'''Giga Bowser''' ({{ja|ギガクッパ変身|Giga Kuppa Henshin}}, ''Giga Koopa Transformation'') is [[Bowser]]'s [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It causes him to turn into [[Giga Bowser]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', granting him immense strength. While in this form, he is invulnerable to [[knockback]], but can still receive [[damage]], which may leave Bowser severely weakened and open to [[KO]]s after the Final Smash. He gains no new abilities while as Giga Bowser, though his existing abilities are augmented, with many attacks gaining elemental [[effect]]s. In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Giga Bowser retains all of his moves from ''Brawl'' despite Bowser receiving a revamped moveset; moves such as his [[dash attack]], [[forward smash]] and [[back aerial]] remain unchanged functionally. | |||
Before transforming back into Bowser, the Final Smash lasts for 660 frames (11 seconds at normal speed) in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', but its duration is decreased to 480 frames (8 seconds at normal speed) in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. | |||

*Most of Bowser's new attacks and options (such as [[Flying Slam]] and [[crawl]]ing) are also available for Giga Bowser. However, his [[forward aerial]], back aerial and a few other moves remain the same as in ''Melee''. | |||
*Fire Breath weakens over time, unlike in ''Melee''. | |||
* | *More attacks have visual side effects. | ||
* | *Immunity to knockback. Giga Bowser essentially has [[armor]] for his entire presence. However, he is still affected by [[freeze frame]]s, and thus powerful or long lasting multi-hit attacks can hinder Giga Bowser's movement. A prime example of this is using a [[Smart Bomb]] on Giga Bowser; this can sometimes hold him off long enough for him to revert back to Bowser. | ||
* | *Giga Bowser is no longer affected by [[Metal Box]]es, [[Super Mushroom]]s, and [[Poison Mushroom]]s.{{clr}} | ||

* | *Giga Bowser has a lighter coloured, less detailed model, while still retaining many of his physical features from ''Brawl''. | ||
* | *As the case for most other Final Smashes, Giga Bowser was slightly nerfed from his ''Brawl'' incarnation. Both the knockback of his attacks and the time he lasts have been slightly reduced from ''Brawl'', with the Final Smash duration being 3 seconds shorter than before.{{clr}} | ||

[[Giga Bowser]] first appeared in ''Melee'' as a hidden boss in [[Adventure Mode]]. To get to him, Adventure Mode must be done on Normal difficulty or higher, in 18 minutes or less, and no [[continue]]s. Giga Bowser also appeared in the [[Event 51|final event]] in ''Melee'' as an opponent, alongside with {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} and {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}. Giga Bowser returns for ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', but this time he is Bowser's Final Smash and not a boss. Since he's now Bowser's Final Smash, he is a semi playable character. Giga Bowser, on the other hand, did not appear in any ''{{uv|Mario}}'' games, despite being a ''Mario'' character. | |||

Both [[Triforce Slash]]es and the {{b|Blue Falcon|Final Smash}} can be executed but will trap him in the T-pose position afterwards due to not having proper animations. While being attacked normally breaks other characters out this T-pose trap, only [[Cook Kirby]], [[Galaxia Darkness]], and [[Great Aether]] are capable of freeing Giga Bowser from the trap, as these 3 are the only moves in the game capable of breaking through Giga Bowser's [[armor]] thanks to infinite knockback. Cook Kirby breaks through the resistance upon sucking Giga Bowser into the pot, and again upon dropping Giga Bowser out of the pot. Galaxia Darkness breaks through Giga Bowser's flinch resistance upon the hit (Which also causes the minimum amount of knockback to Giga Bowser). Great Aether breaks through at the start, but freezes him again and subsequently breaks him out numerous times, before fully freeing him at the end. All other Final Smashes simply deal damage to Giga Bowser, with some slowing him down like a [[Smart Bomb]] on each hit, while others cause no lag and ignore Giga Bowser's shield. | ||

*Giga Bowser's shield cannot be broken by any means. He can still be damaged when the shield is too small, but it will not break or be canceled. The shield does not return to full strength after the transformation finishes. Also of note is that Giga Bowser cannot be grabbed or [[Inhale]]d, which also includes special moves having to do with grabbing such as [[Falcon Dive]]. Strangely, the unbreakable shield is exclusive to Giga Bowser, as [[Wario-Man]]'s shield will break normally. | *Giga Bowser's shield cannot be broken by any means.

*Since hitstun causes characters to be KO'd off the top [[blast line]], it is possible to KO Giga Bowser if he is attacked while above the line.

== | ==Trivia== | ||
*Giga Bowser is one of only four characters who can use Darkness attacks in ''Brawl'', the other ones being {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}, [[Crazy Hand]], and {{SSBB|Olimar}}'s White {{b|Pikmin|species}} (though this is considered poison, it technically uses the darkness effect). | |||
[[ | *Within the game's files, Bowser's sound effect file actually contains duplicates of his voice clips and sound effects. These are no different from the normal sounds, but are placed in a filter during gameplay to create Giga Bowser's deeper voice. The voice can also be pitched higher or lower in Special Brawl matches involving size changes. Both Giga Bowser's voice clips and sound effects can be played in the game's Sound Test, being placed together with Bowser's sounds. | ||
*The fact that Giga Bowser has a results screen animation when using an infinite Giga Bowser hack is odd, considering Wario-Man and other characters playable in this fashion, do not have them and thus freeze the game upon a match ending unless their animation files are hacked. Also of note is how this Giga Bowser never turns back into Bowser when KO'd, while Wario-Man will ''always'' turn back into Wario upon being KO'd. This may suggest that Giga Bowser was originally to stay a boss, as in ''Melee'' while {{SSBB|Bowser}} was to have a non-transforming Final Smash. | |||
*The length of time spent as Giga Bowser is not correctly affected by [[Training mode]]'s speed change. For example, setting the Training Mode speed to 1/4 will only give Giga Bowser enough time for one or two attacks before reverting. | |||
**This was fixed in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', where the duration of the transformation is now based on the amount of frames that have played. | |||
*Within ''Brawl''{{'}}s files, Giga Bowser actually has animations for numerous actions he is normally unable to do. These include all animations for being thrown, picking up light items and food, all light item throws, using the {{B|Screw Attack|item}}, growing or shrinking via items, picking up and releasing an [[Assist Trophy]], assembling and riding the [[Dragoon]], slipping, and teetering over a ledge. Most of these relate to actions Giga Bowser could do in ''Melee'' that he is missing in ''Brawl''. | |||
*In ''SSB4'', there are files for [[Alternate_costume_(SSB4)#Bowser|palette swaps]] for Giga Bowser, but they aren't used in the game. The same thing applies to [[Giga Mac]], [[Wario-Man]], and [[Mega Lucario]], as shown [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSHbX-Ow3WM here]. | |||
