Since Star Fox Adventures was in development at the same time as Melee, the cast of Adventures would voice Fox (Steve Malpass), Falco (Ben Cullum), and Peppy and Slippy (Chris Seavor) within the English versions of the Corneria and Venom stages in Super Smash Bros. Melee, despite both stages being based on Star Fox 64.

After the Super Smash Bros. release in Japan, Nintendo began a poll to gauge public interests for future roster additions. Of the top ten, seven have since been added, with the remaining three left out. James Bond was most likely left out due to legal reasons, as he is not originally a video game character and belongs to a more strict estate. While not playable, Mew and Toad both make cameos with Mew being a rare Pokeball result and Toad being used in one of Peach's attacks in later games.

Attachment When the game was in later beta-stages, the buttons had different functions compared to the final release. The functions of the A and B buttons were swapped when compared to the final version; Links sword was assigned to the A button, and the B button was for action commands. Also during this period, the action-button didn't involve rolling. Instead, it was context sensitive and would trigger things like jumps in combat or get information from Navi.

Attachment In the first Japanese release for the Dreamcast, a mechanical cowgirl billboard could be seen within Casinopolis. It would moan whenever the player touched it and was removed in international copies of the game for obvious reasons. This version however was also toned down from the Sonic Adventure Auto Demo prototype, where the girl was a fully fleshed playboy-style bunny. [Image credit: evilhamwizard]

The game is actually simply a modified reskin of the Japanese-only release "Puyo Puyo". The first training levels of Puyo Puyo were removed from the game, but they can be put back in through hacking. If this is done, the Puyo Puyo characters Skeleton T., Nasu Grave, and Mummy are replaced by a character that has the intro of Coconuts with the mugshot of Scratch.

Attachment On the early releases of the game, Sonia appears on a playing card representing the Queen of Diamonds which can be spotted on the ground of the race track, Roulette Road. Sonia's head was taken from a piece of fan art from Deviantart drawn by a user formerly known as Lightning_duchess (now RianaLD). Steve Lycett, Game director commented on the cameo by saying; "We take these things seriously at Sumo and will be contacting the original artist directly to offer our sincere apologies to her, this was entirely unintentional. Not much else I can really add!" This image was only supposed to be used as a place holder.

Attachment At one point in development, Sonic CD was going to be a playable option in the game. The entire European manual was scanned and is fully viewable in the game; however, no known prototype exists with an image file of the actual game (some people have chalked it up to size constraints and others to technical constraints). There are also two listings in the same prototype for "Sonic the Hedgehog the Movie 1" and "Sonic the Hedgehog the Movie 2," suggesting that the OVA was going to be in the game as well, and would have been split into two parts like the original 1996 Japanese VHS release.

On January 24, 2013, Lycett has confirmed that Ryo Hazuki had been approved for development.

Princess Daisy's country of origin, Sarasaland, takes its name from the calico textiles imported by Portuguese traders from India to Japan during the Edo Period. Calico became widely popular in Japan to the point the Portuguese word for it, sarasa, was adapted into the Japanese language.

Calico (or sarasa) textiles are most commonly flower patterns made up of multiple, contrasting colors. This is why it is ruled by Daisy, a flower-inspired princess. And just as animal color patterns are named after the fabric (i.e., calico cats, calico goldfish, etc.) it's name alludes to the fact it is comprised of multiple, diverse kingdoms. The reason it is written as "Sarasaland," is because of the poor localization for the English release of Super Mario Land. In Japanese, it is: サラサ・ランド. Properly translated to English, it would be: Calico Land. A space or hyphen can be used in place of the interpoint.

Subsequent descriptions have rendered the name differently, as well:
•The ''Official Game Boy Players Guide'' omits the word land completely: "Sarasa"
•The Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins manual spaces the name out, but still leaves calico untranslated: "Sarasa Land"
•The Daisy trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee hyphenates the name and leaves the 'L' in "Land" lowercase: "Sarasa-land"
•Daisy's Mario Superstar Baseball profile misspells sarasa with "ra" added on the end: "Sarasara Land"
