the first half of this quote, adding an ellipses before the close quotations would be helpful… because people keep using this incomplete quote as "evidence" that Nintendo forced him out and that this was all some grand conspiracy behind the scenes.

On August 21, 2023, Nintendo announced that Martinet had stepped down from voicing characters in the ''Super Mario'' franchise, and he would be taking on the role of [[Mario Ambassador]],<ref>https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1693624002982314108</ref> which entails interacting with fans, signing autographs, and performing his ''Super Mario'' voices at events. The final ''Super Mario'' game released prior to this that features his voice was ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'' (although the [[Summer Tour (2023)|2023 Summer Tour]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', which began the day after the announcement of Martinet's retirement, introduced a variant of Mario with a new voice line by him). He was succeeded by [[Kevin Afghani]], who has voiced Mario and Luigi starting in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' and Wario starting in ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]''.<ref>https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-confirms-charles-martinet-is-not-involved-in-super-mario-bros-wonder</ref> However, Martinet's voice clips are still used in [[reissue]]s of games that featured them originally.<ref name=LM2>gonintendo (August 22, 2023).
