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).

Mr. Game & Watch is the only character that cannot L-cancel all of his aerials, as the game reads Mr. Game & Watch's back-air, neutral air, and up-air as special moves. This was fixed in Brawl.

In Home-Run Contest, although the in-game counter stops at 9,999.9 ft, the signs in the stadium continue to count distance past 10,000 ft, although the stadium past 10,000 has no collision, and Sandbag falls through the world.

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.

On the stage select screen, a small 3D preview of the stage that the cursor is hovered over is displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen. Hovering over the "Random" option shows nothing in this space, however it does displayed a model of a tall tilted structure outside of the player's viewpoint. This can only be displayed by altering the game's camera in emulation.
