This is a '''list of minor [[universe]]s''' with smaller forms of representation in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, such as moveset elements, [[background characters]], [[trophies]], [[stickers]], [[spirits]], [[music]], or [[Mii Fighter]] costumes. For universes which are represented by [[Fighter]]s, [[stage]]s, [[Assist Trophy|Assist Trophies]], [[item]]s, or [[enemy|enemies]], see [[Template:Universe|here]].

==Trivia==

*Prior to their fighter or stage debut in the series, {{uv|Kid Icarus}}, {{uv|Pikmin}}, {{uv|Animal Crossing}}, {{uv|Duck Hunt}}, {{uv|Splatoon}}, {{uv|ARMS}}, {{uv|Tekken}}, {{uv|Wrecking Crew}}, {{uv|Pilotwings}}, and {{uv|Wii Sports}} all have had only minor representation in the series at one point.  

**Similarly, {{uv|Clu Clu Land}}, {{uv|Devil World}}, {{uv|Excite}}, {{uv|SimCity}}, {{uv|Custom Robo}}, {{uv|Kururin}}, {{uv|Sheriff}}, {{uv|The Mysterious Murasame Castle}}, {{uv|Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru}}, {{uv|Brain Age}}, {{uv|Joy Mech Fight}}, {{uv|Fatal Frame}}, {{uv|Art Academy}}, {{uv|Virtua Fighter}}, and {{uv|Monster Hunter}} all have only received minor representation in the series as well before eventually being represented with [[Items]] or [[Assist Trophies]].

**Mario being a referee in {{uv|Punch-Out!!}} was mentioned in his biography in ''Smash 64'' before being represented.

*{{uv|Balloon Fight}}, {{uv|Excite}}, {{uv|Jam with the Band}}, {{uv|Golden Sun}}, {{uv|Custom Robo}}, {{uv|Kururin}}, {{uv|Nintendo Wars}}, {{uv|Sin and Punishment}}, {{uv|Drill Dozer}}, and {{uv|Rhythm Heaven}} are the only major universes to have become a minor universe in an installment after receiving major representation in a previous installment.

**However, ''Golden Sun'' would later return to its previous status in a following installment, and ''Balloon Fight'' would become a primary universe in a following installment, as well.

*{{uvm|Doshin the Giant}}, {{uvm|bit Generations}}, {{uvm|English Training}}, {{uvm|Soccer}}<!--If one does not consider the Soccer Ball item to hail from that series-->, {{uvm|Thru}}, {{uvm3|BIT.TRIP}}, {{uvm3|Yokai Dochuki}}, and {{uvm3|Bravoman}} are the only minor universes from previous installments to have no representation in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

**''Doshin the Giant'', having no representation since ''Melee'', has had the longest absence of any minor universes.

*With it first being represented in ''Melee'' and not receiving any representation again until ''Ultimate'', ''Cubivore'' has the longest gap for lack of representation between installments of any universe.
