Giga Bowser (ギガクッパ, Giga Koopa) is a gargantuan, powered-up version of Bowser. He first appeared as the hidden final boss in Super Smash Bros. Melee's Adventure Mode and as one of the final opponents the player must face in Event Mode. He eventually made his semi-playable debut in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as Bowser's Final Smash. While the character he is based on, Bowser, is from the Mario universe, Giga Bowser is considered a part of the Super Smash Bros. universe, due to having debuted in the Super Smash Bros. series.
In SUASBRX[]
As a Hyper Combo[]
Bowser's 3rd Hyper Combo, Giga Bowser Punch, involves him transforming into Giga Bowser, teleports to the background and aims a punch. The punch deals 40% damage, and causes an instant Screen KO for opponent(s) at 60% damage or greater.
As a boss[]
Giga Bowser returns as a boss in Super Ultra All-Stars Battle Royale X.
Bio[]
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!
Special Powers[]
Similar to his original counterpart albeit enhanced to insane levels of power.
Boss Intro[]
Bowser will crouch as he is surrounded by a dark field, causing him to transform into Giga Bowser.
