The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Trivia[edit]

  • The banner is based on the character selection screen of Melee, with the characters being posed just like their Melee renders.
    • Sheik is the only character playable in this event who does not appear in the banner, referencing how she isn't present on the character selection screen in Melee and instead shares a slot with Zelda.
  • The Smash Ball is the only item available in the tournament not to be present in Melee.
  • Despite the fact that no fighters or stages debuting in Smash 64 are available for the event, items from the aforementioned game are available for the event. A similar situation also happens in Brawl Veterans Represent! and Free Four All.
  • Despite Melee being the first installment to have a selectable Final Destination stage, Final Destination is not available for the event.
