Trivia

• This was the first Event Tourney to have specific available items, but not specific available stages.
• The basis of the battle is very similar to the "Point…less" conquest in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U.
• Bowser Jr. is not a playable character in this event despite having a spiky shell like Bowser.
