no. listen to his pronanciation in the games. its clearly mah rio

its a popular italian name and there is no way that correct pronanciation would be marry oh.

Isn't Mario supposed to be italian or something like that? Of course he pronounces his name the Italian way!!

xD

In Spanish, I'd go for the second choice.

But Mario in English is pronounced Merry-oh (or something like that..)... at least it would be pronounced that way, :p

Gah, why do people put up such stupid posts? Is it really that important to you?

The way Mario pronounces his name in the actual video game and the way individuals

pronounce it can be the same or it can be different. It depends on what country/region the person is

from and what dialect they use. The a sound can be pronounced quite differently between the crap-load of languages that use it. Using phonetics isn't going to help either because British English or Commonwealth English speakers usually pronounce the a as 'ah' ( further back in the throat ) whereas American English usually uses a harsher a sound that is more grating ( higher up in the throat ).

Still, is it that important to you?
