*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. Other interesting oddities include:

*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.

*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]].

*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.

*Since hitstun causes characters to be KO'd off the top [[blast line]], it is possible to KO Giga Bowser if he is attacked while above the line. The same is true if Giga Bowser is carried above the [[blast line]] by a platform, including the top of any of the 3 [[Landmaster]]s.

[[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.
