*Prior to the [[List of updates (SSBU)#1.1.0|1.1.0 update]], the ordering of all ''Punch-Out!!'' spirits after Glass Joe was much different than in the final release, being based on the opponent order in ''Punch-Out!!'' for Wii: Von Kaiser, King Hippo, Piston Hondo, Bear Hugger, Great Tiger, Don Flamenco, Soda Popinski, Bald Bull, Super Macho Man and Mr. Sandman.<!--This Trivia point is very messy, but is currently the best choice to list the pre-Day 1 patch ordering of the Punch-Out!! spirits right now. If anyone can come up with a better solution on how to list the ordering, then feel free to fix it-->

**Likewise, Piston Hondo is placed after the boxers that debuted in the NES installment despite originally appearing as the third opponent in that game (otherwise he'd be placed between Von Kaiser and Don Flamenco). This is likely because he was named "Piston Honda" in the NES installment and it changed to "Hondo" for the Wii game.
