Information:is an alternative and far stronger type of Great Ape. The transformation is first seen in Dragon Ball Z when Vegeta is telling the story of the Super Saiyan of legend. It reappears in Dragon Ball GT when Goku turns into the form before transforming to Super Saiyan 4. It is the result of a Saiyan in Great Ape form becoming a Super Saiyan.

Vegeta's filler flashback in Dragon Ball Z this form appears to be the Legendary Super Saiyan spoken of in Saiyan lore,as like the Super Saiyan spoken of in the legends this form exists solely for destruction and slaughter.|This state is attained by Saiyans who have a tail,along with the ability to become a Super Saiyan. By looking at either a full moon or a full planetary body (sunlight reflected from a planet also generates Blutz Waves, as Goku used the "full Earth" to transform) the Saiyan can transform. As the user is essentially a Super Saiyan Great Ape,their fur is golden-colored and stands on end similar to a Super Saiyan's spiky hair, but the user's appearance is identical to that of a regular Great Ape regardless (with the exception of Great Ape Baby,whose blue-colored eyes are possibly a result of Baby's mutation with Vegeta's body). Additionally,a golden,crackling aura is sometimes visible around the user.

According to FUNimation, Super Saiyan 3 is necessary to achieve this form.[6] This was only stated in the FUNimation Dub and is never stated or implied in the original Japanese version. Furthermore, the Vegeta that exists in the main Dragon Ball GT timeline does not possess the Super Saiyan 3 form, but he still possesses the ability to transform into the Golden Great Ape and Super Saiyan 4 forms.

The power of the Golden Great Ape multiplies many fold, far surpassing that of a Great Ape in all areas. The form is also more powerful than the Super Saiyan 3 transformation. While in this state,the power and strength of a Saiyan increase drastically and keeps growing. They have the same abilities as the Great Ape only even more powerful and destructive and their rage's peak goes so high,that they can cause major destruction. In Dragon Ball Z:Scouter Battle Taikan Kamehameha - Ora to Omee to Scouter,Golden Great Ape Baby is around 1.2x stronger than Super Baby 2.

Their berserk condition also increases to the point of becoming uncontrollable;in this state Goku was more than a match for Baby but was unable to focus on fighting him. Vegeta,while still infected by Baby, transformed into a Golden Great Ape and could use ki blast attacks while in this state. Pure breed Saiyans (such as Goku and Vegeta) that unlock this form and are capable of either obtaining or retaining their consciousness of their identity, thus controlling their powers as well, can use this form to achieve the level of Super Saiyan 4. Vegeta - who had complete control over his standard Great Ape form - acknowledged that he could not become a Super Saiyan 4 when he first changed into a Golden Great Ape due to being controlled by Baby at the time and thus being part Tuffle and during the Shadow Dragon Saga proved to be able to overcome the berserk state of the form and ascend to Super Saiyan 4 shortly after.

Yamoshi is depicted as utilizing the Golden Great Ape form.|Cumber uses this form during his battle with Vegito in the Prison Planet Saga of Super Dragon Ball Heroes,taking the form in an attempt to gain an advantage over Vegito's Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken. His transformation is later disrupted by Super Fu,who uses Surprise Blade (infused with a Power Ball) to revert the Saiyan to his base form.
