Giant Bowser appears at the end of [[Adventure Mode]], where he is fought at [[Final Destination (SSBM)|Final Destination]]. Under most circumstances, he acts as the final boss of the mode, and defeating him allows the player to finish the mode. However, if the [[difficulty]] is set to Normal or higher and the player defeats him within 18 total minutes, Giant Bowser will transform into [[Giga Bowser]] upon being KO'd. From there, the player must defeat Giga Bowser to clear the mode.

Under most circumstances, he acts as the final boss of the mode, and defeating him allows the player to finish the mode. However, if the [[difficulty]] is set to Normal or higher and the player arrives at Final Destination within 18 minutes without using a [[Continue]], Giant Bowser will transform into [[Giga Bowser]] upon being KO'd. From there, the player must defeat Giga Bowser to clear the mode.


As a cosmetic change, Giant Bowser uses [[Palette swap (SSBM)#Bowser|Bowser's black palette swap]] if he is fought on Normal difficulty or higher.

Giant Bowser also appears in {{SSBM|Classic Mode}} as a random giant opponent in Stage 5. Unlike other giant opponents fought on their home stages, Giant Bowser is fought on the [[Fountain of Dreams]] stage (usually belonging to [[Kirby (SSBM)|Kirby]]).

Extra appearances by Giant Bowser include an immensely large version that appears, controlled by the player, in [[Event 25: Gargantuans]] against the computer-controlled [[Giant DK|similarly sized DK]]. He also reappears in [[Event 42: Trouble King 2]], where the player, as {{SSBM|Luigi}}, must KO him twice.

==In ''Brawl''==
Giant Bowser can appear in {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} as a possible giant opponent on Stage 8.


==In ''Brawl''==
Aside from being a random giant opponent in ''Classic Mode'' on Stage 8, Giant Bowser's closest resemblance to being a minor boss like he was in ''Melee'' is in the event [[Event 27: Three-Beast Carnage]]. He appears alongside [[Giant DK]] and  new minor boss Giant {{SSBB|Charizard}}, appearing to attack [[New Pork City]].

He appears alongside [[Giant DK]] and  new minor boss Giant {{SSBB|Charizard}}, appearing to attack [[New Pork City]]. The player's assigned character in this solo event is {{SSBB|R.O.B.}}

Giant Bowser acts only as the penultimate opponent in Round 6 of {{SSBU|Yoshi}}'s Classic Mode route before both the Bonus Game and boss fight against Rathalos in the final round, possibly as a reference to the ''Yoshi's Island'' sequels when Kamek transforms adult Bowser into a giant upon the latter's defeat.
Giant Bowser acts only as the penultimate opponent in Round 6 on [[Mushroom Kingdom U]] of {{SSBU|Yoshi}}'s Classic Mode route before both the Bonus Game and boss fight against Rathalos in the final round, possibly referencing a recurring element from the ''Yoshi's Island'' series in which Kamek transforms baby Bowser into a giant upon the latter's defeat.


He also appears in the Spirit Battles of Baby Bowser, [[Groudon]], Volcanion, [[Ifrit]], and Magnamalo.
