Kenny James. I'm the uh voice of Bowser
0:02
uh for the last 20 years, and these
0:06
are my questions. You voiced Bowser in
0:09
over 60 games since Super Mario Strikers
0:11
in 2005. Which has been your favorite to
0:19
That was easy. While Jack Black voiced
0:22
Bowser in Super Mario Brothers movie,
0:24
some of your previously recorded words
0:25
were used. That's true.
0:28
When did you find out they actually made
0:30
the cut? Uh, a fan told me.
0:34
Right after the movie came out and then
0:37
somebody put it on IMDb, so I have to
0:40
believe it, right? It's on IMDb.
0:44
You are now the only voice actor for
0:46
Bowser and Games as far as we know. But
0:49
for a while, your predecessor, Scott
0:51
Burns, occasionally reprised the role.
0:54
Can you take us behind the scenes on why
0:56
these decisions were made? I think it
0:59
was union versus non-union.
1:02
Scott was union and the union said, "Uh,
1:06
don't do that no more." That's what I
1:10
Is that true? I don't know. At
1:12
conventions, fans bring you a lot of
1:14
games to sign. Which one seems to be the
1:16
most popular among fans? Uh, any that
1:20
surprise me when they come across table?
1:23
No, I don't get surprised by any of
1:25
them, but uh Super Mario or or uh um
1:32
what is it? Um Mario and Luigi, Bowser's
1:35
Inside Story. I see that one a lot. And
1:39
I see a lot of Galaxy and I see a lot of
1:43
So, you got that. I see a lot of cart
1:45
games come across. In July, Nintendo
1:49
clarified Mario and Peach are just good
1:51
friends. Did you ever get a different
1:53
indication in the booth of different
1:57
No. I have no idea what Miiamoto thinks
2:01
or does. I have no clue.
2:04
Your first mainline appearance Bowser
2:06
was Super Mario Galaxy.
2:08
Oh yeah, I brought this up before. Not
2:10
true. It was Super Mario Strikers.
2:16
inspiration for the upcoming Galaxy
2:19
What is essential for Nintendo and
2:21
Elimination to carry over from the game
2:27
how cool it was to be upside down half
2:30
of the time because Galaxy was great
2:33
because you were constantly running
2:35
around things, you know, especially on
2:39
the boss levels, which there were many
2:41
Bowser levels. So, that's what I hope
2:45
they bring to it. And that would be me
