*With the sole exception of {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} (referred to by its Japanese name "packun"), every downloadable fighter’s name in the code differs from that of their actual names. Joker's code name is "jack" ([[Arsène]]'s code name is "doyle"), {{SSBU|Hero}}'s is "brave", {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s is "buddy" (with Kazooie specifically sometimes referred to as "partner"), Terry's is "dolly", {{SSBU|Byleth}}'s is "master", Min Min's is "tantan", Steve's is "pickel" ([[Creeper]]’s codename is "scarier"), Sephiroth's is "edge", Pyra's is "eflame," Mythra's is "elight," as a pair Pyra & Mythra's is "element" ([[Rex]]'s codename is "diver"), Kazuya's is "demon", and Sora's is "trail".

*In North America, when trailers for new Mii Fighter costumes are shown off, costumes of characters that are from a franchise that typically have M-rated installments from the ESRB only show the name of the character alongside the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' logo, rather than the logo of the franchise the character is from. This has occurred with [[Altaïr]] (''Assassin's Creed''), [[Vault Boy]] (''Fallout''), [[Travis Touchdown]] (''No More Heroes''), [[Dragonborn]] (''Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim''), [[Dante]] (''Devil May Cry''), and [[Doom Slayer]] (''Doom'').

**Four of the Mii Fighter costume reveals would additionally gain a "rated TEEN by the ESRB" notice when the character's respective logo appeared, those being the [[Monster Hunter|Hunter's Mail]] and [[Rathalos#As_a_Costume|Rathalos Mail]] (both from ''Monster Hunter''), [[Lloyd Irving|Lloyd]] (''Tales of Symphonia''), and [[Shantae]] (''Shantae'').

***Later in 2022, an [https://www.nintendo.com/en-us/whatsnew/detail/2022/take-a-look-back-at-super-smash-bros-fighter-reveals-with-masahiro-sakurai-part-2/ article] detailing ''Ultimate'''s reveal trailers refers to ''Persona 5'' as "Joker's original game".

*At the beginning of November 2019, on the North American English-language official site only, Piranha Plant's purchase cost was incorrectly changed from US$4.99/CA$6.29 to US$5.99/CA$7.55 to match all of the other fighters. This error remains as of May 2021. The actual eShop price charged remains the correct (lower) price. This error does not appear to be present in any other languages or regions.
