So a character like Mario I could absolutely see having a better case for residuals. It wouldn't be some sort of percentage of sales, just some sort of flat fee per use.

Like I doubt they're calling in Martinet for every release to re-record every "woo!" "ha!" "wee hee!" "let's a go!" and so he's theoretically not getting paid for contributing when he should. (But if they are paying him to re-record, then no, doesn't matter, should be covered by the pay they give him.)

It's very different than a heavy dialogue voice character like Bayonetta where they can't just reuse her snippets for stuff. Like if they used her voice in Smash without re-recording anything though, yeah, she'd deserve something for that.
