'''Giga Bowser Punch''' ({{ja|ギガクッパパンチ|Giga Kuppa Panchi}}, ''Giga Koopa Punch'') is [[Bowser (SSBU)|Bowser]]'s [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

Bowser grows to an enormous size, appears in the stage's background, and takes aim with a player-controlled crosshair similar to that of the [[Dragoon]]. The player can unleash a single punch at the targeted area, dealing 40% damage and launching struck opponents; if the opponent's damage percentage is 60% or greater before being punched (80% when using the weaker [[Final Smash Meter|FS Meter]] version), they instead receive an [[instant KO|instant]] [[screen KO]].

Like regular screen KOs, only up to three players will be screen KO'd in [[8-Player Smash]]; otherwise, the victim will be sent towards the upper blast line with extremely high knockback (comparable to {{SSBU|Jigglypuff}} when breaking its shield).[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdDPO5rMOkg&t=2m35s]

In certain stages, when the punch would ordinarily trigger a screen KO, the opponent will instead float upwards towards the upper blast zone, passing through all solid objects, until they are KO'd. This issue does not appear to be caused by screen KOs being disabled, as in training mode (where screen KOs are always disabled), the player is still instantaneously KO'd, and the bug's occurrence is solely determined by stage choice. The following stages are affected:

*[[Training (stage)]]

*[[Mushroom Kingdom (SSB)|Mushroom Kingdom]]

Giga Bowser has not appeared in any ''{{uv|Mario}}'' games. Instead, [[Giga Bowser]] first appeared in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' as a hidden boss in [[Adventure Mode]] and as an opponent in the final event, [[Event 51: The Showdown]]. To fight him in Adventure Mode, the player must complete Adventure Mode on Normal difficulty or higher, in 18 minutes or less, without using any [[continue]]s.

In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', [[Giga Bowser (Final Smash)|Giga Bowser]] is Bowser's [[Final Smash]] rather than a boss. In ''Ultimate'', like other "transformation" Final Smashes (such as [[Giga Mac]] and [[Wario-Man]]), it has been changed into a short powerful attack, where the character transforms into the powerful form only briefly, promptly returning to normal gameplay.

Giga Bowser is likely based on the tradition of final boss fights in ''Mario'' games involving Bowser growing to gigantic size; this first appeared in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island}}'' (featuring {{s|mariowiki|Baby Bowser}}). Giga Bowser's presence in the background and increase in size are directly compared to ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Island|series}}'', and the subsequent punch is similar to attacks performed in the final Bowser fights in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy 2}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros 2}}''.
