Beta
NOTE: These sounds were only used in the game's beta, and are not used in the final game. Mario's voice clips in the beta are samples of Mel Blanc's voice almost entirely taken from the Warner Bros. Sound Effects Library and Voice Spectral Vol. 1. The general consensus is that they were placeholder sounds that were eventually replaced with Charles Martinet's voice clips.
