  • The Hero's Comrades and Rauru spirit battles have the most different fighters of any spirit battle, both with seven.
  • Tockles is the first spirit to be a part of a universe introduced via DLC, but to be released at a later date than that of the DLC itself, the second being Sophia from Persona.
    • Tockles is additionally the first and only spirit to be retroactively added to a DLC Spirit Board.
  • Prior to the 9.0.0 update, the spirit for Slime did not contain the series name. This was changed to differentiate it from the enemy of the same name from Minecraft.
