Checklist Guide and Rewards

Collect All 3 Parts in City Trial Mode

Gigantes can be unlocked by collecting all 3 parts in City Trial Mode. Its parts can be collected from Red Boxes scattered in Skyah.

City Trial Guide

Completing Gigantes Forces a VS Gigantes Stadium

The player who assembled Gigantes in City Trial will face against the entire lobby who will work together to beat them in the match. This forces a VS Gigantes stadium that starts once the countdown hits zero.

List of All Stadium Challenges

How to Defeat in Under 1 Minute and 45 Seconds in City Trial

  1. Remove Other CPUs In the Lobby
  2. Set Gigantes to Level 1
  3. Use Knuckle Joe or Meta Knight
  4. Ride the Jump Panel and Break the Bridge
  5. Destroy the Tracks With Panic Spin
  6. Break the Nozzle and Core With Meteor

Remove Other CPUs In the Lobby

Remove Other CPUs In the Lobby

As Gigantes gains increased HP the more CPUs there are in the lobby, it is highly recommended to create a lobby with only the player and enemy Gigantes.

Ally CPUs often do not contribute much to the fight, hence, it is recommended to have a one-on-one with Gigantes to avoid inflating its HP.

Set Gigantes to Level 1

Gigantes level 1

Setting Gigantes to level 1 will allow players to fight an immobile Gigantes. This greatly reduces the difficulty of the Checklist mission as players are free to deal damage without retaliation.

Use Knuckle Joe or Meta Knight

Meta KnightMeta Knight Knuckle JoeKnuckle Joe

It is highly recommended to use either Knuckle Joe or Meta Knight to fight Gigantes. Knuckle notably has a high hit count, allowing them to break the bridge and track without items.

Best Characters Tier List

Ride the Jump Panel and Demolish the Bridge

Use the jump panel nearby and head towards the bridge. Use items, quick spin, or auto attacks to quickly demolish the bridge.

Destroy the Tracks With Panic Spin

Once the bridge is broken, head to the ground and use Panic Spin to quickly destroy the four tracks. Panic Spin is highly efficient at dealing damage quickly, greatly reducing the time needed to defeat Gigantes.

Break the Nozzle and Core With Meteor

Find a Meteor item and use it to quickly break the nozzles and core. When unavailable, players may use Panic Spin or Laser Wiper to deal damage instead, as these items can deal high damage even in midair for the nozzle.

Does anyone happen to know the exact probability of Giantes appearing? I know it has less of a chance than the other legendary air ride machines but not the exact number.
