The Famicom colors are the default costume if the language is set to Japanese, Korean, or Chinese; otherwise, the NES colors are used, referencing how his real-life counterpart had different colorings between regions to match the NES/Famicom's body color. | *In ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', [[R.O.B.]]'s default costume depends on the language the game is set to.

*[[Bayonetta]] in the Japanese version has a unique trait: she uses her Japanese voice with her Love Is Blue costumes, while in her Witch With No Memories costumes, she speaks English, referencing how the original ''Bayonetta'' did not have Japanese voice acting until the Wii U version's release. Because of this trait, she has two entries in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s [[Sounds]], even though both are largely identical on other language versions. | *[[Bayonetta]] in the Japanese version has a unique trait: she uses her Japanese voice with her Love Is Blue costumes, while in her Witch With No Memories costumes, she speaks English, referencing how the original ''Bayonetta'' did not have Japanese voice acting until the Wii U version's release.

These voice clips are still provided by Kirby's usual voice actress, Makiko Ōmoto. | ||
*[[Pokémon Trainer]] utilizes unique property of voice clips; The trainer is voiced in English, Japanese, Korean (''Brawl'' only), French, Spanish, German, Italian; [[Squirtle]] and [[Ivysaur]] use their English voice clips in Spanish and Italian; and [[Charizard]] uses the same voice clips across all languages. | *[[Pokémon Trainer]] utilizes unique property of voice clips; The trainer is voiced in English, Japanese, Korean (''Brawl'' only), French, Spanish, German, Italian; [[Squirtle]] and [[Ivysaur]] use their English voice clips in Spanish and Italian; and [[Charizard]] uses the same voice clips across all languages. | ||
*In tournament play, many tournaments in non-English-speaking Western regions choose to set the game to English rather than the regional language, presumably due to English being the standard game language setting in national tournaments in the Americas, Europe and Oceania. Thus, playing in English allows players to better condition themselves for tournaments abroad - a sentiment reinforced by the controversy over {{SSBU|Hero}}'s [[Command Selection]] and potential language barrier issues. | *In tournament play, many tournaments in non-English-speaking Western regions choose to set the game to English rather than the regional language, presumably due to English being the standard game language setting in national tournaments in the Americas, Europe and Oceania.

**The ''SSB4'' Pokémon [[amiibo]] for [[Jigglypuff]], [[Charizard]] and [[Greninja]] do not have their French names displayed on their American packaging (even when reprinted for ''Ultimate''), although they are present on their European packaging; this may be related to the fact that the [[bulbapedia:Pokémon in Canada|French Canadian translation]] of the ''Pokémon'' franchise simply reused the English names prior to 2010.
