I need to talk about the Mario thing. The first time we heard him speak was N64, when he said "It's a me, Mario," with an accent that is clearly not from New York or New Jersey. And now he's all of a sudden not Italian?
I heard "Hot pickle!" in a completely unrecognizable accent and have been confused ever since. Was it Mario that said that? Lakitu? Whose voice is that if not Mario's and if it is Mario... What the hell? Lol
He says it when you select a level to play.
Right. Listen. Next time I get an emulator going, right, if Mario says "Hot pickle!" And i can't unhear it, I'm gonna come for you.
Haha! I'm so sorry. Plz don't hurt me lol Also, you gotta let me know what you hear when you get around to it! I'm very curious.
It’s “let’s a go!”
Yeah, this is it. I understood him because I'm of Italian descent from New Jersey.
I have tried to hear that instead of "Hot pickle!" for years and I just can't. This feels like another of of those blue dress/yanni things to me.
I heard "Green Needle".
Huh, that's an interesting one. I'm glad I'm not the only one hearing something weird.
Green Needle/Brainstorm is a different sound. It was from a McDonalds toy.
Excuse me?
I heard from qomwhere that it's not it's a me but itsumi, the japanese word for hero but this might be bs
Hero = yuusha
Yeah, mb it was suposed to mean super but aparently the original info was bullshit and the it's a me is official
That's interesting, apparently false, itsumi means something else that I forgot in the time it took me to swipe back over to Lemmy here, but I do like the line of thinking.
Well it's obvious, Mario is the name, Itsumi the surname.
Well, til
