{{iw|bulbapedia|Splash|move}} is a Normal-type move: while being part of the starting moveset of several Pokémon, it has no effect whatsoever. It is most commonly associated with {{pkmn|Magikarp}} and, in contrast with its ''Smash'' depiction, Goldeen is not able to learn it in any game. However, the exact usage of it in ''Smash'' is likely a reference to {{s|bulbapedia|Misty's Goldeen}} from the anime, who was notable for being completely useless on land, and would only be able to flop around similarly to the Goldeen in ''Smash'' unless in the water.

Goldeen's Japanese voice clip used in every ''Smash'' game is from the ''Pokémon'' anime episode ''Pokémon Emergency'', where it flops on the floor as it does in the ''Smash'' games. Goldeen's English voice clip used in ''Smash 64'' is from the episode ''Pokémon Shipwreck'', while the English clip used in every game since ''Melee'' is from ''Snack Attack''.

**Evolving Goldeen into Seaking does not prevent it from being able to learn {{iw|bulbapedia|Megahorn|move}}, though like many evolved Pokémon, Seaking learns new moves at a later level than its previous form (and there do exist examples of evolved Pokémon being unable to learn some moves that their previous form can).

*Goldeen is the only Poké Ball Pokémon in ''Smash 4'' who does not sport a player-dependent tag on its head when summoned.
*Goldeen is the only Poké Ball Pokémon in ''Smash 4'' who does not sport a player-dependent tag on its head when summoned.
*In the Japanese games, Goldeen's voice clip comes from the ''Pokémon'' anime episode ''Pokémon Emergency'', where it also flopped about on the floor as it does in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.
*Even though, on principle, Goldeen flops around due to being summoned on dry land, it will still maintain this behavior in stages where the player can tread water (and thus, throwing a Poké Ball into a body of water will not cause it to be lost), such as [[Delfino Plaza]], or in stages that take place underwater, such as [[Hanenbow]].
