| Super Mario–related role(s) | Translator, temporary voice actor for Wario and Thwomps |
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.
