'''Giga Bowser''' ({{ja|ギガクッパ|Giga Koopa}}), is an [[unplayable character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and only playable via [[hacking]].

This is primarily because of his [[Whirling Fortress]] equivalent being [[intangible]] from frame 1 to 26 which, with extremely strong [[KO]] potential, makes it very difficult to pressure him. He notably has a better [[jumpsquat]] than Bowser, jumps higher, is invulnerable to being [[grab]]bed, and has vastly better hitboxes. However, with extremely high [[weight]], once launched, Giga Bowser can struggle mightily against characters like {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}, in this case being one of the easiest characters to land [[Rest]] against in the game. He also has a very poor [[wavedash]] and has such slow aerials that conventional techniques like [[SHFFL]]ing and [[l-canceling]] don't really benefit him that much. | ||
In the event of winning in [[VS Mode]] or [[Special Smash]], without additional modifications, Giga Bowser crashes the game upon the [[results screen]] being reached, due to lacking a winning animation. Losing allows the game to progress, where the game erroneously calls him {{SSBM|Sheik}}. | In the event of winning in [[VS Mode]] or [[Special Smash]], without additional modifications, Giga Bowser crashes the game upon the [[results screen]] being reached, due to lacking a winning animation.
