I think it's somewhat odd that Next Level Games is still listed under this page, considering how they have a fair amount of content in Ultimate. Super Mario Strikers is represented with 2 spirits and the Soccer Ball item, Punch-Out's representation is largely based on their contributions to the series, there's a fair amount from their Luigi's Mansion games (including Luigi's Mansion 3), and there's even a bit of content from Federation Force. I'd argue that they deserve to be upgraded to having their own page, considering how Retro Studios and PlatinumGames have their own pages despite not being listed in Ultimate's copyright. Plus, Next Level is now a first-party Nintendo studio, and, like Retro, their representation in the game is tied directly into character appearances and movesets (namely Little Mac and Luigi). I get that Retro Studios actually created Dark Samus while Next Level only redesigned Little Mac, but I still think it would make sense for them to have their own page, whereas other Nintendo-owned/Nintendo partner studios like NDCube, Camelot, Good-Feel, Grezzo, and MercurySteam don't have as much going for them. Heck, Retro Studios didn't even have a page until Dark Samus was announced for Ultimate - so why not have Next Level? Would love to hear what thoughts people have on the matter!

== Sikorsky Aircraft ==
Sikorsky Aircraft helped develop the Cypher, which is used for Snake's up special. So, should they be added here? [[User:AgedofallStrings|AgedofallStrings]] ([[User talk:AgedofallStrings|talk]]) 22:29, December 6, 2021 (EST)
:Considering Sikorsky Aircraft has only created the real-life inspiration of the Cypher and has no involvement with the ''Metal Gear'' series itself (AFAIA, anyway), it would definitely belong more on [[User:Aidanzapunk/List of non-gaming media representation|this page]], but even then, I'm not sure if it should really qualify there, either.

::It is used in the Metal Gear series.  A Cypher is used by The Patriots during the Tanker chapter, taking a picture of Snake standing over a defeated Olga Gurlukovich in order to frame him for a terrorist attack on the marine tanker Discovery. There are also the Gun Cypher Enemies. They were also the automated flying security cameras that patrolled the bridges between the struts of the Big Shell in Metal Gear Solid 2. So, maybe?

== Phoenix Planning ==
Does anybody know what Phoenix Planning is? It’s listed in Ultimate's credits but I couldn’t find anything on it. [[User:Ss4|Ss4]] ([[User talk:Ss4|talk]]) 13:52, January 25, 2022 (EST)
:I couldn't find anything either. Found companies in the UK and Japan, but they were both about planning/logistics/etc. and nothing to do with video games, which is what Phoenix Planning is listed under in the credits. Lot's of stuff about Phoenix, Arizona's Planning and Development division, but still not useful. Perhaps one of the "other" spirits' games had PP has part of the dev team but was uncredited for some reason or for a very specific localization. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 18:16, January 25, 2022 (EST)
==Credited Companies==
I like the idea of the Credited companies section, though some guidelines should be put in place to make sure a war over what goes where doesn't happen. My initial idea is that companies that are credited, but did not directly make something that appears in the ''Smash'' series should not have a dedicated section. For example, companies that created an asset sourced from elsewere like avex and Edelweiss should receive their own section, but companies that are credited exclusively for legal reasons like NexTone and Sikorsky should be put in the credited company section. I am also debating over whether trailer animation houses should have a dedicated section or not.[[User:The Other Jared|The Other Jared]] ([[User talk:The Other Jared|talk]]) 01:50, October 16, 2022 (EDT)
== On the sound scale of things.. ==
...do companies from which sound effects, samples and instruments were used like Sound Ideas, Apple, Toho and Roland warrant a mention or a they far too minor? <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:GameDestroyer2008|GameDestroyer2008]] ([[User talk:GameDestroyer2008|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/GameDestroyer2008|contribs]]) 09:34, October 16, 2022 (EDT)</small>
== Wham-O ==
one of the trophies in ''For Wii U'' is called "Frisbee® Dog" in Europe, complete with registered trademark symbol - should Wham-O be added to the minor companies as a result or is their contribution too minor?
