'''Giga Bells''' are power-ups that appear in the ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. A Giga Bell transforms [[Mario]] into [[Giga Cat Mario]], but its power can be accessed only by collecting [[Cat Shine]]s. Unlike most power-ups in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]], Giga Bells are capable of speech. They resemble standard [[Super Bell]]s but are much larger, with cat ears and whiskers, green eyes, and a more orange coloration in their active state, with their dormant state depicting them as grayed-out and stone-like. When they become available for use, they emit a ring similar to but much deeper than that of Super Bells, in addition to a low-pitched meow.

After [[Bowser Jr.]] covers [[Bowser]] with black [[goop]] and turns him into [[Fury Bowser]], the goop spreads throughout [[Lake Lapcat]], including onto the three Giga Bells of the area. Each Giga Bell has four major islands surrounding it, which altogether comprise each of three major regions: the Lakeside, Ruins, and Wasteland. The Lakeside region is available to explore after Mario collects the "Make the Lighthouse Shine" Cat Shine on [[Fur Step Island]]. After Fury Bowser is defeated once, the Ruins region and its Giga Bell appear. After he is defeated three times, the Wasteland region and its Giga Bell appear.  

Each Giga Bell rests on a pedestal with a short staircase leading to the top. Several [[coin pile]]s appear on the highest step. When a Giga Bell is first encountered, it is corrupted by black goop, and Mario takes damage if he touches it. Mario must collect a specific number of Cat Shines to cleanse all available Giga Bells of goop, which is displayed if Mario stands in front of it. This number is initially five, and it grows after each time Fury Bowser is defeated, changing to 15, then 20, then 40, and finally 50 Cat Shines required to activate the Giga Bells. After all five missions have been completed on an island, leaving and returning to it displays the text "(number) [[File:SM3DWBF Cat Shine Outline.svg|x18px]] to awaken (Japanese: 目覚めよ！ギガベル, ''Mezameyo! Giga Beru'')," indicating how many Cat Shines are left to collect to activate any available Giga Bells.

When enough Cat Shines are collected to meet the required number, their power removes some goop from every available Giga Bell, revealing a stone-like appearance. The Giga Bells then remain inactive until Fury Bowser rises out of the [[Fury Sun]] and begins rampaging. Once a rampage begins, any available Giga Bells immediately become available for use, signified by a cutscene showing them activate and a bright light appearing over each one. If a rampage ends before Mario collects a Giga Bell, it returns to its inactive state. If Mario collects a Giga Bell during a rampage, a cutscene showing him transforming from [[Cat Mario]] into Giga Cat Mario plays, regardless of the power-up form he was in before the cutscene. This enables him to battle Fury Bowser directly.

In the final boss battle of the campaign, [[Giant Bowser]] gathers all three Giga Bells to prevent Mario from using them and encases them in a crystal ball. Mario must ram [[Plessie]] into this ball multiple times until it breaks. Plessie and Mario then simultaneously collect all three Giga Bells, at which point Plessie enters his own Cat form, defeating Bowser and returning him to normal.

After the main story of the campaign is completed, all three Giga Bells are completely cleansed of goop. Their tops are then accessible, and [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing atop a Giga Bell in this state rewards the player with a Super Bell.
