Trivia[]

  • Each fighter has received a special codename in the game's files to conceal their identity and prevent leaks:
    • Joker is "jack", a possible reference to Jack Frost, one of the many demons found in the Megami Tensei series, one of the Personas the protagonist can acquire in the Persona series, and the mascot of Atlus. It could also be a reference to playing cards, which tend to have both jack and joker cards, as well as Joker's Wild Card ability that allows him to obtain and use multiple Personas, making him a "jack of all trades".
    • Hero is "brave", the direct translation of their Japanese name Yūsha.
    • Banjo & Kazooie are "buddy", due to being the only duo in the Fighters Pass.
    • Terry is "dolly", a reference to his Transcontinental Railroad stage in Fatal Fury 2 / Fatal Fury Special and The King of Fighters XIV, all of which take place on the dolly of a train.
    • Byleth is "master", a reference to their role as a Professor in Fire Emblem: Three Houses
    • Min Min is "tantan", the Japanese pronunciation of Dandan, a type of ramen noodles.
    • Steve is "pickel", a Japanese word that refers to ice axes. Though ice axes are not tools in Minecraft, the name could've been chosen for the "pick-" prefix as to reference Pickaxes as well as the nature of the tool itself.
    • Sephiroth is "edge", a reference to either his sword Masamune or the city named Edge prominently featured in the movie Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
    • Pyra and Mythra's are "flame" and "light", respectively, which are the literal translations of their Japanese names (Homura and Hikari), and "element" for when referring to both.
    • Kazuya is "demon", a reference to the Devil Gene and the Devil powers it gives him, as well as what he inherited from his mother Kazumi Hachijo and later passed on to his son Jin Kazama.
    • Sora is "trail", presumably due to being the last fighter to join the game.
  • All fighters in the Fighters Pass have cinematic Final Smashes that involve trapping opponents.
    • Terry, Sephiroth, Kazuya, and Sora are the only characters out of the eleven to not receive any assistance in their Final Smash.
  • All stages included in the Fighters Pass (with the exception of Northern Cave) have featured characters from their respective series making background cameo appearances.
  • All of the reveal trailers for the fighters in the Fighters Pass have the logo of their respective games being shown alongside the logo for Ultimate at the end (i.e. "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate x Persona 5" and etc.).
  • Joker, Hero, Steve, and Sephiroth are the only fighters to have their victory fanfares be direct rips.
    • Joker is the only character in the Pass to have more than one victory theme.
    • Kazuya is the only character in the Pass to not have one. Instead, the announcer calls on his name.
  • Hero's Challenger Pack is the only one with no remixes whatsoever, victory fanfare included.
  • Banjo & Kazooie, Min Min, and Sora are the only characters in the Fighters Pass to use voice clips repurposed from their original games as opposed to new lines recorded specifically for Ultimate.
  • Terry's Challenger Pack has the most amount of music, at 50, while Steve's has the least amount, at 7.
  • Terry and Sephiroth are the only characters to not be fought against in any Spirit Battles on their respective Spirit boards.
    • This also makes them the only two characters out of the entire roster to not be an opponent in any Spirit Battles in the whole game.
  • Byleth is the only fighter from a second-party series. Min Min and Pyra & Mythra are the only fighters from first-party games.
    • Coincidentally, all three made their debuts on the Nintendo Switch
    • Byleth is the most recently-debuted fighter in Smash, as Fire Emblem: Three Houses was released on July 2019.
    • Min Min represents the most recently made franchise in Smash, as ARMS debuted on June 2017.
  • Byleth and Sora are the only fighters to be announced in their presentations as all other characters were announced prior in Nintendo Directs (or in separate events, as is the case for Joker and Sephiroth in the 2018 and 2020 Game Awards respectively and Steve in a separate trailer reveal)
    • While Min Min herself was also revealed in her presentation, the announcement of the inclusion of an ARMS character was announced prior in the March Nintendo Direct Mini.
  • Steve is the only fighter in the Fighters Pass to lack any voice clips.
  • Sephiroth, Kazuya, and Sora are the only ones to feature other Fighters Pass characters in CGI in their reveal trailers; Hero and Banjo & Kazooie appear in Sephiroth's, Min Min appears in Kazuya's, and Byleth, Min Min, and Sephiroth are in Sora's.
  • Sephiroth's Challenger Pack has the most Spirits, at 13.
  • Pyra and Mythra's trailer is the only one to not be entirely written by Masahiro Sakurai, as the script and cinematics were outsourced to Monolith Soft themselves.
