*[[Ayumi Tachibana]] from {{uvm|Famicom Detective Club}} was considered as a playable character, as confirmed by Sakurai on a {{iw|wikipedia|Niconico}} interview in 2016.

*[[Lucas]], the protagonist of the then-unreleased ''Mother 3'', was initially supposed to appear as a replacement to [[Ness]]. When ''Mother 3'' was cancelled for a Nintendo 64 release and instead moved to the Game Boy Advance for development, Ness was kept in ''Melee''. Lucas later became playable in ''Brawl'' in addition to Ness rather than replacing him.
