*[[Ice Climbers]] - The Ice Climbers were originally planned to return as characters. While reportedly functioning on the Wii U version, the Nintendo 3DS's technical specifications made it difficult to properly incorporate the two into the game.<ref>http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/07/09/i-answer-some-questions-sakurai-famitsu-column-vol-461-464</ref> Sakurai stated in his Famitsu collection,''Thoughts About Making the Video Games 2'', that they even went as far as disabling gravity and other effects in attempt to get the Ice Climbers working. Since Sakurai wished for the two games to have identical rosters, the Ice Climbers were ultimately removed from the game, though they do appear in the games as a trophy.

*Alternate characters - Sakurai has stated that {{SSB4|Dark Pit}}, {{SSB4|Dr. Mario}}, and {{SSB4|Lucina}} were originally going to be [[alternate costume]]s for {{SSB4|Pit}}, {{SSB4|Mario}}, and {{SSB4|Marth}}, respectively. They were promoted to full characters due to either having a feature that made them unique, or because Sakurai wanted to add a feature to make them unique<ref>http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/07/09/i-answer-some-questions-sakurai-famitsu-column-vol-461-464</ref>: Dr. Mario with his [[Megavitamins]] and [[Dr. Tornado]], along with his [[down aerial]]; Dark Pit with his [[Electroshock Arm]] and [[Dark Pit Staff|Final Smash]]; and Lucina with her hitbox placement. In addition, Sakurai felt that Dr. Mario's fans would be upset if Dr. Mario was only a palette swap.
