- —Giga Bell, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
The Giga Bell is a power-up exclusive to the Bowser's Fury mode of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. It transforms Mario into Giga Cat Mario, although its power can only be accessed by collecting Cat Shines.
By default, the Giga Bell resembles the standard Super Bell, but is much larger and has cat ears, whiskers, green eyes, a more orangish coloration, and a much deeper ring. It also rests on a golden, Sphinx-like pedestal with a short staircase leading up to the top, sometimes with a few stacks of coins resting beneath. When it has been corrupted by Fury Bowser, however, the bell becomes black and spiky, with a dark purple aura surrounding it, and it appears to be asleep. When the Giga Bell rings, a low-pitched meowing sound can be heard.
A total of three Giga Bells exist throughout Lake Lapcat, each one surrounded by its own small group of islands.
