Thomas Spindler is a former Nintendo of Europe employee of German nationality involved with translation work. Additionally, he was the voice of Wario and the Thwomps in the Japanese version of Mario Kart 64[1] (the latter using a slowed down version of the former's "laugh" voice sample). He was replaced by Charles Martinet in the English version of Mario Kart 64 and all versions of most subsequent games. However, his voice clips for Wario were reused for both Mario Party and Mario Party 2 (albeit pitched down), as well as Mario Kart: Super Circuit.
Works
- Super Mario 64 – German Translation[1]
Portrayals
- Mario Kart 64 – Wario, Thwomps (Japanese version)[1]
- Excitebike: Bun Bun Mario Battle – Wario (in-game only)
- Mario Party – Wario[1]
- Mario Party 2 – Wario[1]
- Mario Kart: Super Circuit – Wario[1]
Trivia
- Due to him being German and his voice clips being pitched down for his appearances in the Mario Party series, players usually heard "D'oh, I missed!" as one of Wario's expressions. It was confirmed to actually be "So ein Mist!" by Spindler himself in a YouTube comment.[2]
- According to Julien Bardakoff, Spindler was chosen to voice Wario in Mario Kart 64 just because he was German and had a deep voice, which was fitting for a "bad guy", due to the stereotype of the German language and accent sounding "angry".[3]
