• Rayquaza is the only DLC veteran who was playable in the E3 demo.
• Rayquaza was the last non-DLC character added to the Super Smash Bros. Blog.
  • However, due to Mr. Game & Watch's blog page only being available on the Asian websites until December 7, Mr. Game & Watch was the last character added to the blog on non-Asian websites.
