**While Captain Falcon has used the same voice clips in each game (albeit with variations between ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'', and ''Brawl'' onwards), he was given new vocals in [[Min Min]]'s [[List of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character trailers#Min Min|reveal trailer]]; Ryō Horikawa reprised his role for this appearance.

*The English voice recordings for ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' and ''Ultimate'' were conducted under non-union conditions, which is presumed to be the cause of noticeable impacts on the voice casts of characters from ''Final Fantasy'', ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', and ''Fire Emblem Awakening'':

**The only ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' voice actors to reprise their roles in ''Smash'' are Antony Del Rio (Pit and [[Dark Pit]]) and {{s|wikipedia|Hynden Walch}} (Viridi), both of whom are uncredited. Additionally, Walch only returned as Viridi for ''Smash 4'', being completely replaced by Dayci Brookshire for ''Ultimate''. All other ''Uprising'' characters were recast.

***As of 2017, Bailey has left the role of Lucina, as part of a noticeable exodus of unionized voice talent from the series, and has been replaced by Alexis Tipton. Due to its reuse of ''Smash 4'' voice assets, ''Ultimate'' is the only time since 2017 that Bailey has portrayed Lucina in any capacity.

*In addition to the above, several members of the {{uv|Star Fox}} cast in ''Brawl'' had replaced voice actors, for unknown reasons—though [[Fox]], [[Slippy]], and [[Krystal]] kept their voices from ''Assault'' (the most recent ''Star Fox'' game with voice acting at the time of ''Brawl''{{'}}s release), [[Falco]], [[Wolf]], [[Peppy]], [[Leon]], and [[Panther]] all gained new voices, with Mike Madeoy (Falco), Grant Goodeve (Wolf), Henry Dardenne (Peppy), and David Scully (Leon and Panther) replaced with Dex Manley (Falco and Peppy), Jay Ward (Wolf), Jim Walker (Leon), and Eric Newsome (Panther).

*''Ultimate'' is the first game with official voice acting for Erdrick, Solo, and Eight, and [[Masahiro Sakurai]] shared some interesting pieces of trivia about each of the Hero's voice actors and their recording sessions:

**The Luminary's voice actress, Mitsuki Saiga, reprises her role from ''Dragon Quest XI S'' (thus technically making ''Ultimate'' her debut voicing the character), but was directed to have more energy in her vocals to better fit the style of ''Smash''.

**Solo's voice actor, Takeshi Kusao, asked for a lot of detail on the backstory of the protagonist to help improve his performance.

**Eight's voice actor, Yūki Kaji, apparently dreamed of doing voice work for the ''Dragon Quest'' and ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, and he was enthusiastic to fulfill both at the same time in ''Ultimate''.

*Several actors are credited in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' despite having no performances actually in the game:

**Jaz Adams and Lyssa Browne, who were the English voices of [[Peppy Hare]] and [[Slippy Toad]] in the [[Orbital Gate Assault]] stage's [[Star Fox Smash Taunt|Smash Taunt]] in ''Smash 4'', are still credited despite the stage not returning for ''Ultimate''.

**{{s|wikipedia|Wendee Lee}} is credited despite having never portrayed any character in a ''Smash'' game. As she is the current English voice actress for [[Lyn]] in {{uv|Fire Emblem}} games released from 2017 onward, it is possible that this is some sort of mix-up relating to the possibility of her reprising that role; ''Ultimate'' instead reuses Lani Minella's portrayal of the character from ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4''.<ref> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGc7Lec0Eyk&t=1m15s</ref> This makes her, along with Lucina, one of the only ''Fire Emblem'' characters in ''Ultimate'' to not be portrayed in some capacity by their current English voice actors.

**Both {{iw|wikipedia|Joe Ochman}} and {{iw|wikipedia|Shinya Fukumatsu}} are credited in the game's full credits (which includes voice actors for DLC characters, something the credits for Classic Mode did not add); it is unknown exactly why they are credited, as, while they do reprise the role of {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Solon}} for {{SSBU|Byleth}}'s reveal trailer, Solon has no in-game role.

*In ''Ultimate'', Travis Willingham (the English voice of [[Knuckles the Echidna]] and [[Guile]]) is mistakenly credited twice in the "Help" menu's credits, by both his real name and "Kent Hampton". In World of Light and Classic Mode, he is only credited as the latter. Kent Hampton is the pseudonym that Travis Willingham is credited under in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series, among other titles.

*Rosalina's voice actress's name is misspelled as "Kerr'''y''' Kane" instead of "Kerr'''i''' Kane" in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s credits.
