When you see this giant fish, it's time to quiver.  Her attacks are strong, and, as this article will show, she is especially dangerous to attack as well.  Let's see why.

Dinner Time is one of the strongest attacks in the game.  It's not instant death like it is in Mario 3, but it causes 50 damage and so Bertha's a match even for Zombone-the winner there will be whoever attacks first.  But Berthat takes revenge when she gets mad, and oh how scary a move that is.

Attacking Zombone is always a good idea, as you will push him to his demise.  Attacking Bertha may not be such a good idea, as she can do more damage when she has damage on her.  Look at her Revenge move!  On average, she can do 10 damage for each damage counter on her.  So if she has 70 or 80 damage..ya'd better beware.  Causing damage to her is dangerous, and so is letting her live; don't forget Dinner Time.  It's a lose-lose situation, but hopefully it's for your opponent.

If you plan to use Big Bertha in your deck, you will probably want to carry Mushrooms and Rotten Mushrooms so you can control how much damage she has.  Let her take revenge, but keep careful watch of her remaining HP.  If this rare and energy-guzzling card gets knocked out, you'll probably have a tough time getting another in play.

And if you are up against Big Bertha...well, all I can say is don't let that happen.  Try to take out the unevolved Cheep-Cheep really fast.  If that fails, hope your Minions have life insurance.
