Martinet's voice for Mario would be solidified as standard by its usage in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.

On August 21, 2023, Nintendo announced that Martinet had stepped down from voicing characters in the ''Super Mario'' franchise, and he would be taking on the role of [[Mario Ambassador]],<ref>https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1693624002982314108</ref> which entails interacting with fans, signing autographs, and performing his ''Super Mario'' voices at events.

{{ | {{quote2|I think everybody in the world has so much impact. But you know we artists here at this great SacAnime, we get to talk experience with our fans' reaction to our work over 25 years, 30 years, 31 years for me, and it's a beautiful thing. I wish every electrician could hear 'thank you very much, that plug in the kitchen every day for 30 years, we had toast, my kids had toast in the morning!' Because it is true, we have so much impact on each other, and I think as a world, people are really good. You see so much news about how terrible things are, but human beings are truly truly good. That's what I wish for the world to understand, the beauty of humankind.|Charles Martinet|Sacramento Special Report<ref name="SacAnime Interview">[https://youtu.be/uWQsqw7JSkc: Charles Martinet Interview: "Mario Never Says No"].
