Being a character only playable through [[hacking]], Giga Bowser has been banned from competitive play since ''Ultimate's'' release, much like his ''Melee'' appearance. He has seen sporadic experimentation, mainly in early periods of the game where he was playable online in Battle Arenas, chiefly by a player named {{Sm|RareKirby}}. However, this wasn't done seriously and did not come with any talks of an unban. Thus, despite being possible to use online and not difficult to mod into the [[Character select screen]], Giga Bowser has remained banned in all documented online tournaments, in part due to the potential for console bans if used online. Consequently, Giga Bowser gameplay has largely been relegated to experimental [[YouTube]] and [[Twitch]] content. Outside of online play, due to Giga Bowser's extremely polarising set of traits, requiring a rather elaborate, uninspiring, linear game plan to defeat him, in addition to the logistics of running a tournament with Giga Bowser modded into every Nintendo Switch console, there has been little discussion on legalising him.

With the [[Nintendo Community Tournament Guidelines]] disallowing modded setups for ''Ultimate'', this status quo is unlikely to change.
