@theprof00: Yep just like "je me brosse les dents", you should have heard how we pronounced Iron Knuckles from Zelda.

Nothing new for me.

In my attepts to find Mario's brother, I turned to Wikipedia.  I just found out that Peter Cullen was Mrio's voice in the Donkey Kong cartoon!  %ucking Optimus Prime was Mario!!

All hail the wise one! You speak words of truth, we were all born as brothers of mario and we shall die as brothers of mario. When he appeared he gave poor people lives! He gave their lives meaning! When o when will he bring his software glory down again, for people to enjoy !

Just being silly xD

And when I was younger I called it Brosss aswell, but I`m not native to the English Language.

Didn't rtealize the Mario voice guy did so many of the voices!

I was actually born in France and have lots of relatives there. I spent every summer there from age 2 to 15. Used to love how French people pronounce English and other languages. Especially when my cousin used to talk about Jamal Mashburn and Shaquille Oneal, and Charles Barkley.

The French are horrible at pronouncing English names especially Heather which ends up sounding like He-zer or Keith sounding like Kiss.

Here in Quebec we do have a big accent when speaking English but at least we get most names right.

i feel nerdy inside

Nothing new to me, I got all my facts at mariowiki.com, awesome site!

Their last name is Mario.  Yahoo has it correct.

I remember racing Charles Martinet in Mario Kart at E3 2005.  He wasn't very good at it. 

Most of these are pretty simple for long time Nintendo fans.  They should have really gone deep with facts about how he got his name, why he's Italian, why he wears a red shirt and blue overalls, why a mustache, the clouds and bushes in SMB are just palette swaps, Mario's jump in SMB's is timed according to psychlogical feedback, what characters can steal his hat, etc....
