some American English dialects pronounce "merry", "marry", and "Mary" all differently and I would be interested to learn how this correlates with their native pronunciation of Mario as well.

Italian Americans who say things like "proshoot" and "mutzarrel" are objectively wrong in almost all of their pronunciations

just about everyone i've heard say it in my native UK pronounces it like marry-oh. incl me.

although i've also heard a lot of people pronounce yoshi with the 'yosh' rhyming with josh. i don't do that. gently caress josh
