-Tara Strong's only credited ''Mario''-relevant role is providing the voice for [[Iggy Koopa|Hop Koopa]] in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series, and is commonly thought to have also voiced [[Lemmy Koopa|Hip Koopa]] (who was actually voiced by [[Stuart Stone]]). However, her official website once said that she was also the uncredited voice to [[Bowser Jr.]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'',<ref>[http://www.tarastrong.com tarastrong.com] &ndash; One could navigate to 'Filmography', and near the bottom in a games section was where this credit was once listed as "Super Mario Sunshine - 'Bowser Jr."</ref> but this detail was removed, as in the credits to the game, the character's voice is credited to [[Dolores Rogers]], who voiced him in various later games. She also made a Vine where she met [[Charles Martinet]], the current voice actor for [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]].

+Strong was critical of the casting decisions for ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', condemning major film studios' decision to cast celebrity actors to voice characters for animated films instead of actors trained specifically for voice work.<ref>https://twitter.com/tarastrong/status/1578126153222529024?s=20&t=hjffnqvYzAs6Pv0Ho4P5UQ</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/tarastrong/status/1578156922158518273</ref> On Twitter, she encouraged users to share positive stories regarding [[Charles Martinet]] in support of him<ref>https://twitter.com/tarastrong/status/1578208910988623872?s=20&t=hsbG4nJN3DKOfe_Zt0NdKQ</ref>, garnering a positive reaction from Martinet.<ref>https://twitter.com/CharlesMartinet/status/1578402412347510784</ref>
