*This is the only ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'' video to not have the character's splash art tagline from their reveal trailer captioned on the thumbnail, instead simply saying, "Pyra/Mythra Join the Battle!" This is likely due to Pyra and Mythra being two distinct characters and thus having two distinct taglines (while Byleth also had two taglines, they are two genders of the same character). | *This is the only ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'' video to not have the character's splash art tagline from their reveal trailer captioned on the thumbnail, instead simply saying, "Pyra/Mythra Join the Battle!"

**This is also the first video to feature a character aside from the playable one on the video's thumbnail, namely Rex. | |||
