Giga Bowser

Line 103:

*Giga Bowser's design closely resembles that of Ganon's in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', due to them being hulking, monstrous-looking bipedal creatures that sport a mostly green coloration, and similar horns, hair, and tails. The resemblance between the two is best seen in ''Ultimate'', due to Ganondorf reverting back to his ''Ocarina of Time'' design, last seen in ''Melee'', in this game.

*Giga Bowser was created due to [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s interpretation of Bowser's 8-bit sprites as a "frenzied, terrifying monster", compared to his modern appearance, which has steadily become cuter. He also notes that Giga Bowser and Bowser are separate characters, though this is contradicted with later installments.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return575.html</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKIZ_oFGCIE</ref>

*The only time that Giga Bowser's knockback animations can be seen is in the [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], where characters with counters can launch him when he uses his forward tilt, forward smash, or down special. The animations can also be seen in the same mode if a strongly powered up [[Hothead]] used by the player hits Giga Bowser while sparking.

*If Giga Bowser is launched off of the stage in ''Ultimate'', he will use his double jump and up special to recover. He has all of the normal ledge options.

*Although Giga Bowser cannot be normally brought to the blast line, he can still [[self-destruct]] by using [[Bowser Bomb]] toward the edge.

*Giga Bowser can still come in contact with and obtain a [[Smash Ball]]. However, he does not have a programmed [[Final Smash]] of his own, as he is not intended to use one (hence his boss battle's lack of Smash Balls). Once used, it will appear as if [[Bowser]] is transforming into Giga Bowser, but will then immediately shrink as if reverting back to his regular form, with a green flash accompanying him. However, this Final Smash has no effect whatsoever apart from the green flashes remaining onto Giga Bowser until he is KOed, while he is otherwise unaffected. If Giga Bowser uses another Smash Ball afterwards, another layer of green flashes will appear on him and so on.

*If Giga Bowser is in a trapping Final Smash, such as Kirby's [[Ultra Sword]], there a few moments where the player can see Giga Bowser revert to a [[T-pose]] position, likely because of the lack of animations for Giga Bowser being hit by the attack. Once the Final Smash ends, Giga Bowser will keep spinning in the air, and will stay that way until Training Mode is closed and reopened.
