| ==History==
| |
| [[File:Bertha.PNG|thumb|left|150px|[[Frog Mario|Frog Luigi]] encountering a Big Bertha in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''.]] | |
| ===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
| |
| Big Berthas appear in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Big Berthas always carry [[Baby Cheep]]s in their mouth, occasionally letting them out. After a few seconds, the baby will return to its parent's mouth. If [[Mario]] or Luigi swim in her way, she may passively eat him (unless he's in [[Frog Suit|frog form]]).

| ===''Nintendo Comics System''===
| |
| '''Bertha''', a character influenced by the Big Bertha species, plays a prominent role in two ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' stories. In her first appearance, [[Love Flounders]], she falls in love with [[Frog Mario]] after being tricked by [[Stanley the Talking Fish]]. She eventually realizes Stanley was lying, but is consoled by Mario, who states he wants to be friends with Bertha, not lovers. Bertha later reappears in [[Fins and Roses]], this time dating Stanley. She foils [[Wendy O. Koopa]]'s plans by knocking the Koopa's bomb back at her.
