Super Mario Bros. 3

Big Berthas appear in the game Super Mario Bros. 3. Big Berthas always carry Baby Cheeps in their mouth, occasionally letting them out. After a few seconds, the baby will return to its parent's mouth. If Mario or Luigi swim in her way, she may passively eat him (unless he's in frog form).

Nintendo Comics System

Bertha, a character influenced by the Big Bertha species, plays a prominent role in two Nintendo Comics System stories. In her first appearance, Love Flounders, she falls in love with Frog Mario after being tricked by Stanley the Talking Fish. She eventually realizes Stanley was lying, but is consoled by Mario, who states he wants to be friends with Bertha, not lovers. Bertha later reappears in Fins and Roses, this time dating Stanley. She foils Wendy O. Koopa's plans by knocking the Koopa's bomb back at her.
