:Small Battlefield was added as a free standalone stage as part of the 8.1.0 update. The stage is identical to {{SSBU|Battlefield}} with the exception of the removal of the top platform, and the remaining two floating platforms being slightly closer to each other.

:Hollow Bastion comes as a set with {{SSBU|Sora}} as part of Challenger Pack 11. It consists of a single floating platform with a single soft platform just above the center.

*According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Fighters Pass Vol. 2 was originally going to have five Challenger Packs as with the first Pass, but Sora's inclusion was secured after the other five fighters were already determined, resulting in an "extra" Challenger Pack.<ref>https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1450855082203901954</ref>

*Following most DLC fighter reveals, the [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site]] was mistakenly updated to add fighter slots for recently revealed fighters without removing corresponding "mystery fighter" slots, resulting in extra empty slots that never corresponded to actual unrevealed fighters.

*Challenger Pack 1 is the only Challenger Pack to not have a ''[[Mr. Sakurai Presents]]'' presentation, instead having a presentation similar to a traditional Nintendo Direct.
*Challenger Packs 2 and 11 are the only Challenger Packs that do not contain any ''Smash'' remixes (excluding the [[victory theme]] in the latter).
*Challenger Pack 4 currently holds the most music added as downloadable content in both ''Ultimate'' and [[Downloadable content (SSB4)|''SSB4'']]'s history, with a total of 50 tracks.
*Challenger Packs 5 and 11 are the only Challenger Packs to have none of their contents revealed prior to their ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'' presentations, with all of their contents being saved for their respective Presentations. Coincidentally, they are the final Challenger Packs of their respective Fighters Passes.
**While Challenger Packs 1 and 6 also did not reveal their contents, their fighters, Joker and a character from ''ARMS'' (later revealed to be Min Min during her presentation), were revealed prior to their presentations (at the Game Awards 2018 and a March 2020 Nintendo Direct Mini respectively).
**Additionally, while the short presentation that contained Steve's reveal trailer was considered part of a ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'', the longer in-depth video was released a few days after.
*Challenger Packs 5, 8, and 9 are the only ones to include music tracks that can play in multiple stages (as their characters are from pre-existing universes that already had stages in the base game), not including {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, [[Small Battlefield]], {{SSBU|Big Battlefield}}, and {{SSBU|Final Destination}}.
*Piranha Plant is the only DLC character without a cinematic [[Final Smash]] (though Pyra, Mythra, and Kazuya's start out as cinematics before ending off in normal gameplay).
*[[Spring Stadium]], [[Northern Cave]], and [[Hollow Bastion]] are the only DLC stages without any visible [[Background character]]s (excluding the jumbotron in the first and the Stations of Awakening in the last).
*Banjo, Kazooie, Min Min, and Sora are the only DLC characters whose voice clips are recycled from their own games rather than recorded specifically for ''Smash'', while Piranha Plant and Steve are the only DLC fighters to not have any voice clips.

*With the exceptions of Joker, Banjo & Kazooie, and Byleth (in Japanese), all vocal DLC fighters (including Byleth in English) use their heavy knockback scream rather than their standard KO scream when KO'd by reaching 0 HP during their final stock in [[Stamina Mode]], a trait shared with {{SSBU|Mario}} and {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}} from the base roster.
**The three exceptions have a unique scream when KO'd in Stamina Mode which is not either of the aforementioned screams.
*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]] (''The 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 for a series that typically has T-rated installments from the ESRB 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]] (the series of the same name, possibly referring to the games ''Shantae and the Pirate's Curse'', ''Shantae: Half-Genie Hero'' and ''Shantae and the Seven Sirens'', as the first two installments are not T-rated).
