Pratt and Charlie Day, who voices Luigi in the film, went on The One Show to speak about the change.
“There are only a handful of things we’ve ever really heard Mario say, like ‘Wahoo!’ and those types of things,” said Pratt. “‘It’s-a-me! Let’s go!’ So we were trying to find a way to put that into the movie but in away that would be congruent with a storyline of these working class American guys from Brooklyn.”
Pratt said “It’s-a-me! Let’s go!” in a way more congruent with Mario’s traditional speech pattern, showing that he can do the voice some people were expecting. Day also chimed in, noting that Pratt “can’t say ‘It’s-a-me!’ for 90 minutes” because “10 minutes in, we know it’s you.”
Director Aaron Horvath also defended the choice in a recent interview, saying that it “made total sense” and that Pratt is “good at playing a blue-collar hero with a ton of heart.”
