Trivia[]
There has been high speculation in social media that this laugh was performed by Charles Martinet, the official voice of Mario since 1996. This may seem plausible, considering it matches the character's tone of voice, and that variations of this sound effect were used for Boos (sped up and very high pitched) and Bowser (slowed down and very low pitched) in Super Mario 64. However, as of this writing, no one at Sound Ideas Canada Ltd. has come forth to confirm this fact.
