Trivia

• This event was teased during the event SSB Ultimate Is Five Years Old! as the first of four Spirit Board events.
• This is the first new Spirit Board event of 2024, and the first event to introduce new spirits to the game in two years.
• The Noah & Mio spirit does not feature their series name, being Xenoblade Chronicles, on the battle screen, nor in the list of spirits. Despite this, the series logo is still present.
• All four Spirit Battles in this event only allow the player to charge up their Final Smash, and not the main opponent.
• This is a special Spirit Board event to represent the new installments from the current Nintendo franchises that are already out in months ago (Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, Xenoblade Chronicles and Pikmin).
