Trivia

  • Checker Knights is owned by an organization rather than the owner of the IPs. This trait is shared with the music from Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and later, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, the Dragon Quest series, the Culdcept series, Soma Bringer, and Style Savvy: Styling Star, as well as both versions of "Ai No Uta" and "Tane No Uta".
    • It, alongside the two aforementioned are the first songs in the Super Smash Bros series to not originate from a video game, succeeded by songs from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
      • Despite this, the track lists its origins as Kirby Air Ride.
