This is the best summary I could come up with:

Charles Martinet, the voice actor who has portrayed Mario since 1991, is stepping down, Nintendo announced Monday morning.

Besides voicing the world’s most famous plumber, the 67-year-old Martinet also portrayed Luigi, Wario, Waluigi and the baby versions of these characters in more than one hundred titles across the Mario video game franchise.

“He will be stepping back from recording character voices for our games, but he’ll continue to travel the world sharing the joy of Mario.”

According to Polygon, fans also noticed that Martinet’s iconic voice was missing from trailers from two upcoming Nintendo Switch games, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and WarioWare: Move It.

“It has been an honor working with Charles to help bring Mario to life for so many years,” Nintendo wrote.

The company will soon post a video message from Martinet and Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo executive and Mario creator, as a final send off.
