m (Previous wording could be misinterpreted as saying that trailers aren't promotional content in the same way as commercials, which wouldn't really be something to worry about on any other wiki, but given how big a deal trailers are to Namco Smash, it's probably best to make sure it's clear that the format is the difference between a trailer and commercial, and not the intent.)

Trivia

  • The American version of the commercial for Super Smash Bros. has the song "Happy Together" by The Turtles playing in the background.
    • The commercial was also filmed in one day at Golden Oak Ranch.[1]
    • The costumes seen in this commercial were later used in the Slamfest '99 promotional event.
  • In the North American commercials for Super Smash Bros. 4, the announcer's voice (played by Xander Mobus) can be heard saying "Settle it in Smash!".
  • Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the only game in the series to not use music in one of the North American commercials ("More Fighters, More Battles, More Fun").
    • The lack of music prompted a set of viral videos that added music to the commercial, one of which amassing over a million views.[2]
      • The Japanese version played in reverse, to which a newer version of the trailer was later released with a dash (‘), similar to the Japanese name for Echo Fighters.
