'''Scott Burns''' is the voice actor who provided the voice of [[Bowser]] 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 gave up the role of Bowser for unknown reasons, but he then briefly returned to the role for ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' in 2008. Despite no longer taking up the role 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 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.

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. | ||

[[ | [[Kenny James]] took on the role in ''[[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 played other roles in the series, such as [[Lubba]]. | ||
