==Trivia==
*The artwork used for Nightmare's spirit has never been publicly released prior to ''Ultimate''. Based on the design and art style, it is presumably concept art from ''Metroid: Other M''.<!--the face's design matches the Other M in-game model, while the colors (especially the red highlights) and much of the artwork itself are almost identical to the previously-released Nightmare concept art from Other M's Gallery Mode (image comparison here: https://imgur.com/RcRUbMT)-->
*The artwork used for the Geemer spirit is actually identified as a Zoomer in the English translation of the ''Metroid: Zero Mission'' manual. It should be noted that "Geemer" and "Zoomer" are alternate translations of the same enemy name ({{ja|ギーマー|Gīmā}}), although the ''Metroid Prime'' series established Geemers and Zoomers as two separate but closely-related species.
*Prior to ''Ultimate'', "{{s|metroidwiki|Mecha Ridley}}" was an unofficial translation of Ridley Robot's Japanese name, which became popular enough as a nickname that it often was interchangeably used with the official name.
