However, his voice clips were reused for ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. His performance influenced Luigi's voice in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', where the voice is a higher pitched variant of Mario's voice from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. | ||

*Originally, Bardakoff wanted to be [[Toad]]'s voice in ''Mario Kart 64'', but after testing his voice in the studio, [[Koji Kondo]] told him that he has more of Luigi's voice than Toad's.<ref name=ACWJBTVOLUIGI/><ref name=IDJBSGOTqt/> | *Originally, Bardakoff wanted to be [[Toad]]'s voice in ''Mario Kart 64'', but after testing his voice in the studio, [[Koji Kondo]] told him that he has more of Luigi's voice than Toad's.<ref name=ACWJBTVOLUIGI/><ref name=IDJBSGOTqt/> | ||
**Additionally, Bardakoff was not initially chosen to do a voice; he had to convince the sound programmer of ''Mario Kart 64'' ([[Taro Bando]] or [[Yoji Inagaki]]) with a rare French ''{{wp|Magic: The Gathering}}'' card in order to be let into the studio with Kondo.<ref name=IDJBSGOTqt/><ref name=ACWJBTVOLUIGI/> | **Additionally, Bardakoff was not initially chosen to do a voice; he had to convince the sound programmer of ''Mario Kart 64'' ([[Taro Bando]] or [[Yoji Inagaki]]) with a rare French ''{{wp|Magic: The Gathering}}'' card in order to be let into the studio with Kondo.<ref name=IDJBSGOTqt/><ref name=ACWJBTVOLUIGI/> | ||
