Big's gameplay is entirely unique, centered around fishing for his friend Froggy. His stages require patience and mastery of the fishing mechanics. He can cast his line, reel in fish, and has a powerful body slam attack. The Power Rod upgrade increases his fishing strength, making it easier to reel in larger or more resistant fish. The Life Ring increases the size of his lure, making it easier to attract Froggy. To succeed with Big, you need to find Froggy in the water, cast your line accurately, and then carefully manage the tension meter while reeling him in. Avoid reeling too fast or letting Froggy swim too far, as this can break your line. His stages are a calm contrast to the high-speed action of other characters, focusing on a methodical and relaxing (or frustrating, depending on your patience) fishing experience.
