[[Giga Bowser]] first appeared in ''Melee'' as a hidden boss in [[Adventure Mode]]. To get to him, Adventure Mode must be done on Normal difficulty or higher, in 18 minutes or less, and no [[continue]]s. Giga Bowser also appeared in the [[Event 51|final event]] in ''Melee'' as an opponent, alongside with {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} and {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}. Giga Bowser returns for ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', but this time he is Bowser's Final Smash and not a boss. Since he's now Bowser's Final Smash, he is a semi playable character. Aside from being a semi playable character and appearing in Bowser's Final Smash trophy (for both ''Brawl'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''), Giga Bowser does not make any other appearances. | [[Giga Bowser]] first appeared in ''Melee'' as a hidden boss in [[Adventure Mode]].

His transformation ability could, however, be a reference to the tradition of final boss fights in ''Mario'' games involving Bowser growing to gigantic size. This first appeared in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' (featuring a baby Bowser), while the adult Bowser first did so in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. | ||
