I take it you haven't seen Wall-E, Mr. Fan.
It works in WALL-E because most of the movie is silent. You can't have a silent protagonist with everyone else talking around him. That would be weird. Plus we have a reason for WALL-E silence, he's a robot. But Mario's human, and if there are other humans in this movie talking but he isn't everyone is going to be wondering why.
It worked in Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario RPG, the Paper Mario series, Mario and Luigi, etc.
Besides, the times we see Mario talk are annoying to hear. I'd rather have Mario silent instead of a chatterbox.
Let's review Mario's voice actors over the years.
Peter Cullen- Can't tell, I haven't seen Saturday Supercade.
Captain Lou- He's dead, so he couldn't do Mario.
Walker Boone- Meh.
Marc Graue- NO!!!!!!
Charles Martinet- He's probably the best choice, and Martio (Martinet + Mario) is usually silent.
Anyway, I was thinking that during the movie, Luigi could say something like, "Hey, Bro. How come you never talk?" and then Mario could just shrug his shoulders.
