Trivia

• Prior to the 1.1.0 update, Dixie Kong (as well as the Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong spirit) was ordered before Swanky Kong and Wrinkly Kong.
• Due to their appearances as spirits, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the first appearance of Kiddy Kong and Swanky Kong since the Game Boy Advance version of Donkey Kong Country 3, as well as Tiny Kong in her debut design.
• The Donkey Kong & Bongos' game of origin is listed as "Donkey Kong Jungle Beat", despite the artwork and specific pairing actually coming from the Donkey Konga series.
