Super Smash Bros. (series): Difference between revisions

''Super Smash Bros.'' also introduced Metal Mario (originally from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'') and a Giant Donkey Kong. Metal Mario is simply Mario with increased resistance to being knocked out of the stage as well as a faster falling speed and more attack power, while Giant Donkey Kong is simply a larger and more powerful version of Donkey Kong. ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''{{'}}s Adventure Mode introduced more boss characters that were enhanced versions of playable characters, such as the Tiny Donkey Kong duo, Giant Kirby, and Metal Luigi. However, due to items introduced in ''Melee'', such as the Metal Box, Super Mushroom and Poison Mushroom, all of these seemingly non-playable characters (including the enhanced characters that were unplayable bosses in the first game) are indeed playable for short amounts of time as they allow all characters to become Metal, Giant or Tiny. Dark Link, a completely black form of Link, appeared in ''Melee'' as a non-playable character. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', gamers are able to play as Dark Link in the form of a color change for Link.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=dGdrxsikX4A|title=Video of Dark Link in the ''Brawl'' Demo made available at EforAll 2007}}</ref>

'''[[Giga Bowser]]''', known in Japan as '''Giga Koopa''' ({{ja|ギガクッパ|Giga Kuppa}}), is a gigantic, enhanced version of [[Bowser]] introduced in ''Melee''. He is the secret final boss of ''Melee''{{'}}s  [[Adventure Mode]], only appearing if the player clears [[Adventure Mode]] on Normal level or higher in 18 minutes or fewer without continuing. Beat him without using a continue to get his trophy. He is also one of the fighters in the final match of ''Melee''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Event mode, "The Showdown", with [[Mewtwo]] and [[Ganondorf]] by his side. Giga Bowser has several abilities that the regular Bowser does not. He is so large that he is immune to grabs and similar grabbing moves. As with Metal Mario, Giga Bowser becomes playable for short periods of time in the following game, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', when {{SSBB|Bowser}} performs his "Final Smash" attack. Bowser transforms into Giga Bowser, and is practically invincible until the effect of the Final Smash wears off.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/characters/bowser.html|title=Bowser's page on the official Super Smash Bros.
