Trivia

• With 39 fighters, Tools of the Trade currently has the highest number of available fighters available for a character-specific Event Tourney so far.
• Due to Inkling and Isabelle appearing in the event, all characters in Ultimate's base roster have been playable in at least one Event Tourney that restricts character selection.
• The banner's background features tools by various fighters rendered in the style of Minecraft. They are the following:
  • Isabelle's squeaky hammer
  • Link's boomerang, bow, and remote bomb
  • Snake's flare grenade used for Covering Fire
  • R.O.B.'s Gyro
  • King K. Rool's crown and blunderbuss
  • Inkling's Splat Roller and Splattershot
  • Ness's yo-yo
  • Pac-Man's fire hydrant
  • Samus's super missile and bomb
  • Duck Hunt's can
  • Daisy's parasol
  • Simon and Richter's axe
  • Villager's bowling ball and net
• Oddly, Sonic is a part of this tournament despite not using any sort of tools or weapons in his moveset (discounting the usage of his Spin Attacks as a weapon).
