*This event match is an homage to the ''{{s|wikipedia|kaiju}}'' film genre, which centers around giant monsters. The tiny Mario and Peach represent the helpless citizens in those films, with their smaller-than-normal size reflecting the size difference between the humans and the kaiju. The Fourside stage references the main setting of most giant monster movies and ''kaiju'' films, which often take place in a large city setting. | *This event match is an homage to the ''{{s|wikipedia|kaiju}}'' film genre, which centers around giant monsters.

**This event match is likely a reference to the 1962 film, ''{{s|wikipedia|King Kong vs. Godzilla}}''. Giant Bowser represents {{s|wikipedia|Godzilla}}, a giant reptilian monster originating from Japan, and Giant Donkey Kong represents {{s|wikipedia|King Kong}}, a giant ape monster originating from the United States. Ironically, despite the player using Giant Bowser to KO Giant Donkey Kong, in the film, King Kong emerges victorious from the final battle against Godzilla. | **This event match is likely a reference to the 1962 film, ''{{s|wikipedia|King Kong vs. Godzilla}}''.

**This event match's name is a reference to the size of Giant Bowser and Giant Donkey Kong, as well as a reference to the 1966 ''kaiju'' film, ''{{s|wikipedia|The War of the Gargantuas}}'', otherwise known in Japan as ''Frankenstein's Monsters: Sanda Vs. Gaira''.

Ironically, despite Sanda serving as the protagonist Gargantua and Gaira serving as the antagonistic Gargantua, in this event match, the roles are reversed, so the green Gargantua is the protagonist while the brown one is the antagonist. | ||
