==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, bandanas, and wreaths 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.<!--This is not Young Link's hat. Upon further examination and comparison, one can clearly tell it is supposed to be BotW Link's Tunic of the Wild hat-->
