Trivia
- The Japanese and NTSC English titles for the tourney are derived from the lyrics of Lifelight.
- Unlike other Event Tourneys themed around newcomers for a particular Smash Bros. game, Reawaken the Undying Light does not restrict stage selection to the stages that debuted in Ultimate.
- This is the only Event Tourney themed around newcomers for a particular Smash Bros. game in which every eligible fighter appears on the banner.
- The unlockable fighters from Smash 64 (Luigi, Ness, Captain Falcon, and Jigglypuff) are not present in the banner for Original Class of '64, as the banner is a reference to the Japanese cover of the aforementioned game, which did not feature the unlockable fighters.
- Sheik is not present in the banner for A Tribute to Melee, as the banner is a reference to the character selection screen of Melee, where Sheik couldn't be directly selected on said screen and was accessed through her alternate form, Zelda.
- The Pokémon Trainer himself is not present in the banner for Brawl Veterans Represent!, although all three of his Pokémon (Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard) are.
- The Mii Fighters are not present in the banner for Free Four All.
