Gil's Hyper Armor is the basis of a [[downloadable content]] costume for {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}. The costume is not based on any particular appearance of Gil, but rather serves as an amalgamation of several of his designs with some details original to the ''Smash'' design. Aesthetically, it bears the closest resemblance to his design from ''Namco × Capcom''.

The Gil costume for {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} returns as [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|DLC]] as part of Round 7 and will be available as of October 13th, 2020. The design has been updated from ''SSB4'' and takes some details from [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EGWuEiZUEAEwS_9.jpg Gil's design] in the Super Famicom game ''The Blue Crystal Rod'', such as the look of his sword and the shape of the horns on his helmet. Otherwise, it still overall resembles ''Namco × Capcom''.

The Gil costume for {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} returns as [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|DLC]] as part of Round 7 and was released on October 13th, 2020. The design has been updated from ''SSB4'', most closely resembling [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/towerofdruaga/images/7/75/Gilki86.png/revision/latest?cb=20210406013238 Gil's design] from ''The Return of Ishtar'', with some minor elements taken from his design in the PC Engine release of ''The Tower of Druaga'' and ''Namco x Capcom''.


Gil's sprite returns in {{SSBU|Pac-Man}}'s Namco Roulette taunt.  
Gil's Mii costume reveal trailer for ''Ultimate'' contains multiple references to ''The Tower of Druaga''. The first scene shows Gil ascending a set of stairs on [[Dracula's Castle]]; a staircase acts as the primary goal of each level. The second scene shows Gil defeating {{SSBU|Marth}} in his gold costume (representing the enemy Hyper Knight) and {{SSBU|Ridley}} in his green costume (representing the dragon-like enemy Quox), upon which he picks up a [[Bonus Fruit|key]]. In addition to enemies from the game, this also references how on each floor, Gil must find a key that allows him to reach the staircase and clear the level. The final scene shows Gil approaching a [[Metal Box|metallic]] [[Stone]] {{SSBU|Kirby}}. This represents Ki, who was transformed into a stone by Druaga and must be transformed back to finish the game. The stage shown is [[Mario Bros.]], which closely resembles the look of ''The Tower of Druaga'' with its red flooring.
 
Gil's sprite also returns in {{SSBU|Pac-Man}}'s Namco Roulette taunt.
