*[[Spiral Mountain]] is the only stage from a 1990s game not present in the event.
*[[Spiral Mountain]] is the only stage from a 1990s game not present in the event.
**This could arguably also apply to [[Kongo Falls]], [[Castle Siege]], [[Coliseum]] and [[King of Fighters Stadium]], as while these stages are not based on specific games, the concepts originate from ''Donkey Kong Country'', ''Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'', and ''Fatal Fury: King of Fighters'' respectively, all of which were released in the 1990s.
*[[Mushroom Kingdom II]] is present in the event despite coming from a 1980s game (1987's ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' in Japan and 1988's ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' in North America), because ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' itself (known as ''Super Mario USA'' in Japanese) first released in Japan in 1992.

*The PAL region name may be a reference to [[wikipedia:Maurizio De Jorio|Maurizio De Jorio]]'s song ''Running in the 90s'', featured in the ''Initial D'' anime and a popular song in memes in the late 2000s.
*{{SSBU|Final Destination}} is present in the event, but not {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, despite both originating from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''.
*{{SSBU|Final Destination}} is present in the event, but not {{SSBU|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]], and not having the grassy aesthetic that later Battlefield stages would embrace while Final Destination has consistently stayed space-themed since ''64''.
*{{SSBU|Sephiroth}}, {{SSBU|Kazuya}}, and [[Hero (SSBU)|Solo]] are the only playable characters originating from the 1990s not present in the event, due to the former two being released in [[Fighters Pass Vol. 2]] after the event (which has not been revisited as of yet), and the latter being an alternate costume of the Luminary.

**Along with that, [[Northern Cave]] is also a stage from the 1990s that is not present in the event for later-release reasons.
