Trivia

  • While the Pokémon Trainer wears a hat, the Pokémon do not, making them the only fighters in this tourney not to wear any headwear.
  • The tourney is seemingly limited to headwear that completely covers the head. Because of this, several fighters with headwear such as crowns, bandanas, and wreaths are excluded from the tourney.
  • Similarly, only fighters with headwear in all of their alternate costumes are available. Because of this, Link, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pichu, Little Mac, Inkling, Hero, and Steve are excluded from the tourney.
    • Despite this, Link's hat from his Hero of the Wild alternate costume is featured in the tourney's banner.
