Homestuck is a multi-media franchise beginning with the webcomic Homestuck, which spawned sequels, a video game, and an officially-published graphic novel edition. MEGALOVANIA, the Undertale song that was previously in Homestuck under the name MeGaLoVania, appears as a DLC music track in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, only playing on stages with music listed in the "Other" category. The song is acknowledged as originating from Undertale, and as such, Homestuck is not directly referenced in the game in any way.

| First installment | Ai no Uta (2001) |
| Latest installment | Song of Hey! Pikmin (2017) |
Strawberry Flower (ストロベリー・フラワー, Strawberry Flower) is a Japanese virtual band that formed in 2001 as a trio of the three colors of Pikmin, later adding in the other Pikmin over time. Two songs from the Pikmin universe in Brawl, Ai no Uta and Tane no Uta, are not present in the Pikmin games themselves; rather, they were chart singles by an anonymous band, "Strawberry Flower," released to promote the series in Japan. A third, Ai no Uta (French Version), was only used in Pikmin's French advertising.
Minor representation
- Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Burglar: Arsène is inspired by the titular character of Maurice Leblanc's stories.
- Bayonetta: Bloody Fate: Bayonetta's and Rodin's Japanese voice actors, Atsuko Tanaka and Tesshō Genda, reprise their roles from the movie, as well as the Japanese dub of Bayonetta 2; Hideki Kamiya, the game's director, was initially against a Japanese voice cast, and thus left one out of the first game, but after the release of the movie, he liked the dub enough to keep the cast in Bayonetta 2.
- Dracula: Dracula is inspired by the titular character of Bram Stoker's novel.
- Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children: Four of Cloud's costumes in Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are directly based on his "Cloudy Wolf" costume.
- Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture: One of Terry Bogard's costumes in Ultimate is directly based upon his appearance in the film.
- Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem: Marth's voice actor, Hikaru Midorikawa, reprises his role from the original video animation.
- Frankenstein: The Creature in Dracula's Castle is inspired by the monster in Mary Shelley's novel, especially influenced by its portrayal by Boris Karloff in the 1931 film adaptation.
- Greek mythology: Serves as the basis of characters from multiple universes, including:
- Kid Icarus is heavily influenced by Greek mythology, and the series itself is named after the myth of Icarus (which likely serves as the inspiration for Pit's inability to fly). Many characters from Kid Icarus are directly named after figures from Greek mythology, including Medusa, Pandora, Thanatos, and Hades. Palutena's name is derived from Pallas Athena. Twinbellows and Hewdraw are likely based upon the mythological creatures Cerberus and Lernaean Hydra, respectively.
- The Pokémon Hydreigon is likely named after the Hydra.
- The Medusa Heads from Castlevania are based upon Medusa.
- Journey to the West: Goku from Yūyūki is based upon the Monkey King, known as Son Gokū in Japanese.
- Kirby: Right Back at Ya!: In Japanese, Meta Knight and Knuckle Joe are voiced by their actors from the Kirby anime. The Galaxia got its name from the anime. The song Checker Knights also originally debuted in the anime, though its appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl derives from Kirby Air Ride. Makiko Ohmoto, who first voiced Kirby in SSB64 voiced Kirby in both anime dubs.
- Norse mythology: The Kraken from Kid Icarus is inspired by the mythological creature from Nordic folklore. Odin from Final Fantasy is based upon the Norse god.
- Pokémon the Series: Many characters from the Pokémon universe are voiced by their anime actors. 4Kids Entertainment, who produced the series' international dubs until 2006, is credited for their work on the original Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee.
- Pokémon the Series: The Beginning: Misty and Professor Oak’s trophies in Super Smash Bros. Melee are based on her appearance and his in the anime. Additionally, Meowth's trophy in Melee is based on Meowth's Party, the seventh ending animation for the anime. Ash Ketchum, the anime's protagonist, is directly mentioned in Pokémon Trainer's trophy description in Smash 4, which also quotes the Pokémon Theme; in Ultimate, the theme is referenced again, in the Pokémon Trainer's Boxing Ring title. Additionally, both Pikachu's Classic Mode title and the Pokémon Trainer's crowd chant in Ultimate reference the anime's usage of "I choose you!" when Ash throws out a Pokémon.
- Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back: Mewtwo's portrayal starting in Melee is linked to its appearance in the movie, as implied by its Japanese voice lines, as well as its voice actor in Melee, Masachika Ichimura, who reprises his role from the original Japanese cast of the movie. The Lucario from the Mystery of mew is the SSB Lucario.
- Pokémon the Series: XY: Ash-Greninja, a form obtained by Ash Ketchum and his Greninja, makes an appearance in Ultimate in Greninja's Final Smash, Secret Ninja Attack, with Greninja transforming into such when activating the attack.
- Sonic X: One of Sonic's costumes in Brawl, Smash 4, and Ultimate resembles Dark Sonic, a brief transformation that occurred in the anime. Additionally, Jason Griffith, Sonic and Shadow's voice actor from the anime (who later carried over into the Sonic video games, alongside the rest of the 4Kids cast, starting with Shadow the Hedgehog), reprised his role as both characters in Brawl.
- Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!: One of Luigi's costumes in Smash 4 and Ultimate is reminiscent to his appearance in the movie.
