**Being characters original to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the Mii Fighters do not have any sources outside of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to use for their fighter spirits.

**While Kazuya's Coat costume has alternate artwork, the reason for Kazuya's default costume not having artwork is unknown, as he has plenty of artwork from the ''Tekken'' series, but is likely unused as all other ''Tekken'' spirits (except for Nina Williams and Yoshimitsu) use artwork from ''Tekken 7'', which lacks artwork of Kazuya in his Gi. Kazuya is the only DLC fighter with this distinction, as well as the only character whose alternate costume has artwork but the default does not.

Kazuya is the only DLC fighter with this distinction, as well as the only character whose alternate costume has artwork but the default does not.
*There are several significant alternate costumes which do not have their own fighter spirit, including:
**{{SSBU|Link}}'s Tunic of the Wild costume.
**{{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}'s ''Metroid: Zero Mission'' and ''Metroid Fusion'' casual outfits.
**Spiky-eared {{SSBU|Pichu}}.
**{{SSBU|R.O.B.}}'s Famicom costume (including the Japanese version where the spirit image still uses a photograph of R.O.B.'s international colors).
**{{SSBU|Isabelle}}'s winter coat.
**{{SSBU|Little Mac}}'s hoodie, wireframe, and wireframe hoodie alternate costumes.
**{{SSBU|Shulk}}'s Ecru Type (swimsuit) costume.
**{{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} in a pot.
**[[Zombie]] and [[Enderman]], though they are represented as primary spirits.
**{{SSBU|Sephiroth}}'s coatless costume.
***Of these, Spiky-eared Pichu and winter Isabelle are the only ones that have official artwork in their home series (excluding Piranha Plant, which already uses artwork in a pipe for its default spirit, and Zombie and Enderman, again due to them already being primary spirits).
*Excluding the ones who only use their ''Ultimate'' artwork, {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} is the only fighter that uses artwork from a game outside of her own series, as her "Bayonetta (Bayonetta)" fighter spirit uses artwork from ''Anarchy Reigns''.

**Although {{SSBU|Pac-Man}}'s fighter spirit was used in ''Sonic Dash'', it does not originate from there, instead being generic promotional artwork from Bandai Namco.
*''The Legend of Zelda'' is the only universe with multiple fighters whose fighter spirits are not organized by [[fighter number]]. If they were, {{SSBU|Sheik}} would be placed before {{SSBU|Zelda}}, and {{SSBU|Young Link}} would be placed before {{SSBU|Ganondorf}}.

**Similarly, the [[Koopalings]] are not ordered the same way as they are on the character selection screen when selecting Bowser Jr.'s alternate costumes.

*Meta Ridley and Ike (Path of Radiance) are the only fighter spirits that cannot be unlocked via the Vault Shop.

*{{SSBU|Lucas}}, {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}, and the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}} are the only fighters to use sprites for their fighter spirits.
*{{SSBU|Ness}} and {{SSBU|R.O.B.}} are the only fighters to use real-life photographs for their fighter spirits.
*{{SSBU|Min Min}}, {{SSBU|Pyra}}, and {{SSBU|Mythra}} all had spirits before becoming playable; as such, their fighter spirits are denoted with "(Fighter)".

*{{SSBU|Joker}} is the only character to have a unique ''Smash'' render in their fighter spirit, as he uses artwork of him without his mask on as well as Arsène appearing with a render exclusive to the spirit. He is also the only character to feature another character not mentioned by name in their home series spirit artwork, again being Arsène.

**Palutena, Bayonetta, female Corrin and Pyra's fighter spirits remain unchanged, even though their actual appearances were altered in a similar manner.

*Sora, Iggy, and Lemmy are the only characters whose fighter spirit artwork and ''Smash'' artwork share the same pose. Barring the Timeless River costume, Sora's default spirit more resembles his [[:File:Sora KH1.png|artwork]] from the original ''Kingdom Hearts'' rather than his render for ''Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMix''.

**Additionally, if Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings are excluded (as they are each individual characters despite sharing the same character slot), Sora has the most fighter spirits out of any character.
