Sorry if this isn't in the right thread, but the old thread is getting a bit too cluttered.

I was playing in Adventure mode, on Normal, with Roy. I had used one continue. I was on Final Destination, and I was having a bit of trouble beating Bowser, so I laid down a mine and hit him into it. He flew off screen, Roy twirled his sowrd, said something in Jap., and planted his sword in the ground, Boswers' statue fell down into the abyss, and my point totals came up. After I hit start, Bowsers' statue came back up. It sat there for a moment, then lightning hit it, and the statue broke, revealing one MEAN bowser. This guy was a total badass!! He was flicking me around like a chew toy!! I had 120% damage, while I had only managed to inflict 20%!!! He not only WAS mean, he LOOKED mean. He looked like he belonged in the old E3 videos of Zelda!!----crooked spikes and a mean look on his face----maybe he was what Miyamoto meant when he said Mario was going to grow up? Has anyone been able to beat him?

MWoody

Yeah. He's "Giga Bowser", and appears after you beat Bowser in "Normal" mode or higher (possibly without continuing, according to GameFaqs, but I've seen him appear after one continue). Tough, but not unbeatable; just concentrate on damage-dealing attacks until he's in the 200% range, and let loose.

And if you think that's tough, wait 'till you get to the Event Match with good 'ol "Left Hand..."

Get Me Coffee

how do you get to fight giga bowser?

Neitzl

Off topic but....how the hell do you beat event match 45 or something like that...it's peach and dr mario. Man, they smack me around to badly, it ain't even funny!

Also, I think I collected all trophies in classic mode, but I still have two characters that have question marks in the place. Am I missing something? I know one of them is mewtwo, but I thought Clock was supposed to challenge me after fighting with all the characters.

And if you think match 45 is bad, you have some unpleasant surprises in store...

This is exactly why we were keeping a One and Only Super Smash Bros: Melee Thread.

joltaddict,

Yup, read that one. I'm too lazy to search or go looking for it, so I posted on this one.

There you go quoting yourself Sorry! Next time I'll open my eyes.

Chaos

When I played it, I was getting smacked around pretty badly, but then Dr. Mario slipped, and fell off the cliff, so I just had Peach to deal with, which was tough enough.

Also, Maybe Giga Bowser is what Miyamoto meant when he said Mario was going to grow up?

Aghama

I doubt it, the game was designed by HAL and I'm sure Miyamoto had little, if any, input.

MWoody

Nah, he's probably referring to his acceptance of the painfully obvious "lifestyle choice" of his younger brother.

Anyone else get that vibe from everyone's second favorite plumber?
