Giuseppe, The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Giuseppe is a minor character in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. He is a middle-aged citizen of Brooklyn who is an acquaintance of Mario and Luigi, and he plays an arcade game called Jump Man (which is heavily based on the Donkey Kong arcade game) at Punch-Out Pizzeria. He physically resembles the original design of Mario from the Donkey Kong arcade game, including the matching red flat cap and a pair of red slacks with suspenders, along with a blue short-sleeved dress shirt, black tie, brown leather shoes and grayish brown hair, eyebrows and mustache.

In the film, Giuseppe, overhearing the brothers while playing Jump Man, praises Mario and Luigi's Italian accents in their Super Mario Bros. Plumbing commercial and performs a jump while shouting "Wahoo!" in a similar manner to Mario in the games. He is later seen in the crowd of townsfolk cheering for the brothers after they defeat Bowser.

Giuseppe speaks with the voice Mario has in the Super Mario game series portrayed by Charles Martinet, who provides the voice for Giuseppe in the film in English, Catalan,[1] Croatian, Danish, Dutch (including Flemish[2]), Finnish,[3] French (Canadian[4] and European), German,[5] Hindi, Hungarian,[6] Italian,[7] Japanese,[8] Lithuanian, Taiwanese Mandarin,[9] Norwegian, Portuguese (Brazilian and European[10]), Serbian,[11] Slovenian, Spanish (European[12] and Latin American), Swedish,[13] Thai,[14] Turkish, Ukrainian,[15] and Vietnamese.[16] However, the Japanese dub reuses Giuseppe's English line rather than being spoken in Japanese. He is instead voiced by Jalal Al-Hajrsi in Arabic, Jan Vondráček in Czech, Tang Shuiyu in Chinese Mandarin, and Sergei Koleshnya in Russian.
