Spiral Mountain
  • The puppet fighter favoring Headbutt and the Pitfall items reference Bottles being a mole who burrows in molehills and hides underground.
  • The Invisibility battle condition, which is shared with other Spirit Battles for ghost characters, could be a reference the events of Banjo-Tooie, where Bottles is killed by Gruntilda and spends most of the game as a ghost.

  • The three Giant Dr. Mario puppet fighters and the music represent Gruntilda's scientist assistant, Klungo, who is battled three times in Banjo-Tooie. The puppet fighters' frequent use of Megavitamins reference Klungo's common potion-throwing attack.
  • The stage represents the top of Gruntilda's Lair, where Gruntilda is fought in Banjo-Kazooie.

Trivia

  • With the exception of Banjo & Kazooie, Mumbo Jumbo, and Jiggy, all the spirits in the Banjo-Kazooie series use an original render based on their appearance on Spiral Mountain. Of the three, Mumbo Jumbo is the only one to appear in the background of Spiral Mountain in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
  • Gruntilda is the first DLC Legend-class spirit whose effect isn't an "Other Skill" effect, but rather a "Hazard Skill" effect.
