(→‎Trivia: That's probably because, unlike with Persona and Minecraft and their respective developers, none of the Banjo games released on Xbox hardware list Rare as a copyright holder. Not sure if this is also the case for the other Rare-developed Xbox games, but I know this at least applies to the Banjo games from what I've searched.)

*Rare is the first company located outside of Japan to receive representation in ''Smash'' via a playable character, with [[Diddy Kong]]'s inclusion in ''Brawl''. In addition to getting [[King K. Rool]] and [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]] in future installments, they would later be joined by [[Retro Studios]], who created [[Dark Samus]], and [[Mojang Studios]], who created [[Steve]].

*Due to having created multiple Nintendo owned characters and having some of their other properties represented in ''64'' and ''Melee'', Rare is the first and only third-party company to receive minor representation before introducing a playable character.
**Rare is also technically the only third-party to be represented in ''64'' and ''Melee'' at all. However, the company was not third-party at the time.
