Much like [[Charizard]], Rathalos is not explicitly referred to as a dragon in Western versions of its home series, but is treated as one in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. This discrepancy is mostly due to the Western localization of ''Monster Hunter'', as Flying Wyverns (such as Rathalos) are referred to as {{ja|飛竜種|hiryūshu}} ("flying dragon species") in the original Japanese, while Elder Dragon boss monsters simply use a different, antiquated kanji for "dragon" ({{ja|古龍種|koryūshu}}, "old dragon species"). The Rathalos is also weak to Dragon elemental attacks, a trait possessed only by Elder Dragons and dragonlike wyverns. Spinoffs such as crossovers with ''Puzzle and Dragons'' and the {{uv|Metal Gear}} series make it clear that Rathalos and many other wyverns are considered to be dragons outside of the taxonomy used in their home universe. | Much like [[Charizard]], Rathalos is not explicitly referred to as a dragon in Western versions of its home series, but is treated as one in ''Super Smash Bros.

Bowser fights {{SSBU|Mario}} afterwards, then [[Metal Mario]] (upon Mario's defeat); Hero has two more regular rounds before fighting {{SSBU|Robin}}, then a giant {{SSBU|Charizard}} (upon Robin's defeat); Sephiroth fights Rathalos in the first round in his route. Usually, Roar/Rathalos plays during the battle, but when Hero fights Rathalos, Fighting Spirits - DRAGON QUEST III plays, and Galeem/Dharkon plays during the boss rush. | ||
