Summary

Mario Kart World marks the first time in 18 years that Samantha Kelly isn't voicing Peach and Toad.
She has now confirmed that she will no longer be playing the characters in the series going forward.
Nintendo only informed her of the recasting yesterday.

Samantha Kelly has voiced 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Princess Peach and Toad ever since Mario Strikers Charged in 2007. Her credits in the Mario series are far too long to list here, with her latest appearance being 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mario & Luigi: Brothership in November 2024.

But now, her time in the Mario series has come to a very unceremonious end. Yesterday, Nintendo informed Kelly that the roles of Peach and Toad have been recast, meaning that it isn't her voice that we can hear in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mario Kart World🎀. She thanks fans for their love and support over the years, as she waves goodbye to the roles on Instagram.

Samantha Kelly Is No Longer The Voice Actor For Peach And Toad In The Mario Games

In a statement, Kelly leaves a message for her fans as she waves goodbye to th🔯e characterꦯs she's played for 18 years.

"Thank you for so many years of friendship and joy," says Kelly. "I’m sad that it’s over,🌄 I truly would have wanted to voice Peach and Toad forever. Nintendo let me know yesterday that they decided to recast th♉ese roles.

She continues,𒊎 "I’m grateful that I got to do these voices for so many years. Peach and Toad are such strong and beautiful characters that I pray they live forever no matter 🔜who voices them. So much love."

This comes shortly after 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Charles Martinet stepped away fr🐽om voicing Mario🔥 after ꦐ30 years in the role. As of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Mario is played by Kevin Afghani, who also provides lines for Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi.

The credits for Mario Kart World do not list any of the characters alongside their actors, so it's unclear who will be voicing Peach and Toad going forward. In any case, this is certainly t𒁏he end of an era, and it's sad to see that Kelly wasn't𝐆 given any warning before Mario Kart World launched without her voice.
