| Tara Strong's only credited ''Super Mario''-related 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. She is commonly mistakenly thought to have also voiced [[Lemmy Koopa|Hip Koopa]] as well, with her official website stating so at one point; Hip Koopa was actually voiced by [[Stuart Stone]].<ref>According to ''The Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoons'' by Jeff Lenburg. Published October 1st, 2008.</ref> In addition to that, her official website once credited her as the uncredited voice of [[Bowser Jr.]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20071001122021/https://www.tarastrong.com/ Tara Strong Official Website], excerpt from October 1, 2007. Accessed July 16, 2022.</ref>, but this detail has been removed. According to game's credits, Bowser Jr's voice is actually done by [[Dolores Rogers]]. | | Additionally, Tara Strong has been said to have been the uncredited voice to [[Bowser Jr.]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', as seen on her official site.<ref>[http://www.tarastrong.com tarastrong.com] – Navigate to 'Filmography', near the bottom in a games section it states " |
| | | Super Mario Sunshine- "Bowser Jr.""</ref> However, this detail is most likely wrong, as in the credits to the game, the voice of Bowser Jr. is credited to [[Dolores Rogers]], who also voiced him in various other games. |
| 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>
