 Though Giant Bowser's size has stayed roughly the same across the franchise, the method used to enlarge him is inconsistent, though it almost always occurs with outside help and when Bowser is in a life-threatening situation. For example, in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] enlarges Bowser after he falls into [[lava]].

 Most importantly, the effects of the invention keeps Bowser's invincibility when he uses the Star Rod, even when Mario attempts to use [[Star Beam]] to nullify the effect. With this, [[Princess Peach]] and [[Twink]] battle Kammy Koopa and defeat her, with Peach using Twink's wishes to upgrade Star Beam to [[Peach Beam]]. With this, Mario can nullify Bowser's invincibility once again.

 In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', once the [[Black paint]] returns to [[Bowser]], it reverts him back to his [[Black Bowser]] form and slightly increases his size. When Mario tries to battle him, he realizes that Bowser's black paint just comes back to him and he cannot block his attacks. With this, Huey turns himself into a [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|Battle Card]] for Mario to use, which allows Mario to revert Huey into his 3D form.

-In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the final battle in {{World|8|bowsern}} is against both Bowser Jr. and an enlarged Bowser, created when the former throws [[Dry Bowser]]'s bones into a potion. This version of Giant Bowser is only about half again larger than normal Bowser, unlike most appearances. For the first part of the battle, he stays in place, blocking the way through and occasionally shooting fireballs, letting his son do most of the direct attack. However, once Bowser Jr. is defeated, Bowser flies into a rage and begins attacking in earnest. Additionally, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] will get knocked back in addition to taking damage if they touch Bowser. When he jumps, Mario can get past him to the [[skull switch]], defeating him. Alternatively, he can be defeated earlier with certain power-ups.

 In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Giant Bowser is a playable character, who is only used during giant battles. When he is crushed, he falls in a dying state and [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] must go to the [[Rump Command]], where they play a [[minigame]] to spike Bowser's adrenaline to revive him. Once this is done, Bowser will enter a state of {{wp|hysterical strength}} and grow large enough to fight whatever is threatening him. The first time this happens, Bowser attempts to fire a [[Banzai Bill]] at [[Bowser's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|his castle]], but the castle activates rockets, and it lands on top of Bowser. However, he grows giant and lifts the castle up. He then fights it as a boss. Later, he is exploring [[Blubble Lake]] when he comes across a large propeller, belonging to the [[Tower of Yikk]]. After he activates the propeller by [[Nose Deck|sneezing]], the tower comes to life and stomps on him. Bowser is enlarged once again to fight it. Later he must battle the [[Fawful Express]] at Bowser Castle (which runs Bowser over) and a robotic, "Fawfulized" version of [[Peach's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Peach's Castle]] called [[Super Peach's Castle of Fury]] (which crushes Bowser).
