Trivia

• This event was teased during the event SSB Ultimate Is Five Years Old! as the first of four Spirit Board events.
• This is the first new Spirit Board event of 2024, and the first event to introduce new spirits to the game in two years.
• Unlike the remaining three spirits, the Noah & Mio spirit does not feature their series name, being Xenoblade Chronicles, on the battle screen, nor in the list of spirits. Despite this, the series logo is still present.
