Gigabite
Gigabite
Catch Card of a Gigabite from Super Paper Mario
First appearance Super Paper Mario (2007)
Variant of Megabite

Gigabites are pale flying skulls in Super Paper Mario found in secret areas in Chapter 7-1 (Subterranean Vacation) and 7-4 (A Bone-Chilling Tale). Their name is both a pun and portmanteau of "gigabyte", a unit of memory amounting to one billion bytes, and "bite". These extremely rare ghouls are stronger, white relatives of the Megabites. Gigabites only have 6 HP, but they only take 1 point of damage per hit, no matter how powerful the attack is. Although they fly near the ceiling most of the time, they will periodically swoop down and try to ram into intruders. Unlike Megabites, Gigabites will not flee from the scene and continue to fight the player.
