'''Scott Burns''' is the voice actor who provided the voice of [[Bowser]] as well as the [[Pianta]]s starting with ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' in 2002 and continuing until ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' in 2007. Nearly a year following this release, Burns stopped voicing Bowser for unknown reasons, but he then returned to the role for ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' in 2008. Despite no longer being the voice of Bowser, Burns has kept in touch with the series as one of the announcer voices in ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]''. | |||

However, the title's voice acting 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.

Retrieved March 3, 2009.</ref> Despite such criticism, Nintendo continued to hire the voice actors from ''Super Mario Sunshine''. Following this role, Scott began voicing Bowser without fail, giving him a series of throaty grunts, laughs, and exclamations new to the character who had previously simply roared and growled. | ||
