While the move has no true origin from his home series, Donkey Kong has done a similar move to this one in other forms of media outside of ''Smash Bros.'':
*Donkey Kong performed a punch comparable to the Giant Punch in the ''[[mariowiki:Donkey Kong Country (television series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' episode "{{s|mariowiki|Bad Hair Day}}".
*When a player lands on a {{s|mariowiki|Bowser Space}} in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Party 5}}'', Donkey Kong may appear and punch [[Bowser]] in a similar way to the Giant Punch.
*In the ending of ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country Returns}}'', Donkey Kong uses a move similar to this when he is falling, charging his punch and striking the moon.
