Trivia
- The 8 starter characters of Super Smash Bros. are the only playable characters to remain starter in every installment they appear in.
- Samus is also the only female character to remain a starter in every installment she appears in.
- Yoshi is also the only overall sole representative to remain a starter in every installment he appears in, as Captain Falcon was unlockable in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the only installment in the series where all of the original 12 characters appear as starters.
- Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS has the same number of starter characters as the number of total characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, counting each type of Mii Fighter as seperate and counting each of the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon as seperate, but not the Trainer himself.
