The only three English voice actors from Star Fox Assault's western dub to reprise their respective roles in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Lylat Cruise conversations were:

•Jim Walker as Fox McCloud
•Alesia Glidewell as Krystal
•Mike McAuliffe as Slippy Toad

All the other characters were recasted:

•Falco Lombardi, now voiced by Dex Manley (originally Mike Madeoy)
•Wolf O'Donnell, now voiced by Jay Ward (originally Grant Goodeve)
•Peppy Hare, also now voiced by Dex Manley (originally Henry Dardenne)
•Leon Powalski, now voiced by Jim Walker (originally David Scully)
•Panther Caroso, now voiced by Eric Newsome (also originally David Scully)

This is not the case in the Japanese version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where literally of the Japanese voice cast from Assault, that also heavily comprised of returning voice actors from Star Fox 64, reprised their roles. More specifically, Kenji Nojima, Hisao Egawa, Kyoko Tongu, Tomohisa Aso, Teiya Ichiryusai, Mahito Ōba, Shinobu Satouchi and Tetsu Inada reprising their roles Fox, Falco, Peppy, Slippy, Krystal, Wolf, Leon and Panther respectively.

All of the characters in the game were chosen at the start of development. This means Geninja was chosen before Pokemon X & Y was released, and that its inclusion was not because of its popularity.

There was an open slot for a new Pokémon character, and the team began discussing who to put in it, eventually settling on Greninja. All the reference material they had for Greninja were simply drawings at that point. Sakurai went home the same day he received the Greninja reference material and stayed up until midnight to do the motion capture for the character.

According to Shinji Mikami, the developer of the game, the Super Nintendo box art originally featured the Genie on the front cover. However, Disney would not allow him to be featured on the front cover and he had to be moved to the back, in a much smaller image. Despite this, the Genie appeared on the front cover of the Genesis game.
