+'''''Dr. Mario''''' is a puzzle game series featuring {{uv|Mario}} characters (and, in ''64'', characters from ''Wario Land 3''), in which the player must connect pills of the same color to eliminate viruses.
+[[Dr. Mario]] has been featured as a playable character in all ''Super Smash Bros.'' games except for ''Brawl'' and ''64'', the prior still featuring him as a sticker and introducing new ''Dr. Mario'' music tracks, and the latter mentioning him in passing in Mario's description. Dr. Mario appears to have been planned for inclusion in ''Brawl''.

+'''Professor Hector''' is a character featured in all games that support [[R.O.B.]], described as being the inventor of the robot in-universe.
+The representation for the actual games that support R.O.B., as opposed to the physical hardware, is extremely scant, as {{uv|R.O.B.}} is mostly treated as a ''Smash'' original character and some elements of the Professor Hector lore contradict the plotline of [[The Subspace Emissary]]. However, R.O.B.'s victory jingle is taken from ''Stack-Up'', and a music track featuring songs from both Professor Hector games has been present since ''Brawl''.

 Pyoro's artwork as a Spirit in Ultimate is taken from ''Bird & Beans''. Additionally, all other instances of Pyoro representation, such as in a cameo on [[Gamer]], could be considered representation for the ''Pyoro'' series of games depending on how one views the franchise in relation to reality.

 Tingle's trophy description in ''Brawl'' describes the plot of ''Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland'', and Barkle; Pinkle; and Uncle Rupee are featured as Spirits. Tingle's Assist Trophy animation features flowers, presumably in reference to the box art of ''Rosy Rupeeland'' which shows Tingle skipping through a meadow, which is retained into ''Smash 4''. Zero content from the Tingle series appears in ''Ultimate'' however, with Tingle's reduced presence only taking from his ''Zelda'' appearances.

+'''''Wario Land''''' is a series of platformers starring [[Mario]]'s greedy, unkempt "dark" counterpart [[Wario]] on his adventures to acquire great fortune, often committing good deeds by complete accident along the way.
+''Wario Land'' only recieves very minor representation in ''Smash'', with moves like the "shoulder bash" having been implemented in very minor forms, and a single ''Wario Land'' music track (Stonecarving City from ''Wario Land: Shake It!'') being avaliable in ''Ultimate'' and ''for Wii U'', with {{uv|Wario}}'s representation instead mostly taking from ''WarioWare'' and original concepts based on the idea of Wario being a slob, which originated in marketing for ''Wario Land'' but is not particularly present in the games themselves. Various ''Wario Land'' Spirits and stickers have been featured in ''Ultimate'' and ''Brawl'' respectively, and ''Ultimate'' classifies Wario's overalls outfit, also featured in ''Mario'' games, as being from ''Wario Land''.
+''Smash'' would also directly influence ''Wario Land'', as the Stonecarving City theme was based on Wario's victory theme.

The game has notably had a rocky development cycle, originally planed for Winter 2019, and gaining a strong enough following for its protagonist Travis to be featured in many general ''EarthBound'' and ''Smash'' fan works such as ''Smashified!'', before being delayed indefinitely.
