In [[World of Light]], Giga Bowser is first fought in the [[Molten Fortress]] sub-area of the Light Realm map, and then fought again during the Final Battle like every other boss. The player faces him on the {{SSBU|Final Destination}} stage, while the {{SSBUMusicLink|Super Smash Bros.|Giga Bowser}} theme is playing. Unlike other boss battles, defeating him will release the regular Bowser as a playable character from Galeem's control, instead of both appearing separately on the map (as is the case with {{SSBU|Ganondorf}} and [[Ganon]]). He's fought for a second time during the [[Final stage (World of Light)|true final battle]] with [[Galeem]] and [[Dharkon]]. During the battle's second phase, Giga Bowser is the second Light Realm boss to appear on screen, which might indicate him being the second boss in the game. | In [[World of Light]], Giga Bowser is first fought in the [[Molten Fortress]] sub-area of the Light Realm map, and then fought again during the Final Battle like every other boss.

While difficult, because his [[armor]] is no longer unlimited and instead has a threshold of 95 [[knockback]] units, it is possible to make Giga Bowser flinch or even be launched.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isbG6ageAfk Attacks that can launch Giga Bowser]</ref> {{SSBU|Cloud}}'s [[Limit Break]] and {{SSBU|Hero}}'s [[Hatchet Man]] are a couple moves that can launch him, as well as [[counterattack|counter]]ing many of his single-hit attacks (some slow or multi-hit counters like {{SSBU|Peach}}'s, {{SSBU|Palutena}}'s, and {{SSBU|Greninja}}'s are unable launch Giga Bowser); {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}'s [[Blade Counter]] will cause Giga Bowser to flinch and cancel his attack, even if the retaliating hit doesn't launch him. Since his attacks do less damage on lower difficulties, the player will need to use stronger counters (e.g. {{SSBU|Joker}}'s [[Tetrakarn]]) or to counter his stronger attacks like [[forward smash]]<!--spirits have little/no effect on what can or cannot be countered-->. This allows the player to see his knockback animations, double jump, aerial up special, and ledge options | While difficult, because his [[armor]] is no longer unlimited and instead has a threshold of 95 [[knockback]] units, it is possible to make Giga Bowser flinch or even be launched.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isbG6ageAfk Attacks that can launch Giga Bowser]</ref> {{SSBU|Cloud}}'s [[Limit Break]] and {{SSBU|Hero}}'s [[Hatchet Man]] are a couple moves that can launch him, as well as [[counterattack|counter]]ing many of his single-hit attacks (some slow or multi-hit counters like {{SSBU|Peach}}'s, {{SSBU|Palutena}}'s, and {{SSBU|Greninja}}'s are unable launch Giga Bowser); {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}'s [[Blade Counter]] will cause Giga Bowser to flinch and cancel his attack, even if the retaliating hit doesn't launch him.
