*[[Clefairy]] was considered for inclusion as a [[clone]] of [[Kirby]] at the same rate as [[Jigglypuff]].<ref>[https://archive.org/details/64dream-may-1999-ozidual/64Dream%201999%2005%20%28J%20OCR%29/page/n91/mode/2up?view=theater The 64 DREAM May 1999, p. 91]. ところで、「どうして隠しキャラにプリンが?」っていう意見もあったりするんですが。 / ふつうの格闘ゲームは、基本になる骨格などを一緒に作って、やられるモーションなども使いまわすことができるんです。でも「スマブラ」の場合は基本の8キャラがすべて異なる体型で作られているんですね。その上、やられパターンとか倒れパターン、それに起き上がりら攻撃パターンや崖捕まりパターンなど、それぞれ違う作りをしていて、それらを全て作るのは、ふつうの格闘っていうレベルでみてもすごく大変なことなんです。それで、隠れキャラは基本キャラの骨格を使い回すことを前提にしたんです。なので、ネスとルイージはマリオと同じ骨格でできてるし、ファルコンはサムス、プリンはカービィと一緒というわけなんです。プリンを選んだのはそういった骨格の類似性もありましたが、それとは別に、「人気ポケモンは?」って考えたときに、最後まで残ったのがピッピとプリンだったんですね。カービィ体形でピッピを作ることも可能だったと思いますけど、とりあえずキャラクター的な性格からして、プリンの方がやられ役っぽさがあったので選びました。</ref> | |||

*Every character has an unused animation that will instantly KO them when activated, similar to the [[instant KO]] in later installments. It is unsure what the animation was for, but it is speculated it was going to be for an unused stage KO feature, possibly activated if a character was eaten by a Piranha Plant or sank in Planet Zebes' acid.[https://www.youtube.com/watch? | *Every character has an unused animation that will instantly KO them when activated, similar to the [[instant KO]] in later installments.

*Both {{SSB|Jigglypuff}} and {{SSB|Pikachu}} have leftover data of an unused alternate costume for each of them.

These would be their fourth alternate costume, although only three are accessible in a free for all battle. Pikachu's fourth alternate costume was to be a yellow party hat, and Jigglypuff's fourth alternate costume was to be a yellow bow. These alternate costumes are not accessible through debug mode, but if they are accessed through other means, the skin hues for both Pikachu}} and Jigglypuff will be abnormal, but the hat or bow will remain green. Normally, invalid alternate costumes would yield a corrupted stock icon and the latest occurring costume, but Jigglypuff and Pikachu are the only exceptions to this rule. | ||
*Sakurai mentioned that he considered having {{SSB|Fox}}'s alternate costumes being based off of other members of the Star Fox team, [[Falco Lombardi]] (who became playable starting in ''Melee''), [[Peppy Hare]], and [[Slippy Toad]], but Sakurai decided against it and used the ones that were completely original to the game due to the fact that Slippy | *Sakurai mentioned that he considered having {{SSB|Fox}}'s alternate costumes being based off of other members of the Star Fox team, [[Falco Lombardi]] (who became playable starting in ''Melee''), [[Peppy Hare]], and [[Slippy Toad]], but Sakurai decided against it and used the ones that were completely original to the game due to the fact that Slippy didn't have a moveset like the others. Starting from ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', the concept of a fighter with different characters as alternate costumes would be reutilized for various characters, such as [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Olimar]], [[Hero]] and [[Steve]].<ref>https://sourcegaming.info/2015/03/30/smash-reader-response-page-5/</ref> | ||
