==Trivia==
*While the {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}} wears a hat, the Pokémon do not, making them the only fighters in this tourney not to wear any headwear.
*The tourney is seemingly limited to headwear that completely covers the head. Because of this, several fighters with headwear such as crowns ({{SSBU|Peach}}, {{SSBU|Daisy}}, {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}}, and {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}), bandanas ({{SSBU|Roy}}, {{SSBU|Snake}}, {{SSBU|Ike}}, {{SSBU|Ryu}}, and {{SSBU|Richter}}), wreaths ({{SSBU|Pit}}, {{SSBU|Dark Pit}}, and {{SSBU|Palutena}}), and other headgears ({{SSBU|Zelda}}, {{SSBU|Lucina}}, {{SSBU|Simon}}, and {{SSBU|Pyra}}/{{SSBU|Mythra}}) are excluded from the tourney.
*Similarly, only fighters with headwear in all of their alternate costumes are available. Because of this, {{SSBU|Link}}, {{SSBU|Pikachu}}, {{SSBU|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSBU|Pichu}}, {{SSBU|Little Mac}}, {{SSBU|Inkling}}, {{SSBU|Hero}}, and {{SSBU|Steve}} are excluded from the tourney.
**Despite this, Link's hat from his Hero of the Wild alternate costume is featured in the tourney's banner.<!--Unlike the other Links' hats, the Tunic of the Wild hat features a visible seam on its sides and a brim with a different shade of green from the rest of the cap.-->
*'''Дело в шляпе''', the Russian name for this event, is a pun. It can also be translated as "It's in the hat!"
**Similarly, '''Op je hoede''', the Dutch name for this event, is a pun as well, as the word "hoede" includes the word "hoed", which is Dutch for "hat".
