*''Brawl'' is the first installment in the series which does not have the "Erase Hidden Characters" and "Erase Hidden Stages" options.

**This is due to a special stipulation. Due to the way [[unlockable character]]s appear in [[The Subspace Emissary]], it is not possible to restart the [[unlockable character]]s and [[unlockable stage]]s.

*If the player chooses to erase all data in ''Brawl'', the game asks the player three times if they are sure they want to lose that data. The first prompt plays a siren, the second one plays a sped-up version of the siren, and the third and final plays an alarm similar to Melee's "challenger approaching" theme. ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' similarly present three prompts (like in Brawl for "Erase All"), but only have the siren and sped-up siren on the second and third prompts. While ''Ultimate'' doesn't contain the in-game option, the similar three prompts are present when deleting [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]]'s save files.
*When deleting all save data in ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'', the player is asked twice to confirm that they wish to lose that data; in ''Melee'', a siren plays on the first prompt, and an alarm on the second prompt. In ''Brawl'', the player is asked three times to confirm. The first prompt plays a siren, the second one plays a sped-up version of the siren, and the third and final plays an alarm similar to Melee's "challenger approaching" theme.

**This is based on the messages when deleting save files in {{uv|Kirby}} games starting from ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land}}'', likely due to both games being developed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]]; this became the same way as in ''Smash'' starting from ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Return to Dream Land}}'', even though the game was made after Sakurai's departure from HAL Laboratory.
**This is based on the three warning messages shown when deleting a save file in {{uv|Kirby}} games starting from ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Super Star}}'', likely due to both games being directed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]]. In both cases, they use the same phrasing, in particular the final warning which reads「こうかいしませんね?」("You're sure you won't regret this?", "No regrets?", "Are you sure?", etc.) The ''Kirby'' series continues to use the three-warnings format in titles not directed by Masahiro Sakurai, such as ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Return to Dream Land}}''. ''Meteos'' and ''Kid Icarus Uprising'', two other games directed by Masahiro Sakurai, also use the three-warnings format.
*In ''Smash 64'', the sound effect that plays when erasing data is the same as {{SSB|Ness}}'s [[PSI Magnet]].
