===Aesthetics===

*{{nerf|Giga Bowser's [[jump]]squat is longer (6 frames → 7).}}

*{{buff|Giga Bowser's soft landing is faster (30 frames → 18).}}

*{{buff|Giga Bowser's [[shield]] is now impossible to break.}}

*{{nerf|Giga Bowser is no longer affected by [[Metal Box]]es, [[Super Mushroom]]s, and [[Poison Mushroom]]s.{{clr}}}}

==Changes from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4''==

*{{change|Giga Bowser has a lighter coloured, less detailed model, while still retaining many of his physical features from ''Brawl''.}}

*{{nerf|As the case for most other Final Smashes, Giga Bowser was slightly nerfed from his ''Brawl'' incarnation, with slightly decreased duration, damage, and knockback on his attacks.}}

==Playability through hacking==

==Other oddities and glitches==

*Giga Bowser's shield cannot be broken by any means. He can still be damaged when the shield is too small, but it will not break or be canceled. The shield does not return to full strength after the transformation finishes. Also of note is that Giga Bowser cannot be grabbed or [[Inhale]]d, which also includes special moves having to do with grabbing such as [[Falcon Dive]]. Strangely, the unbreakable shield is exclusive to Giga Bowser, as [[Wario-Man]]'s shield will break normally.

*Since hitstun causes characters to be KO'd off the top [[blast line]], it is possible to KO Giga Bowser if he is attacked while above the line. The same is true if Giga Bowser is carried above the [[blast line]] by a platform, including the top of any of the 3 [[Landmaster]]s.

*Within the game's files, Bowser's sound effect file actually contains duplicates of his voice clips and sound effects. These are no different from the normal sounds, but are placed in a filter during gameplay to create Giga Bowser's deeper voice. The voice can also be pitched higher or lower in Special Brawl matches involving size changes. Both Giga Bowser's voice clips and sound effects can be played in the game's Sound Test, being placed together with Bowser's sounds.

*The fact that Giga Bowser has a results screen animation when using an infinite Giga Bowser hack is odd, considering Wario-Man and other characters playable in this fashion do not have them, and thus freeze the game upon a match ending unless their animation files are hacked. Also of note is how this Giga Bowser never turns back into Bowser when KO'd, while Wario-Man will ''always'' turn back into Wario upon being KO'd. This may suggest that Giga Bowser was originally going to reprise his role as a boss like in ''Melee'', while {{SSBB|Bowser}} was to have a non-transforming Final Smash.

*Within ''Brawl''{{'}}s files, Giga Bowser actually has animations for numerous actions he is normally unable to do. These include all animations for being thrown, picking up light items and food, all light item throws, using the {{B|Screw Attack|item}}, growing or shrinking via items, picking up and releasing an [[Assist Trophy]], assembling and riding the [[Dragoon]], slipping, and teetering over a ledge. Most of these relate to actions Giga Bowser could do in ''Melee'' that he is missing in ''Brawl''.

*In ''SSB4'', there are files for [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Bowser|palette swaps]] for Giga Bowser, but they aren't used in the game. The same thing applies to [[Giga Mac]], [[Wario-Man]], and [[Mega Lucario]], as shown [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSHbX-Ow3WM here].
