==Overview==
==Overview==
When preforming this move, Bowser transforms into [[Giga Bowser]] (the gargantuan and powered up version of said character). In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', Giga Bowser can be freely controlled, moving and attacking normally with a moveset similar to Bowser's.  
Bowser transforms into [[Giga Bowser]], granting him his immense strength and primeval moveset from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Giga Bowser can be freely controlled for 660 frames (11 seconds) in ''Brawl'' and 480 frames (8 seconds) in ''Smash 4''.  


In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', Bowser transforms into [[Giga Bowser]], granting him his immense strength and modified moveset from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. While in this form, he is invulnerable to [[knockback]], but can still receive [[damage]], which may leave Bowser severely weakened and open to [[KO]]s after the transformation expires. He gains no new abilities as Giga Bowser, but his existing abilities are augmented, with many attacks gaining elemental [[effect]]s.
Despite Bowser's core changes over the course of ''Smash'', Giga Bowser retains many of Bowser's old attacks in each of his appearances, such as the old [[back aerial]] and [[run]] animations. Thus, Giga Bowser can be seen as a [[semi-clone]] rather than a straight moveset upgrade. While in this form, Bowser has passive [[super armor]], but can still receive [[damage]], which may leave Bowser severely weakened and open to [[KO]]s after the transformation expires. Many of Giga Bowser's attacks have elemental [[effect]]s and the smash attacks are even capable of [[one-hit KO]]s, making the Final Smash very powerful. However, despite the armor, Giga Bowser can still experience [[hitlag]] while the timer decreases, meaning that it can be difficult to deal significant damage if overwhelmed with multi-hit attacks or [[item]]s like the [[Smart Bomb]].  
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Giga Bowser retains all of his moves from ''Brawl'' despite Bowser receiving a revamped moveset; moves such as his [[dash attack]], [[forward smash]] and [[back aerial]] remain unchanged functionally. The transformation lasts for 660 frames (11 seconds) in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and 480 frames (8 seconds) in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.

*Giga Bowser can be selected as a playable character by hacking the game. His icon always shows him as normal Bowser. He plays similarly to the [[Final Smash]] version but stays transformed for the entire match, even after being KO'd. He is usable in modes that disable the ability to use Final Smashes, such as Boss Battles and the Subspace Emissary, and will not prevent Smash Balls from spawning.

*When not played as a hack, on [[Stamina Mode]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', Giga Bowser does not get defeated (along with [[Wario-Man]], [[Giga Mac]], [[Mega Charizard X]], and [[Mega Lucario]]) if reduced to 0 HP. This causes the [[Undead Glitch]].  
*The length of time spent as Giga Bowser is not correctly affected by [[Training mode]]'s speed change. For example, setting the Training Mode speed to 1/4 will only give Giga Bowser enough time for one or two attacks before reverting.
**This was fixed in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', where the duration of the transformation is now based on the amount of frames that have played.

*Giga Bowser's shield cannot be broken by any means. He can still be damaged when the shield is too small, but it will not break or be canceled. The shield does not return to full strength after the transformation finishes. Also of note is that Giga Bowser cannot be grabbed or [[Inhale]]d, which also includes special moves having to do with grabbing such as [[Falcon Dive]]. Strangely, the unbreakable shield is exclusive to Giga Bowser, as [[Wario-Man]]'s shield will break normally.

[[Giga Bowser]] first appeared in ''Melee'' as a hidden boss in [[Adventure Mode]]. To get to him, Adventure Mode must be done on Normal difficulty or higher, in 18 minutes or less, and no [[continue]]s. Giga Bowser also appeared in the [[Event 51|final event]] in ''Melee'' as an opponent, alongside with {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} and {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}. Giga Bowser returns for ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', but this time he is Bowser's Final Smash and not a boss. Since he's now Bowser's Final Smash, he is a semi playable character. Aside from being a semi playable character and appearing in Bowser's Final Smash trophy (for both Brawl and [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]), Giga Bowser does not make any other appearances.  
[[Giga Bowser]] first appeared in ''Melee'' as a hidden boss in [[Adventure Mode]], and was considered to be a separate character from Bowser. To battle him, Adventure Mode must be done on Normal difficulty or higher in 18 minutes or less with no [[continue]]s. Giga Bowser also appeared in the [[Event 51|final event]] in ''Melee'' as an opponent, alongside with {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} and {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}. Giga Bowser returned for ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', but as a Final Smash transformation for Bowser and not a separate character. Aside from being a semi-playable character in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', Giga Bowser does not make any other playable appearances without hacking the game.  


Strictly speaking, Giga Bowser did not appear in any ''{{uv|Mario}}'' games, despite being considered a ''Mario'' character. 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 ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' (featuring a baby Bowser).
Strictly speaking, Giga Bowser did not appear in any {{uv|Mario}} games, arguably making him a ''Smash'' character. This is because Giga Bowser is based on [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s interpretation of Bowser's 8-bit sprites as a "frenzied, terrifying monster".<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return575.html</ref> His transformation ability could, however, be a reference to the tradition of final boss fights in ''Mario'' games involving Bowser growing to gigantic size. This first appeared with Baby Bowser in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', while the adult Bowser first did so in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', which was in development at the same time as ''Melee''.

*Within the game's files, Bowser's sound effect file actually contains duplicates of his voice clips and sound effects. These are no different from the normal sounds, but are placed in a filter during gameplay to create Giga Bowser's deeper voice. The voice can also be pitched higher or lower in Special Brawl matches involving size changes. Both Giga Bowser's voice clips and sound effects can be played in the game's Sound Test, being placed together with Bowser's sounds.

*The fact that Giga Bowser has a results screen animation when using an infinite Giga Bowser hack is odd, considering Wario-Man and other characters playable in this fashion do not have them, and thus freeze the game upon a match ending unless their animation files are hacked. Also of note is how this Giga Bowser never turns back into Bowser when KO'd, while Wario-Man will ''always'' turn back into Wario upon being KO'd. This may suggest that Giga Bowser was originally going to reprise his role as a boss like in ''Melee'', while {{SSBB|Bowser}} was to have a non-transforming Final Smash.

*Within ''Brawl''{{'}}s files, Giga Bowser actually has animations for numerous actions he is normally unable to do. These include all animations for being thrown, picking up light items and food, all light item throws, using the {{B|Screw Attack|item}}, growing or shrinking via items, picking up and releasing an [[Assist Trophy]], assembling and riding the [[Dragoon]], slipping, and teetering over a ledge. Most of these relate to actions Giga Bowser could do in ''Melee'' that he is missing in ''Brawl''.
