The game cannot be paused for the duration of the move. | ||

The first hit of the move is a ranged sword swing with an [[electric]] effect, dealing 8% damage to any opponents that have taken damage from the hit. The second hit activates after the cutscene finishes and deals 39% damage with immense knockback. On Final Destination, the attack can KO Mario at 15% at the ledge and 40% at the center (Percentages are from damage dealt with the [[Smash Ball]] variant of the Final Smash). According to the cutscene, the second hit is the result of a powerful electric slash from the sword that the Hero wields. Likewise, the second hit of Gigaslash will have an electric effect, similar to the first. | ||

Despite its name suggesting a physical attack, the move is a magical attack; it deals immense Zap damage on a single group of enemies.

Eight, the | Eight, the {{iw|dragonquestwiki|Hero|Dragon Quest VIII}} from ''Dragon Quest VIII'', can learn Gigaslash as a sword-only technique after fully investing 100 skill points into either the "Sword" or "Courage" skills, while the Luminary, the {{iw|dragonquestwiki|Hero|Dragon Quest XI}} from ''Dragon Quest XI'', will learn Gigaslash for 25 points in his Swordmastery skill tree. However, both Solo, the male {{iw|dragonquestwiki|Hero|Dragon Quest IV}} from ''Dragon Quest IV'', and Erdrick, the male {{iw|dragonquestwiki|Hero|Dragon Quest III}} from ''Dragon Quest III'', can not learn Gigaslash due to its late introduction into the series, even in their ports and remakes on other hardware after the release of ''Dragon Quest VI''. | ||
