However, the title's voice acting was panned by many, including [[wikipedia:Gamespot|Gamespot]] reviewer [[wikipedia: Jeff Gerstmann|Jeff Gerstmann]], who criticized the title as having "some of the lousiest voice-over work to be found on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. None of the voices fit particularly well.... [Bowser and [[Bowser Jr.]]] are completely miscast and downright disappointing."<ref>Gerstmann, Jeff. [http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/action/supermariosunshine/review.html Super Mario Sunshine Review]. [http://www.gamespot.com GameSpot]. Retrieved March 3, 2009.</ref> Scott continued to voice Bowser in later games, giving unique grunts, laughs, and reactions to a character whose voice in previous Nintendo games had consisted only of sampled sounds. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', he also voiced [[Shrowser]]. | ||
