 *Simon and Richter are the only pair of clones who are stated to have taken inspiration from each other, rather than one being explicitly developed before the other, with the pair sharing Simon's abilities from ''Super Castlevania IV'' and Richter's additional abilities from ''Castlevania: Rondo of Blood''.
 *Though the [[Ice Climbers]] are not clones of any other character on the roster, Popo and Nana are clones of each other.
-*Most of the Echo and clone pairs have fan terms to refer to them simultaneously, as due to their significant similarity, often both are applicable to a subject at hand, such as describing how a particular combo works on them, or referring to who someone plays, as often players of these characters will play both characters of an Echo or clone pair.
+*Most of the clone groups have fan terms to refer to them collectively, as due to their significant similarity, often both are applicable to a subject at hand, such as describing how a particular combo works on them, or referring to who someone plays, as often players of these characters will play other characters of the clone group.
-**Marth and Lucina may be referred to by the portmanteau "[[Marcina]]". Similar terminology applies to "[[Chroy]]", for Roy and Chrom.
+**Fox, Falco, and Wolf are often referred to under the collective name of "[[Spacies]]", sometimes unabbreviated as the "Space animals". The term originated in the early competitive days of ''Melee'' for Fox and Falco, being the first such collective clone group terminology to gain popular traction, and players of the later ''Smash'' games would embrace the term.
+**Marth and Lucina are often referred to by the portmanteau "[[Marcina]]". Similar terminology applies to "[[Chroy]]", for Roy and Chrom.
+**Peach and Daisy are also sometimes referred to by a portmanteau, "Paisy". "Princess" is another alternative, but this is uncommon due to  it being applicable to other unrelated characters with the same title, most notably [[Zelda]], who is not a clone.
 **Simon and Richter Belmont are simply referred to by their family name, "[[Belmont]]".
-**Ryu and Ken may be referred to by "[[Shoto]]", the traditional FGC term for all Ryu-derived characters in the ''Street Fighter'' series.
+**Ryu and Ken are often referred to by "[[Shoto]]", the traditional FGC term for all Ryu-derived characters in the ''Street Fighter'' series.
+**Pikachu and Pichu are often referred to as the "[[Rats]]", which originated as a disparaging nickname for Pikachu in ''Smash 64'' due to its long-standing status as that game's undisputed best character, and then was later adopted by ''Ultimate'' players to refer to both of them, often with similar negative connotations.
+**Ness and Lucas are often referred to as the "[[PK kids]]".
+**Pyra and Mythra, as a pair of both semi-clones and transformation characters, are either collectively referred to by the portmanteau "Pythra", or as the [[Aegis]], their collective name in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2''.
 **To refer to Pit and Dark Pit, Samus and Dark Samus, or Link, Toon Link, and Young Link, the most common method is to pluralize the parent character's name; i.e., "Pits" and "Links".
-**Peach and Daisy are sometimes referred to as "Paisy". "Princess" is another alternative, but this is uncommon due to potentially including other characters with the same title, most notably [[Zelda]], who is not otherwise a clone.
+**Mario, Luigi, and Dr. Mario are often referred to under the collective term of the "[[Plumbers]]" or the "Mario Bros."; however, Mario and Dr. Mario specifically are sometimes also referred to as the "Marios", similarly to the aforementioned "Pits" and "Links", given that they are not only the same character in canon, but have much more in common with each other gameplay-wise than either of them does with Luigi.

-**Fox, Falco, and Wolf may be referred to under the collective name of "[[Space animal]]s", or "Spacies" for short.

-**Pyra and Mythra, as a pair of both clones and transformation characters, are collectively referred to as "Pythra" by most players, though some players will instead call them [[Aegis]] in reference to their collective name in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2''.
