Mario: The Pickle Story!

Hero of Legend

Many have been confused about what Mario actually says when he begins a stage in Super Mario 64!

For instance, many think he says: "Let's Pickle"!

But he actually says: "Lets-a go"!

Peer-IGN on IGN.com posted a blog on this hilarious issue, some people commented on the blog and one of them said that his/her friend actually thought Mario said "Test-icle"! LMAO!!!

Wasn't it really, really, really, REALLY, really, really obvious that it was 'Lets-a-go'? >>; I mean, seriously, I have problems with hearing, and even I could hear it clear as anything.

Yeah really, I had no trouble hearing Mario say "Lets-a go"!

Funny thing, I had my Mother hear Mario say it, and she actually thought he said "That Tickles"! LMAO!!!

I always thought it was a narrator or something saying 'Popsicle!'. Really... I mean, it's all mumbled...

I think it indeed was the narrator that says it, not Mario. Or perhaps it was changed in the DS version.
Anyway, in the 64 version it also seemed to me that the narrator said "That tickles". I know it doesn't make sence, but what sence does it make that a plumber/docter/tenniser/golfer/footballer/baseballer/party thrower, another plumber/tenniser/etc., a treasure hunter/tenniser/etc. and a dinosaur/tenniser/etc. save a princess from a turtle by grabbing the turtle by its tail and throwing him against bombs while collecting stars on their way to the turtle?

This is actually surprising to me. I had never had any issue sorting out what was being said. This actually makes me want to whip it back out and see how people could hear all this "pickle" nonsense...

I didn't find the blog post all that funny actually...

Although I do agree that the voice is way to difficult to understand. I still don't know for sure what he says after beating a level in NSMB.
