'''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]]. The objective is to beat [[Giant Donkey Kong]]. Tiny {{SSBM|Mario}} and tiny {{SSBM|Peach}} also appear. However, they do not impose a threat, since they are usually KO'd by Donkey Kong's first attack. Donkey Kong will sometimes [[self-destruct]] between the two buildings on the right of the stage. Plus, the player can also survive at high damage (around 200%-999% damage) due to their size and knockback reduction modifiers when they are damaged by DK. | '''Gargantuans''' is the 25th [[event match]] of the 51 event matches in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

This event acts as a homage to monster films and the {{s|wikipedia|kaiju}} genre; the inclusion of [[Giant Donkey Kong]] is a reference to {{s|wikipedia|King Kong}}, a well-known American movie monster, and [[Giant 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. | This event acts as a homage to monster films and the {{s|wikipedia|kaiju}} genre; the inclusion of [[Giant Donkey Kong]] is a reference to {{s|wikipedia|King Kong}}, a well-known American movie monster, and [[Giant Bowser]] acts as a reference to {{s|wikipedia|Godzilla}} (a movie monster hailing from Japan).
