Min Min is one of fifteen fighters from the [[Nintendo Switch]] fighting game ''{{iw|armsinstitute|ARMS|game}}''. She is one of a select few people in the world to be born with a gene that grants {{iw|armsinstitute|ARMS|extendable}}, a phenomenon where the person's arms (or, in rare cases, other body parts) transmute into extendable helixes. In Min Min's case, her ARMS heavily resemble ramen noodles, fittingly in reference to her family operating the Mintendo Noodle House.

Unlike the other fighters, Min Min's left ARM can transform into a dragon ARM (regardless of whatever type of ARM is equipped) when her ARMS are fully {{iw|armsinstitute|charge}}d for longer than usual, or upon successfully [[armsinstitute:Grab|throwing]] an opponent. This effect increases that ARM's size significantly and causes it to remain charged indefinitely. However, this effect can be deactivated if Min Min is hit with a charged punch, knocked down, or if her left ARM is disabled. In addition to her ARMS, Min Min is a talented martial artist, and utilizes kicks that enable her to deflect an opponent's punches.

*Min Min is the fourth fighter to originate from a fighting game, following [[Ryu]], [[Ken Masters]], and [[Terry Bogard]].
**Technically, she is the second exclusively female DLC fighter after Bayonetta, due to female Corrin and female Byleth being [[Alternate costume|alternate characters]] of their respective male counterparts, and Kazooie being paired with [[Banjo]].
*Min Min is the fourth fighter to originate from a fighting game, following [[Ryu]], [[Ken Masters]], and [[Terry Bogard]], then later, [[Kazuya Mishima]].
**She is also the first female and first-party character to come from this genre, as well as the first to debut in a 3D fighting game.
*Min Min's playable inclusion in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' marks the first time a newly included franchise's fighter is not the flagship character or mascot in some form (such as one who is the main protagonist) or prominently featured in official media in some form (such as box art).

*Min Min is the second fighter whose system of origin is the Nintendo Switch, following Byleth (discounting ''{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}'').
*Perhaps coincidentally, Min Min's [[neutral attack#Rapid jabs|rapid jab]] bears a slight resemblance to {{iw|wikipedia|Chun-Li}}'s Hyakuretsukyaku in {{uv|Street Fighter}}. Like Chun-Li, Min Min hails from a fighting game, and is a practitioner of {{iw|wikipedia|Chinese martial arts}}.

**Three of these reflectors are [[smash attack]]s. However, Min Min's reflector is her up smash instead of her forward smash, unlike Ness and Lucas.
*Interestingly, while Min Min's name is spelled identically to English in the Japanese ''ARMS'' official website, the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions of ''Ultimate'' spell it as a single word ("MinMin").
