*Despite there being 5 "?"-marked character boxes initially, there are a total of 11 unlockable characters, with the ones not marked by a "?" being [[clone]]s.

**Oddly enough, when Luigi becomes unlocked, he takes his place beside Mario and bumps Pikachu down into a "?" box. Pikachu being sandwiched in the ''Mario'' section in the first place appears to have been done so the bottom-row placement of the "?" boxes is aesthetically pleasing without having to move anything else around.
