Giga Bowser: Difference between revisions

Yeah, I know it states it just a few paragraphs later, but I'd like to start off every article by saying what its subject's purposes are, such as "Mario is the main protagonist of the Mario series". Call me nitpicky, but that's how I like it.

'''Giga Bowser''' is the final boss of Adventure mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. As his name suggests, he is a gigantic version of [[Bowser]], and can only be fought after completing Adventure Mode in normal or higher difficulty within 18 minutes without using any continues. In the cutscene that follows when the player accomplishes this, Giga Bowser is created when a Bowser trophy falls onto the [[Final Destination]] stage, and is then immediately struck by lightning, right after the player defeats the giant Bowser. This revives the trophy, but the energy surge from the lightning causes the strange mutation that turns Bowser into Giga Bowser. 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 Event Match; The Showdown, with [[Ganondorf]] and [[Mewtwo]] fighting alongside him.

Giga Bowser was created as a throwback to the older "aggressive" look of Bowser from the pre-''[[Super Mario 64]]'' games. According to the ''Smash'' series director, [[Masahiro Sakurai]], he disliked having to use the newer design; he thought this original design was more frightening, appropriate for the character.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return575.html</ref>
