*Giga Bowser's design closely resembles that of Ganon's in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', due to them being hulking, monstrous-looking bipedal creatures that sport a mostly green coloration, and similar horns, hair, and tails. The resemblance between the two is best seen in ''Ultimate'', due to Ganondorf reverting back to his ''Ocarina of Time'' design, last seen in ''Melee'', in this game. | *Giga Bowser's design closely resembles that of Ganon's in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', due to them being hulking, monstrous-looking bipedal creatures that sport a mostly green coloration, and similar horns, hair, and tails.

*Giga Bowser was created due to [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s interpretation of Bowser's 8-bit sprites as a "frenzied, terrifying monster", compared to his modern appearance, which he described as "steadily becoming cuter". Regarding Giga Bowser's appearance in ''Melee'', Sakurai noted that he is a separate character from normal Bowser (hence the usage of his black [[Alternate costume (SSBM)#Bowser|alternate costume]] in Adventure Mode), though this is not the case in later installments.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return575.html</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKIZ_oFGCIE</ref> | *Giga Bowser was created due to [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s interpretation of Bowser's 8-bit sprites as a "frenzied, terrifying monster", compared to his modern appearance, which he described as "steadily becoming cuter".

*In ''Ultimate'', although Giga Bowser cannot be normally brought to the blast line, he can still [[self-destruct]] by using [[Bowser Bomb]] toward the edge. | *In ''Ultimate'', although Giga Bowser cannot be normally brought to the blast line, he can still [[self-destruct]] by using [[Bowser Bomb]] toward the edge{{fact}}. | ||
*Giga Bowser can still come in contact with and obtain a [[Smash Ball]]. However, he does not have a programmed [[Final Smash]] of his own, as he is not intended to use one (hence his boss battle's lack of Smash Balls). Once used, it will appear as if [[Bowser]] is transforming into Giga Bowser, but will then immediately shrink as if reverting back to his regular form, with a green flash accompanying him. However, this Final Smash has no effect whatsoever apart from the green flashes remaining onto Giga Bowser until he is KOed, while he is otherwise unaffected. If Giga Bowser uses another Smash Ball afterwards, another layer of green flashes will appear on him and so on. | *Giga Bowser can still come in contact with and obtain a [[Smash Ball]].

*If Giga Bowser is in a trapping Final Smash, such as Kirby's [[Ultra Sword]], there a few moments where the player can see Giga Bowser revert to a [[T-pose]] position, likely because of the lack of animations for Giga Bowser being hit by the attack. Once the Final Smash ends, Giga Bowser will keep spinning in the air, and will stay that way until Training Mode is closed and reopened, or a {{b|Metroid|creature}} is used on him. | *If Giga Bowser is in a trapping Final Smash, such as Kirby's [[Ultra Sword]], there a few moments where the player can see Giga Bowser revert to a [[T-pose]] position, likely because of the lack of animations for Giga Bowser being hit by the attack.
