Giant Bowser
- Giant Bowser is not to be confused with Giga Bowser.
Giant Bowser is a minor boss that appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee and its sequel, Smash Bros. Brawl.
Overview
In Melee
In Melee, Giant Bowser appears at the end of Adventure Mode, where he is fought at Final Destination. He may or may not be the last boss. If he uses Bowser's default palette swap, he is the last boss, only if the difficulty is on Very Easy Mode or Easy Mode. If he uses the black palette swap, however, the last boss is Giga Bowser if the difficulty is on Normal Mode or higher, the player does not use a continue, and Giant Bowser is defeated within 18 minutes.
Extra appearances include an immensely large version (over twice as large as the normal Super Mushroom Bowser) that appears in Event 25: Gargantuans against the computer controlled, similarly-sized DK, plus a super-tiny Mario and Peach. He reappears in Event 42: Trouble King 2 for Luigi to KO.
In Brawl
Giant Bowser returns with Giant DK in Brawl, and they are joined by a new giant enemy: Giant Charizard. In Event 27: Three-Beast Carnage, Giant Bowser allies with Giant DK and Giant Charizard in attacking New Pork City.
