+*The ''Mario'' universe features the most amount of new spirits added through [[Downloadable content (SSBU)/List of DLC Spirits|downloadable content]], with 18 in total.
 *{{SSBU|Dr. Mario}} and {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} are not featured as puppet fighters in any ''Mario'' spirit battle, making the ''Mario'' series one of three playable universes to not feature all playable characters from the series in their spirit battles, with the other two being {{uv|Final Fantasy}} and {{uv|Fatal Fury}}.
 *Metal Mario, Eggplant Man, Rabbid Peach, Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Kong, and Peach (Mario Golf: Super Rush) are the only ''Mario'' spirits whose spirit battles do not play music track from the {{uv|Mario}} universe.
 *The Baby Peach, Waluigi, and Wanda spirits are generically listed as being from the "Super Mario Series", despite not debuting in a mainline ''Super Mario'' game outside of cameos.
+**This also applies to the Peach & Stella and Swordfighter Peach spirits, as they originate from ''{{iw|mariowiki|Princess Peach: Showtime!}}'', but are listed as from the ''Super Mario'' series despite the game being a new spinoff similar to ''Super Princess Peach'', while the latter is  listed as a separate game rather than part of other series.
 *The Captain Toad and Flies & Hand spirits are the only ''Mario'' spirits who are listed as part of a series within the ''Mario'' universe, despite being released in a singular game outside of re-releases.
 **The Flies & Hand spirit is listed as part of the "''Mario Paint'' Series", although ''Mario Paint'' does not feature any sequels (excluding the Satellaview re-releases ''Mario Paint BS Ban'' and ''Mario Paint Yuushou Naizou Ban''). ''Super Mario Maker'' takes many elements from ''Paint'', including the Flies & Hand, and began development as a sequel, but is not considered as such.

Mario Time!|limited-time event]] on the [[Spirit Board]], and also the first DLC spirits available without the requirement of an additional game's save data, the first being the Partner Eevee and Partner Pikachu spirits in the ''[[List of spirits (Pokémon series)|Pokémon]]'' series, which originally required save data of ''Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!/Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!'' on the Nintendo Switch.
 **Although the name of the Golden Dash Mushroom spirit originates from ''Mario Party: Island Tour'', its artwork and spirit battle are derived from the ''Mario Kart'' series, where the item is generally referred to as the Golden Mushroom; however, the item has been referred to as the Golden Dash Mushroom in Europe as of ''Mario Kart 7''.
