Trivia

• The three characters fought in this match have at least one attack that wields darkness, possibly representing evil.
  • All three characters are villains from highly represented franchises; Giga Bowser from the Mario franchise, Ganondorf from the Zelda franchise, and Mewtwo from the Pokémon franchise (though it is debatable if Mewtwo is a villain or not).
• Mewtwo may be a referance to the Pokemon: The First Movie. Mewtwo is depicted as a cruel-hearted Pokemon, created by Team Rocket for power, even being called the strongest Pokemon.
• The final event match in Brawl is very similar to this event match, with Giant Mario representing Giga Bowser and Sonic and Snake representing Mewtwo and Ganondorf. The event match is also fought on the Final Destination stage.
• When Chansey is released from a Poké Ball, only the eggs with battle items or explosive ones will be thrown to the stage, not healing ones, since no healing items appear at all.
