 *Steve is the second playable character in ''Smash'' to have debuted on a home computer platform, following [[Solid Snake]].
 *Steve is the only character in the entire series to not have any [[idle poses]].
-*Steve's default design in ''Ultimate'' has a beard (often confused for a smile), which was originally created for one of Perssons's abandoned projects prior to ''Minecraft'', known only as "Zombie Town", which was a game that was developed for the Java 4K contest<ref>[https://archive.org/details/ZombieTown_Video], The only known footage of the abandoned Zombie Town, a game Notch created for the Java 4K contest.</ref>. The beard was then repurposed for early "Classic" builds of ''Minecraft'', but was removed from his texture early in development in version "0.24_SURVIVAL_TEST", although it has continued to appear in promotional artwork and merchandise since then.
+*Steve's default design in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is almost entirely taken from a long-outdated texture of the character only featured in very early versions of ''Minecraft'', with his beard (often confused for a smile) being removed in September 2009 only four months into development. Despite this, this design continued to appear in merchandise and promotional material (including ''Ultimate'') in the following years, and a redesign of Steve's in-game texture in August 2022 saw the beard's official re-addition, nearly 13 years later.
-**As of August 20, 2022, Mojang has released revised default skins for Steve and Alex, with Steve's beard being readded to the texture.
