==Trivia==
*Mike Vaughn recorded only one session in October of 2009 for ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', and those same audio files have been reused for many titles that Iggy and Ludwig have appeared in since. Mike Vaughn has publicly called this action a theft by Nintendo as the usage release signed by both parties prohibited Nintendo from using those files in advertisements or promotions. While not specifically restricting usage in future games, Vaughn admits, "who in their right mind would have thought that a major game producer would use the same audio in future titles? Seems like a great way to make really bad, repetitive games to me."<ref>[http://www.blogtalkradio.com/cloverleafradio/2013/12/22/cloverleaf-radio-presents-actor-mike-vaughn-super-mario-bros Cloverleaf Radio Presents: Actor Mike Vaughn "Super Mario Bros."!!].

*Vaughn, along with [[Lani Minella]], is credited for providing the voice of the Koopalings in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. However, the Koopalings borrow voice clips recorded from sessions of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', and thus Iggy and Ludwig are actually voiced by [[Ryan Higgins]] and [[David Goldfarb]] respectively. Later ''Mario & Luigi'' and ''Mario & Sonic'' games would correct these errors.
