Trivia

• If Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon are separated, Hailing from the '90s has the most amount of available fighters for an Event Tourney, with a total number of 29 available fighters.
  • If Pokémon Trainer is counted as a single fighter, then it has the second most available fighters with 27 fighters, behind Heroes Vs. Villains which has 28 fighters.
• This is the second Event Tourney based around a decade, following Bringing Back the '80s.
• The banner for the event pays homage to Pokemon Red and Blue, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Final Fantasy VII, Sonic the Hedgehog, Kirby's Dream Land and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
• Solo is the only playable character originating from the 1990s not present in the event, due to him being an alternate costume for the Luminary.
• Spiral Mountain is the only stage from a 1990s game not present in the event.
  • This could arguably also apply to Castle Siege, Coliseum and King of Fighters Stadium, as while these stages are not based on specific games, the concepts originate from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light and Fatal Fury: King of Fighters.
• Mushroom Kingdom II is present in the event despite coming from a 1980s game, likely as a reference to Super Mario Bros. 2 (known as Super Mario USA in Japanese) first releasing in Japan in 1992.
  • The stage actually originated from Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, first released in Japan in 1987.
• The European/Australian name may be a reference to Maurizio De Jorio's song "Running in the 90s".
• Final Destination is present in the event, but not Battlefield, despite both originating from the original Super Smash Bros.. This is likely due to Smash 64's variation of Battlefield having a different name, being known as Duel Zone.
