Trivia

The Masked Man spirit's
sprite before and after the
version 2.0.0 update, respectively.

• EarthBound, Pikmin, and R.O.B. are the only series represented by a fighter to use real life photographs for their spirits.
• EarthBound, Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Ice Climber, and Pac-Man are the only series represented by a fighter to use in-game sprite art for some or all of their spirits.
• Despite having his own clay model artwork, Master Belch uses his sprite instead for his spirit artwork.
  • Similarly, Starman and Ramblin' Evil Mushroom use their Super Smash Bros. Ultimate artwork rather than their clay models for their spirit artwork.
• Prior to version 2.0.0, the sprite for the Masked Man spirit was cropped from a piece of fan art, which has three differently colored pixels on or adjacent to his helmet. Other features that would normally be seen in the cropped area of the fan-made sprite, being the shadow beneath him and a portion of a separate sprite included in the fan art, were still present in the spirit's sprite, albeit hidden through image masking. Version 2.0.0 updated the spirit, as well as its appearance in the Inventory menu, to use the Masked Man's proper sprite from Mother 3, with many other EarthBound spirits receiving similar updates to their sprites.
• The Absolutely Safe Capsule spirit has the highest defense stat of any spirit with 4,886 at level 1 and 10,000 at level 99. It also has the lowest attack stat at 0, and is the only primary spirit that can not increase its attack stat.
  • The Absolutely Safe Capsule is also the only summoned spirit that requires another summoned spirit to obtain.
