Trivia
- Moving the camera so that it faces behind the stage is impossible on stages that do not support 360 view; the screen simply fades to black, with a message telling the player to reset the camera's direction. Though, it is possible to see the void behind where the camera normally is if the player turns the camera just enough to see it where the message does not pop up. The ones that do allow it mostly appear be ones that have the stage travel around the environment, which would make sense as the majority of the stage is viewable during normal game play.
- The Mii Fighters cannot be selected in this mode; the reason for this is currently unknown.
- The Stage Select screen, the Fighter Select screen and the Victory/Results screen are bordered 16:9. The gameplay HUD and Pause Menu are open matte 16:9.
- The screen cut to black and transitions are used in a black background instead of white after each battle.
- If Joker wins however, his screen transition is used instead.
- However, the Versus screen is not shown when the game is loading.
