Gigabyte Grounds (known as Gigant Ground in Japanese) is the fourth level of Kirby: Planet Robobot. It has five regular stages, a boss stage, and an EX stage. The level takes place largely in a desert environment, but contains a factory, and a laboratory like the previous levels. There are eighteen Code Cubes to collect in this level, with three in every stage except the Boss one. The boss is Mecha Knight.

In Meta Knightmare Returns
All stages of Gigabyte Grounds are played in one sequence in Meta Knightmare Returns except for certain sections involving the Robobot Armor. Through this sequence, 4 Stickers can be found.
In addition, many enemies are re-sized - changing their Stamina and also possibly movement speed - and the Mid-Bosses are changed to their 2.0 forms. The fight with Mecha Knight is also replaced with Stock Mecha Knight, an effective 2.0 variant.
Finally, in place of Code Cubes, side areas yield Meta-Points, which can be used to power Meta Knight's special abilities.
Trivia
- Stages 3 and 5 feature a remix of the 'Studying the Factory' theme from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Stage EX features a different remix of this tune as well.
- Despite being called Gigant Ground in Japan, Gigant Edge appears nowhere in the level.
