Two other subcategories that were created during ''Melee'''s lifetime were BMO and NJA:
*'''BMO: B Moves Only.''' Only special moves are allowed, and the last attack to hit Sandbag must be a special move. The bat can be used, so somewhat unique bat drops / throws are utilized. Bat swing cannot be used, as it counts as a forward smash. In ''Brawl'' with the advent of the barrier, the record strategies for this subcategory have mostly turned into multiple bat drops with a single special move used to finish, which some argue is against the category's original purpose.

*All games' Home-Run Contests have the announcer say "Ready..." upon starting the mode, though only ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' have him say ''"Go!"'' right afterwards.
*''Melee'' and ''Ultimate''{{'}}s Home-Run Contests do not have the announcer say "Go!", unlike ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4''{{'}}s Home-Run Contests.
*In ''Melee'', Sheik ends up sending opponents flying vertically with the Home-Run Bat. As a result, she needs to transform into Zelda to use the Home-Run Bat properly in the Home-Run Contest.

*[[Jigglypuff]] is one of the few characters in the mode that can be KO'd, by breaking its shield. Also, [[Snake]] can be KO'd by blowing himself up with [[C4]], and [[Steve]] can be KO'd by blowing himself up with [[TNT]]. Should this happen, these characters will respawn from the [[revival platform]].

**At least in ''Melee'', with theoretically perfect randomization, it is possible for {{SSBM|Peach}} to KO herself by pulling at least 6 [[Bob-omb]]s within the 10 seconds {{YouTube|np3MmCwyik8}}, though it has not been proven if the game's pseudorandom algorithm is sufficiently high-quality to actually generate this.

*While ''Ultimate''{{'}}s version of the Home-Run Contest powers up several characters by default, such as giving Joker Arséne, and giving Steve his diamond tools, {{SSBU|Lucario}} still begins with minimum [[aura]], as it does in previous games, giving it a significant handicap as its attacks all have a 0.66× damage multiplier.
