Boss Bass: Difference between revisions

A '''Boss Bass'''<ref>"''Even if Mario is Super, Boss Bass, the terror of the high seas, can swallow him whole.''" - ''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 8.</ref> is a giant [[Cheep Cheep]] that often patrols the surface of the water. It is also found underwater,<ref>「水面を移動し、ジャンプして<span class="explain" title="おそ">襲</span>いかかってくる。水中にいることもある。」 (''Moving along the water surface, it jumps to attack. It also exists underwater.'') - Shogakukan. 2015. ''Super Mario Bros. Hyakka: Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' section, page 36.</ref> where it is called '''Big Bertha'''.<ref>"''This giant fish is a mouth breeder, so it spits babies out of its mouth at Mario.''" - ''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 9.</ref> Boss Basses and Big Berthas are the original "giant" counterpart to the jumping and swimming Cheep Cheeps, respectively, though this role is currently held by [[Big Cheep Cheep]], which is only found swimming in most platforming games. Their voracious nature is given to [[Cheep Chomp]], another occasional giant counterpart to Cheep Cheeps, which was redesigned to resemble Boss Bass in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and even has the same behavior and English name as Boss Bass in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''.
