I don't hear what you are saying but I've heard people say Marry-O

And it's weird as shit you made this topic because literally within the last 30-60 minutes I was reflecting on this myself

Because some people were saying it like that before Super Mario 64 came out.

Similarly, I wonder why some people pronounce "melee" like "mealy" when the announcer of Super Smash Bros. Melee shouted it in all of our faces

Also, Pickachu. Remember when Pikachu was like "Picka pick, picka!" Yeah me neither

The first Mario game I remember Mario being pronounced is Super Mario 64. I played Mario long before that, and my natural accent led me to assume mayreo. Hard to kill a habit you learned in childhood.

In the Mario Bros. commercial Luigi says "Mah-ree-oh" while the announcer says "Mary-o".

Cant recall the episode, but I remember Carmella pronouncing it like that in The Sopranos.

Its mostly old people from my experience. I was watching a baseball game the other day and the announcer was talking about him for some reason, and kept saying mare-ee-oh.

Dude it blows my mind that people will straight up change the pronunciation of pieces to make it work with their weird way of saying the name Reese.

It does make me laugh when people mispronounce his name like 5 seconds after hearing him say it.

At least "Mare ee oh" is funny. Explain what reason anyone has to pronounce Wario as "Wore ee oh" instead of "Wah ree oh". He's not a warmonger, he's a bad Mario.
