*The version of the move in ''Smash 64'' has a [[hitbox]] that does not match with its appearance - it tightly hugs the ground as the visual effect bounces over it. ''Melee'' reworks the attack to have a hitbox in the expected place as well as one under the arch to hit crouchers. ''Brawl'' however deletes this coverage hitbox.

*In ''Smash 64'', an interesting [[glitch]] can occur. When the user sends a grounded Thunder Jolt over a ledge (such as the one left of the [[Greenhouse]] on [[Hyrule Castle]]) while an opponent {{SSB|Fox}}'s [[Reflector]] is active (and very near but not touching the wall), the Thunder Jolt's sprite will continue through the opponent with the animation direction reversed in a sort of electrical moonwalk, making the arc appear to bounce completely vertically rather than parabolically. This is purely visual and does not affect its [[hitbox]], speed or duration.

*The voice clip played when Pikachu uses the move in ''Smash 64'' is taken directly from a [https://twitter.com/ComJayOfficial/status/1043256874009673729 scene] in [https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EP024 episode 24] of the Pokémon anime series.
