| '''Giga Bowser''' is the final boss of Adventure mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. As his name suggests, he is a gargantuan version of [[Bowser]] and can only be fought after completing Adventure Mode in normal or higher difficulty within 18 minutes without using any continues. In the cutscene that follows when the player accomplishes this, Giga Bowser was created when a Bowser trophy fell onto the [[Final Destination]] stage, and then was immediately struck by lightning, right after the player defeats the giant Bowser. This revives the trophy, but the energy surge from the lightning causes the strange mutation that turns Bowser into this monster. Defeating Giga Bowser in Adventure Mode awards the player 100,000 points.
| |
| | |
| Additionally, he is one of the opponents in the final Event Match, with [[Mewtwo]] and [[Ganondorf]] (of the ''[[Pokémon]]'' and ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, respectively) fighting alongside him. Giga Bowser is only playable using an Action Replay.
| |
| | |
| Giga Bowser returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' as Bowser's [[Final Smash]]. Many of Bowser's moves are hugely powered up in this form, his roar is deeper, and yet some of them are actually weaker than that of the regular Bowser (such as the forward smash). He still takes damage from hits but won't flinch, making him possible to KO only by hitting him when off-screen and at the top border of the screen. Because of his large size, he is able to easily attack and KO an opponent. The duration of this move is very short, though there is a hack that allows players to remain as Giga Bowser until they self-destruct (cause themselves to be KO'd).
| |
| | |
| In addition to being much larger than the original king of the Koopas, Giga Bowser looks far more ferocious, with a larger body, a spikier scaled shell, surprisingly more muscular physique, and a new curve to his lengthened horns. As well as being an intimidating sight to behold, Giga Bowser is far more difficult to battle than his smaller counterpart. | |
| | |
| Giga Bowser possesses the same moveset as Bowser, but several moves have an 'elemental' effect; for example, his down smash can freeze opponents, and his forward smash is explosive.
| |
| | |
| Giga Bowser is officially considered to be a ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' character, not a ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' character. In the game, his icon is not a mushroom (as is the case with ''Mario'' characters), but a SSB symbol (as is the case with SSB characters). In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' the Final Smash of Bowser has a mushroom icon, but this is because it is a move of Bowser's and not a separate entity like the Giga Bowser in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.

| |''An even more imposing figure than the original King of the Koopas. Giga Bowser is roughly twice the size of his scaly, fire-breathing, spike-studded Super Smash Bros. Melee counterpart. Predictably, this monstrous creature's offensive and defensive powers are a grade higher than those of regular Bowser. Good luck defeating this colossus!

| |''Bowser, transformed into the terrible and brutal form first seen in Super Smash Bros. Melee. While in this form, he's invulnerable--he takes no damage and cannot be budged. His appearance is so fierce, it's as if he doesn't even belong in the Smash Bros. universe. He cannot maintain this form for long, so dealing out damage efficiently is key.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Giga Bowser's trophy erroneously states that he won't take any damage, which he does (however, he doesn't flinch).
| |
| *Giga Bowser does not have a swim animation; when the [[player]] jumps into the water, Giga Bowser will fall right through it and get KO'd.
| |
| *Giga Bowser can't grab items, but he can still have the effects of certain items, such as the [[Bunny Hood]] and [[Superspicy Curry]]. Oddly, he's not affected by [[Metal Box]]es, [[Super Mushroom]]s, nor [[Poison Mushroom]]s.
| |
| *Giga Bowser's ''Brawl'' trophy lacks the game information, "'''GCN''' ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''." This is quite odd since his trophy information mentions that game. A possible reason for this is that Giga Bowser was never playable (except through hacking) until ''Brawl'', or for the fact that it's Bowser's Final Smash trophy.
| |
| *For some odd reason, Giga Bowser is the only transformation [[Final Smash]] that has a victory animation. Through hacking it is possible to fight as Giga Bowser through the whole battle and even fight as [[Wario-Man]] or other transformation type final smash characters but with everybody except Giga Bowser at the end, on the victory ceremony the game will freeze. Since Giga Bowser is really tall, the [[player]] can see his legs and a little bit of his hands clapping together (if the player lost), exactly what [[Bowser]] does; Giga Bowser can also do first place animations.
| |
| *Ironically, Giga Bowser's ''Melee'' Trophy description ends with the line "Good luck defeating this colossus!" The player needs to have already defeated Giga Bowser in order to obtain the Trophy in the first place.
| |
| *Giga Bowser's trophy pose in ''Melee'' is similar to Mario's trophy pose in ''Brawl''.
