==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In earlier versions of Project M, Toon Link's neutral air was originally a [[sex kick]] akin to {{SSBM|Young Link}}'s neutral air in ''Melee'' but it was reverted to its Brawl incarnation in v3.5.
*In Project M v3.0, Toon Link's costume had an odd hole in his head, and crashed the game when a Metal Box was used.
*In Project M v3.0, Toon Link's costume had an odd hole in his head, and crashed the game when a Metal Box was used.
*In ''Project M'', Toon Link is the only version of Link with an alternate costume that does not include his signature hat. ''Project+'' would include three more costumes that follow this trait, bringing it up to four.
*Toon Link is the only version of Link whose alternate costumes do not include his signature hat; he has one such costume in ''Project M'' and four in ''Project+''. The reason for this is because the Outset and Linebeck costumes do not have him wear a hat at all, while the secret costumes give him different hats altogether; the engineer cap and Ezlo (who acts as a "hat" of sorts).
**The Outset and Lineback costumes give him no hat at all. The secret costumes give him different hats altogether; the engineer cap and Ezlo (who acts as a "hat" of sorts).
