Joker's code name is "jack" ([[Arsène]]'s code name is "doyle"), {{SSBU|Hero}}'s is "brave", {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s is "buddy" (with Kazooie specifically sometimes referred to as "partner"), Terry's is "dolly", {{SSBU|Byleth}}'s is "master", Min Min's is "tantan", Steve's is "pickel" ([[Creeper]]’s codename is "scarier"), Sephiroth's is "edge", Pyra's is "eflame," Mythra's is "elight," as a pair Pyra & Mythra's is "element" ([[Rex]]'s codename is "diver"), Kazuya's is "demon", and Sora's is "trail".
*According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Fighters Pass Vol. 2 was originally going to have five Challenger Packs as with the first Pass, but Sora's inclusion was secured after the other five fighters were already determined, resulting in an "extra" Challenger Pack.<ref>https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1450855082203901954</ref>

*Following most DLC fighter reveals, the [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site]] was mistakenly updated to add fighter slots for recently revealed fighters without removing corresponding "mystery fighter" slots, resulting in extra empty slots that never corresponded to actual unrevealed fighters.

*Challenger Pack 1 is the only Challenger Pack to not have a ''[[Mr. Sakurai Presents]]'' presentation, instead having a presentation similar to a traditional Nintendo Direct.
*Challenger Packs 2 and 11 are the only Challenger Packs that do not contain any ''Smash'' remixes (excluding the [[victory theme]] in the latter).
*Challenger Pack 4 currently holds the most music added as downloadable content in both ''Ultimate'' and [[Downloadable content (SSB4)|''SSB4'']]'s history, with a total of 50 tracks.
*Challenger Packs 5 and 11 are the only Challenger Packs to have none of their contents revealed prior to their ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'' presentations, with all of their contents being saved for their respective Presentations. Coincidentally, they are the final Challenger Packs of their respective Fighters Passes.
**While Challenger Packs 1 and 6 also did not reveal their contents, their fighters, {{SSBU|Joker}} and a character from ''ARMS'' (later revealed to be {{SSBU|Min Min}} during her presentation), were revealed prior to their presentations (at the Game Awards 2018 and a March 2020 Nintendo Direct Mini respectively).
**Additionally, while the short presentation that contained {{SSBU|Steve}}'s reveal trailer was considered part of a ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'', the longer in-depth video was released a few days after.
*Challenger Packs 5, 8, and 9 are the only ones to include music tracks that can play in multiple stages (as their characters are from pre-existing universes that already had stages in the base game), not including {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, [[Small Battlefield]], {{SSBU|Big Battlefield}}, and {{SSBU|Final Destination}}.
*Piranha Plant is the only DLC character without a cinematic [[Final Smash]] (though {{SSBU|Pyra}}, {{SSBU|Mythra}}, and Kazuya's start out as cinematics before ending off in normal gameplay).
*[[Spring Stadium]], [[Northern Cave]], and [[Hollow Bastion]] are the only DLC stages without any visible [[Background character]]s (excluding the jumbotron in the first and the Stations of Awakening in the last).
*Banjo, Kazooie, Min Min, and Sora are the only DLC characters whose voice clips are recycled from their own games rather than recorded specifically for ''Smash'', while Piranha Plant and Steve are the only DLC fighters to not have any voice clips.

*With the exceptions of Joker, Banjo & Kazooie, and Byleth (in Japanese), all vocal DLC fighters use their heavy knockback scream rather than their standard KO scream when KO'd by reaching 0 HP during their final stock in [[Stamina Mode]], a trait shared with {{SSBU|Mario}} and {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}} from the base roster.
**The three exceptions have a unique scream when KO'd in Stamina Mode which is not either of the aforementioned screams.
*In North America, when trailers for new Mii Fighter costumes are shown off, costumes of characters that are from a franchise that typically have M-rated installments from the ESRB only show the name of the character alongside the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' logo, rather than the logo of the franchise the character is from. This has occurred with [[Altaïr]] (''Assassin's Creed''), [[Vault Boy]] (''Fallout''), [[Travis Touchdown]] (''No More Heroes''), [[Dragonborn]] (''The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim''), [[Dante]] (''Devil May Cry''), and [[Doom Slayer]] (''Doom'').

**Four of the Mii Fighter costume reveals would additionally gain a "rated TEEN by the ESRB" notice when the character's respective logo for a series that typically has T-rated installments from the ESRB appeared, those being the [[Monster Hunter|Hunter's Mail]] and [[Rathalos#As_a_Costume|Rathalos Mail]] (both from ''Monster Hunter''), [[Lloyd Irving|Lloyd]] (''Tales of Symphonia''), and [[Shantae]] (the series of the same name, possibly referring to the games ''Shantae and the Pirate's Curse'', ''Shantae: Half-Genie Hero'' and ''Shantae and the Seven Sirens'', as the first two installments are not T-rated).

**Oddly, even though Altair, Vault Boy, and Travis' game logos were shown in the European versions of their trailers, this did not happen with Dragonborn, Dante or Doom Slayer, as their game logos are only shown in the Japanese versions of their trailers.

**''Persona'', another series that typically has M-rated installments, did not originally follow this pattern. However, starting with Byleth's presentation, the North American versions of the ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'' presentations removed the logos of the games each of the DLC fighters hail from when showing an overview of the Fighters Passes, possibly due to ''Persona 5'''s rating.

**In a similar vein, the UK version of the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' website shows Kazuya's series as ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' × ''Kazuya'' rather than ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' × ''Tekken'' like in other regions. The logos for other franchises in the "Display by Series" option of the Fighters page would later be removed from the European websites due to this.

*Oddly, when the Mii Fighter costumes for [[Barret]] and [[Tifa]] were shown, the trailer in Sephiroth's ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'' video as well as the separately-uploaded trailer with the Wave 8 Mii costumes uploaded the same day shows the logo of ''Final Fantasy VII'' next to the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' logo. However, the separate video was taken down and reuploaded on January 11, 2021, and the ''Final Fantasy VII'' logo was changed to just ''Final Fantasy''.

**This may be due to rating issues, which can be evidenced by how Sephiroth's page on the North American website includes a "''FINAL FANTASY VII'' RATED TEEN BY THE ESRB" message, which also applies to Pyra/Mythra and Kazuya's pages with their respective games.

**Despite that, the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' × ''Final Fantasy'' screen still appears during the [[Chocobo]] reveal, though this is likely due to the fact that the character is not tied to any specific installment.

*At the end of October 2019, on the North American English-language official site only, Piranha Plant's purchase cost was incorrectly changed from US$4.99/CA$6.29 to US$5.99/CA$7.55 to match all of the other fighters. This error remains as of October, 2023.<ref>[https://smashbros.nintendo.com/buy/dlc/]</ref> The actual eShop price charged remains the correct (lower) price. This error does not appear to be present in any other languages or regions.

*Masahiro Sakurai revealed in a [[YouTube]] video that he considered releasing all music tracks in the base game as free downloadable content. This is due to the combined ROM data having been larger than the allotted 16 gigabytes of space a [[Nintendo Switch]] cartridge could hold at the time. This was prevented when a new way to compress audio files was invented so music tracks now take up a quarter of the space they used to without any loss in audio quality.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDrNWAHaKfI=329s Super Smash Bros.
