The Super Smash Bros. series has tons opportunities to run wild experiments thanks to the plethora of items and special modes available, yet despite layering effect after effect, the games continue to not break under the strain.

Nintendo Unity, the content creators who previously tested the highest damaging move in Smash Ultimate, recently released a new video exploring how to make Bowser as heavy as he can possibly be along with the repercussions of creating such a monster.

Bowser, who's normally already the heaviest on the cast at a base weight of 135, can be ridiculously beefed up with the use of multiple items, Spirits and Special Smash rules.

The most obvious ways to impact how heavy the Mario villain are to set matches to the Mega size and metal bodies, which multiplies his weight by 1.42 and 4.5 respectively.

This is further compounded by actually backfiring a Lightning Bolt item that causes Bowser to increase by 1.84 more that ends up reaching the final number of 2285.7 (when combined with the Spirits too).

As ways to test Bowser's almost 1,700% size increase, Nintendo Unity shows that Ganondorf's Smash attacks and Warlock Punch can't even make the metal giant flinch nor can the Golden Hammer.

A Home-Run Bat can make him slide and fall off of the stage, but Nintendo Unity was able to find one move that can send him flying for real, which you'll need to watch the video below to see.
