I believe the answer is:

large

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'huge' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'ultimately colossal mega bumper big' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
'big' becomes 'ge' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The last letters of 'colossal mega bumper' are 'lar'.
'lar'+'ge'='LARGE'

Can you help me to learn more?
