*Min Min is referred to within the game files with the codename "tantan", which comes from the Japanese pronunciation of {{s|wikipedia|Dandan noodles}} ({{ja|担々麺|Tantanmen}}), a type of ramen noodles.

*Similarly to {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}, {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}, and {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the UI shows Min Min's name as a single word ("MINMIN") when the game's [[language]] is set to Japanese.
*According to ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series creator [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Min Min was originally going to lack any special moves. However, he reconsidered this and instead created the unique special moves for her in the spirit of ''ARMS''.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1283431422905085953 PushDustIn on Twitter: "At first, he considered making the character without any special moves at all, but when he really considered it, he came up with something unique."]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/Sephazon/status/1283431741697306625 Robert Sephazon on Twitter: "When playing like this, Sakurai thinks this shows the spirit of “ARMS” where both arms have to be utilized simultaneously. This creates the feeling of “ARMS,” but in the style of Super Smash Bros. This is very important."]</ref>

**DLC fighter in ''Ultimate'' to be exclusively female (as {{SSBU|Kazooie}} is paired with Banjo and only half of Byleth's {{SSBU|alternate costume}}s are female), and the second overall after {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.
**Fighter to have an aerial smash attack<!--While Robin's aerials change depending on whether or not they are initiated with the C-stick, that does not inherently make them aerial smash attacks-->, and the second to be able to walk during and jump out of forward tilts and neutral attacks, following {{SSBU|Mega Man}} and preceding {{SSBU|Steve}}.

*Min Min is the second fighter that debuted in a [[Nintendo Switch]] game, following Byleth.
*Min Min is the third character to speak while being [[star KO]]'d, shouting "{{ja|哎呀！|Āi yā!}}" (''Oh no!''). The first is {{SSBU|Pit}} ("I never learned how to read!") and the second is Byleth ("My battle ends here!"). Unlike them, Min Min says her star KO line in all versions of the game instead of just the English version.
*Min Min is the only fighter from a fighting game who does not automatically face an opponent in a 1-on-1 battle.

***Coincidentally, both characters' reveal trailers use cel-shaded CGI resembling hand-drawn animation.
**DLC fighter in ''Ultimate'' to use repurposed voice clips, following {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}.
**DLC fighter in ''Ultimate'' not to have been revealed prior to her [[Mr. Sakurai Presents|presentation video]]'s release, following Byleth. Her series, however, was announced ahead of time.
*Min Min appears at the beginning of her trailer in a waitress uniform, without her mask and with normal human arms and eyes. This design is completely unique to the trailer.

**In ''ARMS'', human fighters with the ARMS ability are never depicted without a mask. Additionally, they are always shown with spiral-shaped eyes, and their ARMS retain their coiled appearance [[armsinstitute:File:MinMinRamen.png|even when contracted into a human shape]]. While removing the mask returns the coiled ARMS into normal arms,<ref>[https://twitter.com/armsfan_eng/status/879127939115175936]</ref> doing so can cause the ARMS to switch forms unwillingly and become difficult to control,<ref>[https://twitter.com/armsfan_eng/status/879904769350844416]</ref><ref>[https://i.imgur.com/wK09fZJ.jpg]</ref> which is not depicted in the trailer.

*Much like Terry, Min Min occasionally vocalizes while [[roll]]ing; however, her quieter voice and accompanying sound effects make it difficult to notice.
*When KO'd by reaching 0 HP during her final stock in [[Stamina Mode]], Min Min uses one of her heavy knockback voice clips instead of her standard KO voice clip. She shares this trait with {{SSBU|Mario}}, {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}}, and all vocal DLC fighters except for {{SSBU|Joker}}, {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}, and Byleth's Japanese voice.

*Min Min is the third DLC fighter in ''Ultimate'' to lack model-changing alternate costumes, following Banjo & Kazooie and Terry and preceding Pyra/Mythra.
*Each in-game render of Min Min features her with a different ARM equipped on her right arm: her primary spirit, fighter spirit, and fighter render feature the Megawatt, Dragon, and Ramram ARMS, respectively.

*Min Min is the third DLC Fighters Pass fighter to appear in a CG portion of a trailer other than her own (being Kazuya's and {{SSBU|Sora}}'s trailers), followed by {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}} and [[Hero (SSBU)|Erdrick]] in Sephiroth's trailer.
*If Min Min picks up an [[Assist Trophy]] whilst walking, she can continue walking with it until she stops. She shares this trait with Mega Man and Steve. Min Min can also jump and continue walking with an Assist Trophy if she lands during a forward or back aerial.
