*The dog is the fourth playable canid character after [[Fox McCloud]], [[Wolf O'Donnell]] and [[Lucario]] and before [[Isabelle]]. He is also the second quadrupedal character after [[Ivysaur]]. In comparison, the duck is the third playable avian character after [[Falco Lombardi]] and [[King Dedede]] and before [[Kazooie]].
*Despite being a tag team,<ref name=Blog/> Duck Hunt's reveal trailer showed an off-screen player using {{iw|wikipedia|NES Zapper}} in order to perform Duck Hunt's [[smash attack]]s, [[Trick Shot]], and [[Clay Shooting]]. This off-screen player makes Duck Hunt one of the only characters, along with [[R.O.B.]], to have a direct connection to the real world.
*Duck Hunt are the first tag team to consist solely of animals on-screen.

*During {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s reveal trailer, Duck Hunt were used as a bait-and-switch to introduce them a la {{SSBU|King Dedede}} during {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s reveal trailer. This was likely done because of Duck Hunt also being a tag team that consists of a bird perched on a mammal's back, as well as in reference to a running gag among the ''Super Smash Bros.'' community in which Duck Hunt were perceived by fans as substitutes for the long-requested Banjo & Kazooie. Duck Hunt also have an [[alternate costume]] that bears a passing resemblance to Banjo & Kazooie, which is referenced in the latter's {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} route, where Duck Hunt (using this costume) appear as the first opponents.
