| '''Giant Bowser''' is a [[minor boss]] that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. | | '''Giant Bowser''' is a minor [[boss]] that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. |
| | |
| ==In ''Melee''==
| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| 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 ''Melee''=== |
| | In ''Melee'', Giant Bowser appears at the end of [[Adventure Mode]], where he is fought at [[Final Destination (SSBM)|Final Destination]]. He may or may not be the last boss. If he uses [[Palette swap (SSBM)#Bowser|Bowser's default palette swap]], he is the last boss-Very Easy or Easy only. If he uses the black palette swap, however, the last boss is [[Giga Bowser]]-Normal or higher only (if the player does not use a continue, and Giant Bowser is defeated in 18 minutes or less). |
|
| |
|
| ==In ''Brawl''==
| | Extra appearances include an immensely large version (over twice as large as the normal Super Mushroom Bowser) that appears in [[Event 25: Gargantuans]] against the computer controlled, [[Giant DK|similarly-sized DK]], plus a super-tiny {{SSBM|Mario}} and {{SSBM|Peach}}. He reappears in [[Event 42: Trouble King 2]] for {{SSBM|Luigi}} to [[KO]]. |

| Giant Bowser can appear in {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} as a possible giant opponent in Stage 8. Aside from this, Giant Bowser's closest resemblance to being a minor boss like he was in ''Melee'' is in the solo [[Event match|event]] [[Event 27: Three-Beast Carnage]]. 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 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.
| | Giant Bowser returns with Giant DK in ''Brawl'', and they are joined by a new giant enemy: Giant {{SSBB|Charizard}}. In [[Event 27: Three-Beast Carnage]], Giant Bowser allies with Giant DK and Giant Charizard in attacking [[New Pork City]]. |
