Trivia
- Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS includes various unused elements within its data for 8-player Smash.
- While Ω forms of stages are available in 8-Player Smash, Final Destination itself cannot be used in 8-Player Smash, despite the Ω stages usually being no larger than Final Destination itself.
- Although regular Mario Galaxy can be played, its Ω form cannot be played. The same applies to The Great Cave Offensive.
