No, the Super Saiyan was the plot point. It was the point that the whole series had hinged on.
Super Saiyan 2 was meant to be the pinnacle of Gohan's power. It was meant to be his latent power taking him higher than anyone else. It to, had most of the series building up to it.
Super Saiyan
was a plot device. Goku needed to be more powerful; give him a new transformation with no build up or anything.
Super Saiyan 4/Golden Oozaru was the same.
