This distinction would later be shared with {{uv|Metal Gear}}, {{uv|Electroplankton}}, {{uv|Joy Mech Fight}}, {{uv|Custom Robo}}, {{uv|Kururin}}, and {{uv|Drill Dozer}}, as those universes have had representation in ''Brawl'' (though both ''Custom Robo'' and ''Kururin'' were first represented in ''Melee''), had no content whatsoever in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', and would later have representation again in ''Ultimate''.
