List of Super Smash Bros. references in other franchises: Difference between revisions

added info on MultiVersus' 2024 launch
(Removing "references" that just involve plain old Smash being played in the background or people saying they're going to play Smash, as that really stretches what a "reference" is. Also removed the John Oliver "reference", as just incidentally using a character's Smash render isn't any actual reference to Smash either.)
