Unused content (SSBU)

The following unused content is known from the development of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

• In Pikachu's showcase trailer, Mr. Game and Watch is shown using his former forward smash animation from SSB4, but in the final game he uses his design from the Game and Watch game Fire Attack.
• When Ultimate was shown in demo form in November/early December 2018 and in the Tree house's coverage of the game before it was released, people noticed that Mr. Game and Watch's design was based off of the racist depiction of Native Americans in the Game and Watch game Fire Attack. The animation sparked up a lot of criticism from fans so much that Nintendo of America said that they were sorry and said they would remove the feather from Mr. Game and Watch's model, which resembles the characters appearance in the re release of the game in Game and Watch Gallery 4.
