Template:Infobox Final Smash SSB4 Giga Mac (ギガ・マック, Giga Mac) is Little Mac's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. 4. It is a transformation-type move, like Giga Bowser and Wario-Man.

Using Giga Mac transforms Little Mac into Giga Mac. Giga Mac is much taller than Little Mac and has the same moves but with a much higher power and range. Giga Mac's aerial attacks are still very weak, but his smash attacks can be one hit KOs if fully charged, along with the Straight Lunge. Like Giga Bowser, Giga Mac cannot be launched and does not flinch when attacked, but he can still receive damage. During the time Little Mac is under the effects of Giga Mac, his Power Meter becomes temporarily disabled. Doc Louis will not call out during Giga Mac's taunts.

Trophy Description

This final Smash turns Little Mac into a hulking monster of a man. In Punch-Out!! for Wii, Little Mac could take this form by building up the gauge with some well-timed blows. In this game, it seriously powers up his attacks and makes him even faster. He'll completely dominate on the ground, but air battles are outside his weight class.

Origin

In the two-player mode of Punch-Out!! for the Wii, both players control a Little Mac; either can turn into Giga Mac after punching the opponent enough times in a certain area. If they do, the game then shifts from two evenly-matched Little Macs fighting in split-screen to gameplay resembling the single-player mode, with Little Mac fighting a larger and slower Mac. The player controlling Giga Mac gains slower but stronger attacks, in addition to a taunt.

Trivia

  • In Punch-Out!! Wii, there is another Giga Mac color scheme used by the brown haired Little Mac controlled by the second player. In Super Smash Bros. 4, however, Giga Mac only has one color scheme regardless of the palette swap that Little Mac had prior to using the Final Smash. This is similar to Wario-Man and Giga Bowser, who only have one costume as well.
  • In the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U demo, due to a glitch, if Giga Mac touches a spring, he will be stuck in his blind pose for the remaining duration of the Final Smash.
  • While the transformation is a size increase for Little Mac, Giga Mac is actually only slightly larger than Bowser.
  • Even though his wireframe alternate outfit removes his voice, Little Mac still makes a vocal sound upon transforming.
