Trivia

 * This event match is a reference to Super Mario Bros. 2, which features Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach as playable characters.
 * This event match's Japanese name, Super Mario USA is derived from the Japanese name of Super Mario Bros. 2 when it became a redeveloped format of the Japan-exclusive game, Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic for its international release.
 * This event match's description is slightly inaccurate, since Toad, one of the four main playable characters in Super Mario Bros. 2 is not present as a playable character; however, it can be argued that Toad is present as one of Peach's attacks, giving the description accuracy.
 * This is the second event match in Melee that references an NES title, the first being Event 31: Mario Bros. Madness, which is a reference to Super Mario Bros.
