Okay, maybe it has something to do with him being loopy from all those years of using his head to break floating bricks.
But if with all of his crossover success (the Bob Hoskins movie aside), you'd think he'd have learned to communicate better. Instead, he doesn't say much aside from "Whoo hoo/yahoo", "Let's-a-go", "It's Mario Time!"
And when him and Sonic were in Vancouver promoting their newest Olympic game, did Sonic have to act as his translator?

Years of drug abuse have fried his poor, plumber brain. I'm telling you, people, Mario is a drug addict!

English is his second language and, whatever they speak in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mushroomspeak I guess, is his third. In Italian, I'm sure Mario is quite eloquent.

He's not hitting the blocks with his head. His arm is clearly extended above his head to punch the blocks.
Plus, play games like Paper Mario, in which he clearly talks quite heavily. It may SOUND like a monosyllabic sound, but he is actually an exposition wonder.

"Welcome new Galaxy!"
Does say other things, they just usually make no sense.

It's not like Mario needs to be an eloquent speaker. He just needs to go stomp on Goombas and throw fireballs at Hammer Bros. and such. Even in his RPG's he usually did his communication through actions. And that's always something I liked about the Mario games. They don't try to have these big elaborate stories. Unlike certain other mascots that have gone down the crapper (*cough*Sonic*cough*). Though I always found the Italian accent from Mario 64 and on weird. Mario isn't from Italy. He's from Brooklyn.  |

Next Mario game should have him acting like the JTG to Luigi's Shad for no reason. |

And what exactly is his deal? Is he a plumber from the Mushroom Kingdom? Is he from modern America and somehow got transported to an alternate dimension like in the movie? How did he and Luigi get involved with the Princess and Bowser? What exactly is a Thwomp?

It's actually closer to a duck and a shoe eating each other. |

The real question is, why does he even talk at all?
His voice sucks so bad.

His CD-I coice was so bad that he decided to not talk ever again.

Real answer:
Nintendo is a Japanese company where games are made by Japanese people who don't speak English as a first language, so it makes sense that Mario's English vocabulary be as limited as possible so that everyone, even people who don't speak English fluently, can understand him.
Non-real answer:

Whenever you get a 1up in the GBA version of Super Mario World he says "Lucky." Although it sounds more like "Yucky." 1up mushrooms must not be as tasty.
