Giant Bowser appears at the end of [[Adventure Mode]], where he is fought at [[Final Destination (SSBM)|Final Destination]]. Under most circumstances, he acts as the final boss of the mode, and defeating him allows the player to finish the mode. However, if the [[difficulty]] is set to Normal or higher and the player arrives at Final Destination within 18 minutes without using a [[Continue]], Giant Bowser will transform into [[Giga Bowser]] upon being KO'd. From there, the player must defeat Giga Bowser to clear the mode.

As a cosmetic change, Giant Bowser uses [[Palette swap (SSBM)#Bowser|Bowser's black palette swap]] if he is fought on Normal difficulty or higher.

Extra appearances by Giant Bowser include an immensely large version that appears, controlled by the player, in [[Event 25: Gargantuans]] against the computer controlled [[Giant DK|similarly-sized DK]]. He also reappears in [[Event 42: Trouble King 2]], where the player, as {{SSBM|Luigi}}, must KO him twice. Finally, Giant Bowser can appear in {{SSBM|Classic Mode}} as a random giant opponent in stage 5. Unlike other giant opponents fought on their home stages, Giant Bowser is fought on the [[Fountain of Dreams]] stage, usually belonging to [[Kirby (SSBM)|Kirby]].

Giant Bowser can appear in {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} as a possible giant opponent in Stage 8. Aside from this, Giant Bowser's closest resemblance to being a minor boss like he was in ''Melee'' is in the solo [[Event match|event]] [[Event 27: Three-Beast Carnage]]. He appears alongside [[Giant DK]] and  new minor boss Giant {{SSBB|Charizard}}, appearing to attack [[New Pork City]]. The player's assigned character in this solo event is {{SSBB|R.O.B.}}


Giant Bowser makes his usual appearance on {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} in ''Brawl'' as a possible giant opponent on Stage 8. Additionally, like in his appearance in [[Adventure Mode]] in ''Melee'', {{SSBB|Bowser}} has a chance to appear on {{SSBB|Final Destination}} in ''Classic Mode'' as a random opponent on Stage 11. However, this is just normal Bowser; not ''Giant Bowser''.

[[File:Giant Bowser SSBU.jpg|thumb|Giant Bowser in Yoshi's Classic Mode]]
Giant Bowser acts only as the penultimate opponent in Round 6 on [[Mushroom Kingdom U]] of {{SSBU|Yoshi}}'s Classic Mode route before both the Bonus Game and boss fight against Rathalos in the final round, possibly referencing a recurring element from the ''Yoshi's Island'' series in which Kamek transforms baby Bowser into a giant upon the latter's defeat.


Aside from being a random giant opponent in ''Classic Mode'' on Stage 8, Giant Bowser's closest resemblance to being a minor boss like he was in ''Melee'' is in the event [[Event 27: Three-Beast Carnage]]. He appears alongside [[Giant DK]] and a new minor boss (Giant {{SSBB|Charizard}}), attacking [[New Pork City]].  
He also appears in the Spirit Battles of Baby Bowser, [[Groudon]], Volcanion, [[Ifrit]], and Magnamalo.
