Fighters only playable through [[hacking]] are generally banned in competitive play, and Giga Bowser is no exception, often being seen as the poster child for such characters due to his overwhelming characteristics. The difficulty in setting him up is not considered to be worth it by tournament organisers. However, out of all unplayable characters, Giga Bowser has seen some of the highest levels of discussion towards being unbanned, with content creators like {{Sm|wusstunes}} covering the debate in recent times. Giga Bowser has been playable in some lower-level tournaments, such as [https://moal.challonge.com/322Singles Man on a Ledge #322] by {{Sm|Gumball}} and [https://www.start.gg/tournament/east-coast-smash-sundays-10-featuring-darkgenex-s-giga-bowser/events East Coast Smash Sundays #10] by {{Sm|DarkGenex}}. He also saw unintentional appearances in early versions of [[Project Slippi]]'s ranked mode, but this was eventually patched out.

The difficulty in setting him up is not considered to be worth it by tournament organisers.
