==Trivia==
This event acts as a homage to monster films and the {{s|wikipedia|kaiju}} genre; the inclusion of Donkey Kong is a reference to {{s|wikipedia|King Kong}}, a well-known American movie monster, and Bowser acts as a reference to {{s|wikipedia|Godzilla}}, a movie monster hailing from Japan. As a result of these two appearing on Fourside, a large city environment like those seen in typical monster films, the entire Event Match is similar to the concept of the film {{s|wikipedia|King Kong vs. Godzilla}}. The inclusion of Tiny Mario and Tiny Peach emulates the frequent use of helpless civilians in such movies.  
*Gargantuans acts as a homage to old, campy B-movies of the mid 1900s, especially monster films; the inclusion of Donkey Kong is a reference to [[wikipedia:King_Kong|King Kong]], a well-known American movie monster, and Bowser acts as a reference to [[wikipedia:Godzilla|Godzilla]], a movie monster hailing from Japan. As a result of these two appearing on Fourside (which ''EarthBound'' designed to be a parody of large, sprawling Japanese and American metropolises, common areas for monster films), the entire Event Match is similar to the most well-known of the Godzilla films, [[wikipedia:King Kong vs. Godzilla|King Kong vs. Godzilla]]. The inclusion of Tiny Mario and Tiny Peach emulates the frequent use of helpless civilians in such movies.

Gargantuans is the 25th event match of the 51 event matches in Super Smash Bros. Melee. In this match, the player's character is Giant Bowser and the enemy is Giant Donkey Kong and the match is on Fourside. The object is to beat Donkey Kong. There are also Tiny Mario and Peach to fight, but won't pose a threat since they will probably be KO'd by Giant Donkey Kong's first attack anyway. Since the player is big, their recovery distance will decrease and not be KO'd even on high damage. Donkey Kong will sometimes self-destruct between the two buildings on the right of the stage.

This event acts as a homage to monster films and the kaiju genre; the inclusion of Donkey Kong is a reference to King Kong, a well-known American movie monster, and Bowser acts as a reference to Godzilla, a movie monster hailing from Japan. As a result of these two appearing on Fourside, a large city environment like those seen in typical monster films, the entire Event Match is similar to the concept of the film King Kong vs. Godzilla. The inclusion of Tiny Mario and Tiny Peach emulates the frequent use of helpless civilians in such movies.

Tiny Mario and Peach do not make sounds during this event, and they do not have to be KO'd to clear the event.

During the battle, the song for Kongo Jungle plays, which doesn't otherwise happen on Fourside.
