Gigatzo is an invincible unmoving enemy that debuts in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It is a larger counterpart to Shotzo characterized by its large red barrel and giant flaming projectiles it fires in a straight path that cannot be Inhaled or reflected, though it usually fires these infrequently.

Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition[edit]

In the Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition mode New Challenge Stages, Gigatzo appears as an obstacle in the Normal Challenge course, looking and behaving exactly as it did in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It does not appear in any of the other courses.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

Gigatzo returns in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. In this game, it gains a slight redesign, and it is not quite as large as its appearance in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.
