'''Giga Bowser''' is a giant and powerful version of [[Bowser]], created as a throwback to the older "aggressive" look of Bowser from games prior to ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.<ref> | '''Giga Bowser''' is a giant and powerful version of [[Bowser]], created as a throwback to the older "aggressive" look of Bowser from games prior to ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return575.html</ref> He looks more ferocious, with a larger body, a spikier scaled shell, more muscular physique, and a new curve to his lengthened horns. In addition, Giga Bowser is more difficult to battle than his smaller counterpart. He first appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as the final boss of [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode (SSBM)|Adventure Mode]] in higher [[smashwiki:Difficulty|difficulties]]. Despite being an alternate form of a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' character, Giga Bowser is instead officially considered to be a character of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], and has no ''Super Mario'' appearances. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Giga Bowser's [[smashwiki:Series symbol|symbol]] has the ''Super Smash Bros.'' symbol, not a [[Mushroom]] like characters of the ''Super Mario'' franchise. Following his debut, Giga Bowser has been featured as [[Bowser]]'s [[Final Smash]] in all subsequent games of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. | ||

Giga Bowser | Giga Bowser first debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', where the player could face him after completing Adventure Mode on normal or higher difficulty within 18 minutes without using any continues, facing a black-colored Giant Bowser. In the default scenario, after defeating Bowser, the player launches and drops the Bowser trophy off-stage. In the altered cutscene, the Bowser trophy re-emerges from the pit and gets struck by lightning. This revives the trophy, but the energy surge from the lightning turns Bowser into Giga Bowser. Once the player defeats Giga Bowser, the Bowser trophy falls off the stage once more and explodes, destroying it. Defeating Giga Bowser in Adventure Mode awards the player 100,000 points, along with the Giga Bowser trophy. Additionally, he is one of the opponents in the final [[smashwiki:Event match|Event Match]], [[smashwiki:Event 51: The Showdown|The Showdown]], with [[Ganondorf]] and [[Mewtwo]] fighting alongside him. | ||
In the Japanese and American versions, an unused voice clip has the narrator referring to Giga Bowser as "Giga Koopa" (Giga Bowser's Japanese name) when the language settings are set to English. Additionally, when the language is set to Japanese, the narrator calls him "Giga Bowser" even though Bowser is named "Koopa" in Japanese. This does not apply to the European and Australian versions, as the "Giga Koopa" voice clip is removed and the "Giga Bowser" one is used for all languages. | |||

*Although Giga Bowser has identical voice clips to Bowser's, their pitch level is altered so that they sound deeper in ''Super Smash Bros.

It is possible to give Bowser the exact same pitch level for his voice clips as Giga Bowser by having him grow to giant-size by the Lightning. | *Although Giga Bowser has identical voice clips to Bowser's, their pitch level is altered so that they sound deeper in ''Super Smash Bros.
