→Trivia: I don't know enough about Castlevania lore to know if sunlight would actually kill Alucard (nor do I know if sunlight is also a weakness for Dhampirs, for that matter), but for now, fixing the grammar on this.

*Alucard cannot be summoned in [[Wii Fit Studio]]. It was stated during a tournament hosted by Nintendo Spain that he doesn't appear because the stage has a giant mirror, referencing how vampires do not have a reflection in mirrors. However, if the game is hacked to spawn him in the stage, it can be seen that he does indeed have a reflection. | *Alucard cannot be summoned in [[Wii Fit Studio]].

**While Alucard can be summoned on [[Fountain of Dreams]] and has a reflection in its water, this is consistent with the given reasoning. The reason why vampires do not have reflections in mirrors is because of their weakness to silver, which is used in mirrors (albeit less so in modern mirrors, which mostly use aluminum), but not found in water. This also has ties to the superstition of mirrors displaying the viewer's soul; thus a vampire's lack of reflection means that they have no soul. Despite this, due to Alucard being a dhampir—half vampire, half human—he has no weakness to silver, and can wear silver armaments in both ''Symphony of the Night'' and ''Harmony of Despair''. | **While Alucard can be summoned on [[Fountain of Dreams]] and has a reflection in its water, this is consistent with the given reasoning.

*Alucard is one of the two new Assist Trophy characters in ''Ultimate'' to use newly recorded voice clips, instead of recycled voice clips; the other is {{b|Zero|Mega Man}}. They also both share a Japanese voice actor. | *Alucard is one of the two new Assist Trophy characters in ''Ultimate'' to use newly recorded voice clips, instead of recycled voice clips; the other is {{b|Zero|Mega Man}}.
