  • Similarly, Clu Clu Land, Devil World, Excite, SimCity, Custom Robo, Kururin, Sheriff, The Mysterious Murasame Castle, Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru, Brain Age, Joy Mech Fight, Fatal Frame, Art Academy, Virtua Fighter, and Monster Hunter all have only received minor representation in the series as well before eventually being represented with Items or Assist Trophies.
• Balloon Fight, Excite, Jam with the Band, Golden Sun, Custom Robo, Kururin, Nintendo Wars, Sin and Punishment, Drill Dozer, and Rhythm Heaven are the only major universes to have become a minor universe in an installment after receiving major representation in a previous installment.
  • However, Golden Sun would later return to its previous status in a following installment, and Balloon Fight would become a primary universe in a following installment, as well.
• Excluding universes introduced in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Doshin the Giant, bit Generations, English Training, Soccer, Thru, BIT.TRIP, Shadow Land, Bravoman, and Tales are the only minor universes to only be represented in one installment.
• With it first being represented in Melee and not receiving any representation again until Ultimate, Cubivore has the longest gap for lack of representation between installments of any minor universe.
