==Trivia==
*The "DK with " sticker is labeled as coming from Mario Hoops 3-on-3 on the English version of Brawl, but this is a mistake, as it actually was for the first Mario vs. Donkey Kong game. This is not the case in the Japanese release.
*Mario + Rabbids and series composer Grant Kirkhope was first hinted about the prospect of Banjo and Kazooie in Smash when Davide Soliani, creative director of the former title, emailed him asking for his contact information on behalf of Nintendo saying Nintendo loved what Grant has done for the Mario + Rabbids soundtrack and wanted his help on an unspecified piece of music. Kirkhope was initially skeptical and speculated if it could be Banjo and Kazooie in Smash, but accepted the offer anyway; upon realizing that he was being asked to arrange music for 's appearance in Ultimate, he was incredibly excited to return to the characters.
*Princess Peach: Showtime! is the newest piece of media represented in the Smash series, releasing 5 years and 3 months after the release of Ultimate.
