posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Voice actress Samantha Kelly revealed on her Instagram account on Saturday that Nintendo has replaced her as the voice of Princess Peach and Toad in the Super Mario game franchise as of the release of the Mario Kart World game, which shipped on June 5 for Nintendo Switch 2.
Kelly did not mention who replaced her in the roles. The credits for Mario Kart World do not specify the new voice actor(s) for Peach or Toad.
Prior to Kelly, Jen Taylor previously voiced the characters since the Mario Golf game in 1999, though Nicole Mills voiced Princess Peach in some series titles. Kelly began voicing Princess Peach and Toad in Mario Strikers Charged in 2007.
Mario Kart World debuted on the same day of the debut of Nintendo's new Switch 2 console on June 5.
