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> Following this role, Scott continued to feature in later games with the role of Bowser, giving him a series of throaty grunts, laughs, and exclamations new to the character who had previously simply roared and growled. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', he also voiced [[Shrowser]]. | ||

[[ | [[Kenny James]] took on the role of [[Bowser]] in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. Amidst these titles, however, Scott retook the role in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' and his voice clips from previous sports titles are recycled in later ones such as ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'' (where James instead plays [[Dry Bowser]]) and ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]''. Since 2010, Burns has also played various other roles in the series, such as [[Lubba]]. However in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', he also shared the role of [[Bowser]] with [[Kenny James]]. | ||
