Strategy Against Giga Bowser

Falco

Simply roll to the side and use the blaster. Gig Bowser will not slow down much, but he will accumulate damage. When he gets too close, double jump over him and use Fire Bird to aim downwards at him. After hitting him, roll to the other side and repeat this process. Another strategy is to use his Tilt Up to juggle him.

Jigglypuff

Stay afloat often and use Rest at opportune times.

Yoshi

Jump and use Yoshi Bomb repeatedly. If Giga Bowser uses Bowser Bomb it can disrupt the strategy.
