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]]. | 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]].

Furthermore, the Screen KO isn't guaranteed if they are hit on the side of Bowser's fist, even outside 8-Player Smash, as they can be Star or Blast KO'd instead. | ||

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: | 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.

In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', {{b|Giga Bowser|Final Smash}} 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. | In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', {{b|Giga Bowser|Final Smash}} is Bowser's [[Final Smash]] rather than a boss.

Giga Bowser's presence in the background and increase in size are directly compared to ''{{iw|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}}''. | ||
Bowser also had the ability to grow giant and punch in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story}}'', though the perspective was on his side, rather than his front. | Bowser also had the ability to grow giant and punch in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story}}'', though the perspective was on his side, rather than his front. | ||
