Here's EXACTLY What Mario Says in Super Mario 64 - A BREAKDOWN

One of the most commonly debated lines in gaming history comes from Super Mario 64, where Mario throws Bowser. The phrase that sounds like "So long, Gay Bowser". But what is the actual line? All that is answered in this breakdown.

YOU ARE AWESOME!!! You hit the nail so hard on the head with this. I wondered what he said ever since I played Super Mario 64 growing up, and I think you may have answered it. It makes so much sense to me now that I got to see your breakdown of it.

[@Sly88Frye]

Charles Martinet is correct. He did say Kinga, but Nintendo edited how his phrase would come out so we would sound like he said gay and they did that for marketing to get more to play the game. 😂

[@MirandaLemons]

So true. Nintendo is known for its subtle controversial marketing schemes.

[@Laura-tq1gj]

They know how to play subliminal messages on cartoons, songs, movies, etc.. etc..

As a kid I got “So long-a Bowser” and thought that it was pretty obvious he said that.

"So long De Bowser!" -mario 1996

[@Victini7472]

finally, a proper answer

[@SpeedDeDe]

This was my theory a few months ago thank you!!!!

[@MirandaLemons]

GREAT video and awesome linguistic breakdown of the phrase. 🤯

[@CorbloxOnYT]

UNDERATED!!, awesome video!

[@renegadeking666]

I say SO Long Gay Bowser purely for the memes. I never thought it was gay. But I say it for the lolz

[@VladAngelOfDarkness]

*So long Le Bowser!*

[@Geert890]

So long-a bowser

[@Morcelly]

makes the most sense. people saying "so long king-a bowser" doesn't have the same amount of syllables as the actual game

[@NeilShavit]

The G in long is NOT silent. It's NEVER silent.

4:35 Saved you some time

[@KingYoshi93]

Thanks, it really dragged out for longer than needed

[@-Kendo-]

That's what I always thought he said.

[@thehumenthing8504]

Same, although gay bowser is still pretty funny to me

If you say "so long king-a Bowser" 5 times fast, the misinterpretation of "so long gay Bowser" makes sense

[@thehumenthing8504]

Probably what happened to Charles while saying it

[@terrygriffin1333]

the most banger ass intro i have ever seen!

[@Cam-SB]

It's either So long, gay(happy) Bowser or So long, there Bowser.
I don't hear So long, Kinga Bowser.
And I'm pretty sure Charles wouldn't lie about what he said. He has nothing to gain from lying.

[@KuDastardly]

lol I always thought the "Gay Bowser" was something made up by the internet just for the memez. XD

[@RubenZCrazy89]

The internet needs this video lol
