Regarding this post, I'm not sure if someone had told you already, but Mario has actually spoken Spanish before! I could be wrong, but I believe that's actually Charles Martinet's native language :)
There's a Mario Golf commercial in Spanish that has Martinet speaking in the language. So canonically, Mario would be able to speak to you and understand you in Spanish!
Oh my, I didn't know!!! 😭😭😭 Actually, I kinda remember hearing that Charles Martinet did live in my country? But you know, since I'm totally used to hearing him speaking English and Italian, that information kinda... left my brain? 😅
I just checked and he moved to Barcelona when he was 12 and spent a few years there with his family, so you're right! He can totally speak my language, OMG this makes me so happy!!! 😭😭😭
And the commercial has truly made me cry. I had never seen it and hearing him speaking my language is just. Too much 😭😭😭

It's very simple, but also funny and endearing!!! 🥺🥺🥺 I'll provide a quick translation below!
"¡Bueno, ahora me toca a mí!" = "Well, now it's my turn!"
"¡Ay! ¡Se cayó mi Game Boy!" = "Ouch! My Game Boy fell!" (this honestly has me crying out of pure emotion OMG he sounds so damn CUTE!!! 😭😭😭)
After "Va bene!" (Italian for "All right!"), he says, "¡Ahora sí!" = "Now it's time!"
And after "Mamma mia!", he says, "¡Qué mano derecha!" = "What a right hand!"
I swear my heart is filled with sheer joy and emotion right now 😭😭😭 After all these years, I never thought I'd hear Mario actually speaking Spanish, but still... here we are! 🥺 I truly couldn't be happier right now, that was so adorable and fun and endearing!!! 😭😭😭
Thank you soooo much for sharing this with me, @akiiame-blog!!! You were so kind and sweet, reaching out to tell me about this!!! 🥺🥺🥺 From the bottom of my heart: thank you 🫂 You've truly made my day 💖✨
