*'''Obvious.''' "[[Bowser]] has a hard head, which he uses for some moves." Anything that can be deduced from simple observation is interesting to no one, and will only serve to inflate a trivia section.

*'''Opinion.''' "[[Falcon Punch]] is the most epic move ever." Your opinion can be whatever you want it to be, but it doesn't belong in the mainspace of this wiki.

*'''Overabundance.''' "{{SSBU|Mario}} is one of only eight characters must be unlocked in Final Destination in World of Light, the other being, Bowser (Giga Bowser in World of Light), {{SSBU|Shiek}}, {{SSBU|Marth}}, {{SSBU|Snake}}, {{SSBU|Villager}}, {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}} and {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}." Common trivia for many characters, stages, universes, etc is that they have a unique detail in which most others don't have the distinction. If the distinction is shared with too many of the like, then it removes the whole point of the trivia being notable. As the amount of fighters, stages, etc can vary from game to game, ideally if more than 25% share the trait, then it's no longer unique.

*'''Speculative.''' "[[Donkey Kong]]'s white costume may be a reference to some minor side character no one remembers in his short lived TV series." If it "might be" or "possibly is", it doesn't belong. [[SmashWiki is not speculative]].

*'''Falsehoods.''' "[[Sonic]] can be unlocked in ''Melee'', it just hasn't been done yet." Straightforward; if it's not true, take it down.
