'''Gargantuans''' is the 25th [[event match]] of 51 in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. In this match, the player's character is [[Giant Bowser]] and the enemy is [[Giant Donkey Kong]] on [[Fourside]]. The object is to beat Donkey Kong. There are also Tiny {{SSBM|Mario}} and {{SSBM|Peach}} to fight, but won't pose a threat since they will probably be KO'd by [[Giant Donkey Kong]]'s first attack anyway. Since the player is big, their recovery distance will decrease and not be KO'd even on high damage. Donkey Kong will sometimes [[self-destruct]] between the two buildings on the right of the stage.

==Trivia==
*Gargantuans acts as a homage to old, campy B-movies of the mid 1900s, especially monster films; the inclusion of Donkey Kong is a reference to [[wikipedia:King_Kong|King Kong]], a well-known American movie monster, and Bowser acts as a reference to [[wikipedia:Godzilla|Godzilla]], a movie monster hailing from Japan. As a result of these two appearing on Fourside (which ''EarthBound'' designed to be a parody of large, sprawling Japanese and American metropolises, common areas for monster films), the entire Event Match is similar to the most well-known of the 1962 film-Kong vs. Godzilla. The inclusion of Tiny Mario and Tiny Peach emulates the frequent use of helpless civilians in such movies. 
*Tiny Mario and Peach had their voices removed.
*During the battle, the song from [[DK Island: Kongo Jungle|Kongo Jungle]] plays.
*The player doesn't need to KO tiny Mario and tiny Peach to clear the event.

-The player controls [[Giant Bowser]] in a [[stock]] match against [[Giant Donkey Kong]] on the [[Fourside]] stage, where the player starts with 1 stock while Giant Donkey Kong starts off with 2 stocks. A tiny CPU {{SSBM|Mario}} and tiny {{SSBM|Peach}} also appear; however, due to their tiny size, they do not attack and are easily [[KO]]'d. This event match does not feature a time limit. Giant Donkey Kong's [[artificial intelligence]] is set at Level 9, while the tiny CPU Mario and Peach's artificial intelligence is set at Level 8.
-When this match starts, Giant Bowser will spawn on the soft platform at the right side of the stage, while Giant Donkey Kong will spawn on the rightmost platform of the stage, the tiny Mario will spawn on the top of the skyscraper in the center of the sage, and Peach will spawn on the platform to the right of the center of the stage. Giant Donkey Kong will also [[self-destruct]] between the two buildings on the right side of the stage. Giant Bowser can also survive at high damage (around 200%-999% damage) due to their size and knockback reduction modifiers when damaged by Giant Donkey Kong. The tiny Mario and Peach do not need to be KO'd to clear the event match.

 ==Trivia==
-*The tiny Mario and Peach do not make any sounds in this event match.
+*Gargantuans acts as a homage to old, campy B-movies of the mid 1900s, especially monster films; the inclusion of Donkey Kong is a reference to [[wikipedia:King_Kong|King Kong]], a well-known American movie monster, and Bowser acts as a reference to [[wikipedia:Godzilla|Godzilla]], a movie monster hailing from Japan. As a result of these two appearing on Fourside (which ''EarthBound'' designed to be a parody of large, sprawling Japanese and American metropolises, common areas for monster films), the entire Event Match is similar to the most well-known of the 1962 film-Kong vs. Godzilla. The inclusion of Tiny Mario and Tiny Peach emulates the frequent use of helpless civilians in such movies.
-*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.
+*Tiny Mario and Peach had their voices removed.
-**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.
+*During the battle, the song from [[DK Island: Kongo Jungle|Kongo Jungle]] plays.
-**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''. Giant Donkey Kong represents the brown Gargantua, Sanda, while Giant Bowser represents the green Gargantua, 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.
+*The player doesn't need to KO tiny Mario and tiny Peach to clear the event.
