In the Mushroom Kingdom stage, pausing the game and looking off to the left or right of the stage to see outside of the standard gameplay field of view, it's possible to see walls with warnings signs reading "Danger" on them, warning the player of the stage's boundary. Despite the Mushroom Kingdom stage having a different design in Super Smash Bros. Melee, these signs still appear in the stage.

The reflections found on the Fountain of Dreams and the models inside the magnifying glass when a character is offscreen are not actually the character's model, but rather a low res version of the model. These versions of the models don't show any item the character is holding, nor do their facial expression change.

Although the Dream Land stage looks perfectly normal, in Event 48: Pikachu and Pichu, the Dream Land stage is twice its normal size. It's unknown why, but some consider it to be because of the difficulty of the 3 -on-1 parameters of the event requiring a larger stage size.

The final roster was originally going to have a total of 20 characters (not counting Shiek). However, at some point during development, the developers felt the roster wasn't large enough, so several model-swap characters were added. These include Dr. Mario, Young Link, Falco, Ganondorf, Pichu and Roy.

Event 44: Mewtwo Strikes! is a reference to the first Pokémon movie, the main feature of which was titled "Mewtwo Strikes Back."
In the event the main objective is to K.O. Mewtwo without K.O.'ing Zelda, Mewtwo only appears 15 seconds into the battle.
Zelda also has a darker appearance in the event, which references how Nurse Joy, still under control by Mewtwo, disguises herself as the mystery woman in the movie.
