I think these people have pickles in their ears. Man, I can lower the
volume on my stereo all the way down and it still sounds crystal clear
that he says, "Let's a go".

According to NG online, he is saying "Let's-a-go!", but to me it sounds
like "Popsicle". Just me, I guess.

It kind of sounds to me like he's saying "Lots to go!" Like he's trying
to get you to keep playing or something. That's the only thing he says
that
I can't quite make out. Although, I like the concept of Mario shouting
"Testicle!" just after jumping into a picture.

I have heard people say it sounds like "pickle." What the hell is


wrong with you people? Either you have bad audio on your TV or
stereo, or you are deaf. He clearly says, "Let's a-go!" Even if you
couldn't understand it, you could look at the situation and figure it
out. I'm glad I'm not deaf and stupid.

I am hard of hearing and I couldn't understand what Mario usually say
after and before jumping into painting.
One sounds like "Welcome to the show" whenver he get killed or
jumped off, etc.

Actually, he is saying "let's a go". I didn't believe it at first (I
read it at NG online), but the more I listened closely, the more I
realized that it really was what he is saying.

NO! He is saying (if you had listened carefully) "so longy bowser". Due
to his italian accent, he pronounces long as longy ( lon-g-ey ).

There is definitely no "ck" sound in my cartridge. It *plainly* and
irrefutably says "Let's a go". I was seriously think that the sound
may be screwed up in certain cartridges, but then I heard a kid over
at my house say "I'm in a pickle" while jumping in a painting. I
don't know if he heard that on someone elses N64 or just has broken
ears. :)

Actually, it's just "So long-eh, Bowser!" Mario, being the little
Italian stereotype he is, tends to put an "eh" after some syllables.
Like, "It's-a me, Mario!" and "Let's-a go!" and "Mama mia-eh!" (just
kidding :)

I was laughing pretty hard when I found out people interpreted "Let's-a
Go!" as "I'm in a pickle!" Heh heh... I've heard "Popsicle!" and "Wet
sicko!" and "I'm a raccoon!" not to mention some obscene ones.

If you people actually think that he is saying "Let's a go" and think
that everybody's hearing is messed when we hear it say "pickle" or
something to that sort, then post a .WAV of him saying "Let's a go"
from the game. Because I have listened MANY times and all I hear is
"nik-pickle".

confirmed that that is what he says. If you listen very carefully, you
can here him say it.

Wierd! I got it the first time... 'Let's a go' was pretty obvious to me. Of
course, I was hooking it up on the big screen (haven't bought the RF
modulator yet), jury-rigged so that it would connect to my stereo, so it
wasn't THAT hard... :-)

Yeah... the voices seem to change a lot. They must all be the same
person... "Mario Voice" has a credit in the instruction book...

It's very strange, though. When you jump and stuff, his voice is so HIGH!
But when he says phrases, like, "It's-a-me, Mario!", and "Here we
GOOOO...", it sounds different. They were prolly all altered, of course.
:-)

By the way... what is it that Mario yells when he throws Bowser? Something
like, "So long there, Bowser!", but the beginning is all runs together...

I found that the problem rests in the sound system you have the N64
hooked up to. Before I bought my stereo, I played mario on a standard
TV with a little, mid - range, mono speaker (as most TV's have), and
all I could here was the now infamous "nik-pickle". But when the
stereo came, and the N64 got hooked up to it, through the huge
speakers, "let's-a-go" boomed through CLEARLY. What happens is, that
that the "a-go" part of the phrase drops to a much lower octave than
most tiny TV speakers can reproduce. However when a full range speaker
is used, the drop off is heard clearly, and it even kind of echoes a
little.

Hey there sparky, for one thing, I don't even use the speakers on my
TV set, I ALWAYS use my stereo receiver which is a Kenwood AC-3
receiver with bose speakers, and all I hear is "nik-pickle". I don't
believe in using that shitty speakers that are in the TV sets, they
sound terrible. So trust me, my sound system has NO octave problem
what so ever. All I am saying is if you people actually believe that
he is saying "Let's a-go" then all you have to do is post a .WAV file
of him saying that off the game and I will believe you, but until then
I will always believe he is saying "nik-pickle"

I agree Christopher, there is no doubt at all that he is saying Lettsa go,
perhaps the sound system being used is the problem. His phrases come
through clearly on my Sony sound system hook up.

Hey there sparkier sparky! I personally can't make a .wav file, but I know
for a fact that he says "Let's a go!". Think about it. If you were in a
game, and you wanted someone to follow you (actually, the game is supposed
to be from the view of Lakitu's camera) would you say "Nik-pickle" or
"Let's go"? Personally, I think I'd say "Let's go", because if I said
"Nik-pickle" everyone would look at me like "What the hell is that supposed
to mean?", and chances are, they wouldn't go anywhere. They'd just sit there
and contemplate what I could have possibly meant by nik-pickle. The only
way they'd go in that case would be to grab me, tie me up, and figure it I
had a fever or something. I'm not trying to offend, and I'm sorry if I did.
Just listen to it. Record it onto a tape if you have to. Play it over and
over, and have other people listen to it. Tell them "This is what Mario says
when he jumps through a picture and wants you to follow him." Then play it.
Then ask "Now, would you say that was 'Let's a-go' or 'nik-pickle'?"
Chances are you won't get very many nik-pickles...

If all you hear is "nik-pickle" then either your ears are screwed up
or your stereo system isn't as good as you thought it was.

And why would he be saying "nik-pickle"? Your trust in your crappy
stereo system has led you to believe things that are clearly not true.

Exactly. Somepeople apparently have really bad sound systems and refuse
to believe it. (Though they will believe that highly paid professionals
included the phrase "nik-pickle" in the showcase game for the Nintendo
64.) I think I will make a .wav file and post it on this newsgroup just
to show people what he is really saying.

I will throw my hat into this great thread with my version...

I always thought it was the word Nintendo with a Japanese accent...

Nin - teggo!

I can make out Lets-a-go now but come on, it is not the same voice that
says "Press Start" or "Okee-Dokee" or "Mamma Mia"

Listen, I wasn't trying to be an asshole before about this! I did not
mean that they are intentionally trying to make the game say
"nik-pickle", all I am saying is that's what it sounds like to me. I
don't know if it is my DSP setting or what, but on my system it sounds
like "nik-pickle". I would really like for you to post a .WAV, so I
can hear this "Let's a-go" that everyone is talking about. Hell, for
all I know it could be a glitch in the cart, because I have also
hooked it up to my friend's stereo, and still had the same results.
Sorry if I have pissed anyone off earlier, I really didn't mean to.
All I wanted was a .WAV man, sniff sniff. Out of curiuosity, what
kind of stereo system do you have?

I would have never heard the "lets-a-go" if someone here hadn't said
that's what it is. It sort of reminds me of listening to backwards tapes
and hearing what people said you should hear. I think it has more to do
with suggestion than anything else.
"Nik-pickle", however, doesn't seem to make any logical sense. Granted,
it sounds more like this than "lets-a-go." When I played it at TRU (before
I started reading this group and before I got an n64 and played it at home),
the nearest I could figure out was that he was saying "That tickled!" This
would actually make a bit of sense, since he just went through the painting-
warp thingy.
I'm still waiting for Nintendo to clear up the matter.
