Giant Bowser
Giant Bowser is a minor boss that appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee and its sequel, Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Overview
In Melee
In Melee, Giant Bowser appears at the end of Adventure Mode, where he is fought at Final Destination. Under most circumstances, he acts as the final boss of the mode, and defeating him allows the player to finish the mode. If the difficulty is on Normal or higher, however, arriving at Final Destination within the span of 18 minutes and without using a Continue causes Giant Bowser to transform into Giga Bowser upon being KOed. From there, the player must defeat Giga Bowser as to clear the mode.
As a cosmetic change, Giant Bowser uses Bowser's black palette swap, if he is fought on Normal difficulty or higher.
Extra appearances by Giant Bowser include an immensely large version that appears in Event 25: Gargantuans against the computer controlled similarly-sized DK. He also reappears in Event 42: Trouble King 2, where the player, as Luigi, must KO him twice.
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.
