==Trivia==
*Dark Wizzy qualified one year and five months prior to the tournament due to it being postponed. After it was postponed, there were jokes congratulating Dark Wizzy on winning Smash Ultimate Summit 3 due to him being the only confirmed player.
*At over $156,000, this tournament will have the largest singles pot for an ''Ultimate'' tournament, tripling {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit}}'s record of $51,917, and the first to exceed $100,000. It is also the largest pot for any ''Smash'' game, beating out {{Trn|Smash Summit 11}}'s record.
*Similarly to Smash Summit 11, the vote-in process for Smash Ultimate Summit 3 achieved a number of firsts in comparison to prior Summits:
**During the final day of nomination, an anonymous user botted the nomination phase, causing a surge of votes for {{Sm|Gamer}}, {{Sm|JeJaJeJa}}, {{Sm|Jake}}, and {{Sm|M.M.Leo}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Riddlesmk/status/1423666385859796993|title=Bots voting for Gamer}}</ref>
**During the second round of elimination, {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} edged out {{Sm|Chag}} by a single vote, making this the closest someone was from being eliminated for a Smash Summit tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LoopBarnard/status/1425171027726946306|title=1 point elimination}}</ref>
**{{Sm|Aaron|p=Florida}} received the most votes for any first round Summit vote-in player in Summit history (around 120,900 votes), narrowly surpassing {{Sm|Hungrybox}}’s record at Smash Summit 11.
**{{Sm|Peanut}} received the most votes for any player that would ultimately be eliminated from the voting phase (around 144,000 votes), surpassing {{Sm|Wizzrobe}}’s record at Smash Summit 11.
**{{Sm|Kola}} received the most votes out of anyone ever voted into a Summit event (around 184,000 votes), surpassing {{Sm|Yingling}}’s record at Smash Summit 11.
*This is the first Smash Ultimate Summit with no top ''Melee'' players competing.
