The following is a list of series that are technically represented in ''Super Smash Bros.'', but either have a questionable standing as being their own franchise, represented in too minor, indirect, or speculative a way to even be considered dependant, in some way has the potential to be a coincidence, or all of the above. See the minor third-party universes article for dependant universes, which are omitted here. I will set up solid rules at some point, as there are some entries I think are ''too'' pedantic even for this whole concept. Refrain from adding or removing entries until those rules are set up, at that point I will welcome them. Until now, you can put new discoveries in discussion, and edit entries' info.

Major WIP, I have inserted some small references for unwritten paragraphs for when I get back to this article.

Luigi's ''Smash 4'' trophy descriptions refer to his quirky taunts as "100% Weegee". While the name Luigi had been said without "Lu-" in spoken word before ''Smash 4'' (particularly in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series), ''Smash 4'' marks the canonising of the spelling "Weegee" for said nickname.

==Extremely likely to be a coincidence==
The following universes are ones that may have been referenced in text contexts, but are extremely unlikely to be anything more than a coincidence and have very rational explanations to the contrary. Note that some references above may also be coincidences, but have significantly more likely links.
*'''''Bubble Bobble''''' is a classic 80s platformer series about two brothers transformed into dragons, who possess the ability to trap enemies in spit bubbles and must return home, rescue their girlfriends and parents, and transform back into humans. One of the name tags in ''Melee'' is "BUB", the protagonist of this series and also a common slang for "friend" in some territories.
<!---I'm unsure on this one, I typically associate the name "chowder" with the cartoon, and was not aware of the soup until the cartoon came out (I was relatively young at the time mind you), and I don't really have much reference for how much the cultural association of the word "chowder" is the cartoon vs. the soup, and therefore am not sure if the chance of this being a reference to the cartoon is "marginal" or "slightly-above marginal". *'''''Chowder''''' is a Cartoon Network series about an apprentice chef learning to cook in a world where everyone is named after food and is aware they live in a cartoon. In ''Ultimate'', there is a name tag named "CHOWDER", which is most likely a reference to the soup the character is named after rather than the character himself. -->
*'''''Initial D''''' is a Japanese seinen manga revolving around illegal drag races in mountainous areas. The [[Hailing from the '90s]] tournament is known as "Fighting in the Ninties" in Europe, a possible reference to a "Running in the 90s", a popular song from the series that is the subject of an internet meme, though the "90s" in the original context refers to the speed of the cars as opposed to the decade
*'''Krypto the Super Dog''' is a character from DC Comics, depicted as the pet dog of Superman, with his level of anthropomorphism varying between iterations. The ''Ultimate'' name tag "SUPERDOG" may be a reference to this character.
*'''The Notorious B.I.G.''', also known as '''Biggie Smalls''' was an American gangster rapper, often regarded as one of the greatest rappers ever. "POPPA", another nickname used by Biggie and featured in one of his debut songs, is a name tag in ''Ultimate'', though this is also a generic slang term for a father in some territories.
*'''''PaRappa the Rapper''''' is a pioneering rhythm game series revolving around a young dog who aspires to impress his crush, Sunny Funny the flower, by passing various adulthood milestones through rap music. The spirit event [[Step on the Gas!]] may be a reference to a line in the Car Rap.
*'''''South Park''''' is an adult animated series that tackles topical events in a darkly comedic, politically-incorrect manner through the eyes of a cast of bratty, foul-mouthed children in a snowy American town. One of [[Toon Link]]'s tips in ''Smash 4'' states that "if you try to dunk someone with it, you're gonna have a bad time", a possible reference to a meme from the series in which a ski instructor states "You're gonna have a bad time".
*'''''Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory''''' is a film adaptation of the Roald Dahl children's book ''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'', about a group of children who win a ticket to a chocolate factory, but are injured one-by-one in a cartoonish fashion. One of the name tags in ''Ultimate'' is "CANDYMAN", a possible reference to a song from the film.
