|desc-pal=The definitive way to prove that Bowser's the king. This fearsome form made its debut all the way back in Melee. While transformed, Bowser deals more damage, launches foes further, and certain attacks have extra effects like freezing opponents. He won't flinch, and he can't be thrown either, but he will still take damage. | |||

*When | *When played as a Final Smash, on [[Stamina Mode]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', Giga Bowser does not get defeated (along with [[Wario-Man]], [[Giga Mac]], [[Mega Charizard X]], and [[Mega Lucario]]) if reduced to 0 HP. This causes the [[Undead Glitch]]. | ||
*Giga Bowser's shield cannot be broken by any means. He can still be damaged when the shield is too small, but it will not break or be canceled. The shield does not return to full strength after the transformation finishes. Also of note is that Giga Bowser cannot be grabbed or [[Inhale]]d, which also includes special moves having to do with grabbing such as [[Falcon Dive]]. Strangely, the unbreakable shield is exclusive to Giga Bowser, as [[Wario-Man]]'s shield will break normally. | *Giga Bowser's shield cannot be broken by any means.

*Since hitstun causes characters to be KO'd off the top [[blast line]], it is possible to KO Giga Bowser if he is attacked while above the line.

[[Giga Bowser]] first appeared in ''Melee'' as a hidden boss in [[Adventure Mode]], and was considered to be a separate character from Bowser. To battle him, Adventure Mode must be done on Normal difficulty or higher in 18 minutes or less with 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 returned for ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', but as a Final Smash transformation for Bowser and not a separate character. Aside from being a semi-playable character in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', Giga Bowser does not make any other playable appearances without hacking the game. | [[Giga Bowser]] first appeared in ''Melee'' as a hidden boss in [[Adventure Mode]], and was considered to be a separate character from Bowser.

Strictly speaking, Giga Bowser did not appear in any {{uv|Mario}} games, arguably making him a ''Smash'' character. This is because Giga Bowser is based on [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s interpretation of Bowser's 8-bit sprites as a "frenzied, terrifying monster"<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return575.html</ref> | Strictly speaking, Giga Bowser did not appear in any {{uv|Mario}} games, arguably making him a ''Smash'' character.

This first appeared with Baby Bowser in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', while the adult Bowser first did so in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', which was in development at the same time as ''Melee''. | ||
