Trivia

  • The banner for the event pays homage to Pokemon Red and Blue, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Final Fantasy VII, Sonic the Hedgehog, Kirby's Dream Land and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
  • Character eligibility appears to be based on the Japanese release year of their base costume, not any alternate costumes. Hero was not present despite Solo originating from the 1990s; the Pokémon Trainer was present despite their female costume originating from the 2000s.
    • The exception to this is Wario, whose base costume debuted in 2003, while his alternate overalls costume is the basis for his inclusion, having debuted in 1992.
  • Spiral Mountain is the only stage from a 1990s game not present in the event.
    • This could arguably also apply to Kongo Falls, Castle Siege, Coliseum and King of Fighters Stadium, as while these stages are not based on specific games, the concepts originate from Donkey Kong Country, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, and Fatal Fury: King of Fighters respectively, all of which were released in the 1990s.
  • Mushroom Kingdom II is present in the event despite coming from a 1980s game (1987's Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic in Japan and 1988's Super Mario Bros. 2 in North America), because Super Mario Bros. 2 itself (known as Super Mario USA in Japanese) first released in Japan in 1992.
  • The European/Australian name may be a reference to Maurizio De Jorio's song "Running in the 90s".
  • Final Destination is present in the event, but not Battlefield, despite both originating from the original Super Smash Bros.. This is likely due to Smash 64's variation of Battlefield having a different name, being known as Duel Zone.
