This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help Sonic Retro by expanding it.

Giganto is the first of the four Titans from Sonic Frontiers. It appears on the first island, Kronos Island.

Character conception

Giganto was a huge challenge of a boss fight to design. The actual model of the boss itself was easy enough but the fight with Sonic and figuring out where the Chaos Emerald would be was difficult. Morio Kishimoto wanted a stage where mass-produced Gigantos were left abandoned on the Chaos Island but this was cut from the final game.

Description

Giganto is a colossal humanoid of robotic appearance. It holds the last Chaos Emerald necessary for the Super Sonic transformation.

Strategy

First encounter

The first battle starts with Giganto launching boulders onto the air with his ground-breaking stomp, Sonic must use the Homing Attack to hit the boulders and approach the Titan. Once Sonic is close enough to Giganto, he can repeatedly hit its face with the Homing Attack up to 10 times until a cutscene is prompted.

Second encounter

In order to get to the emerald, Sonic must climb the Giganto first, by crossing the blue rings to dash him up faster and boosting to the top of the Titan. Sonic must avoid the red shockwaves however, since those can result on a loss of Rings and push him away from reaching the Titan's top. After reaching and interacting with the emerald vault on Giganto's head, a cutscene is triggered; showing the Super Sonic transformation before transitioning to the next phase of the battle.
