Trivia

  • If Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U are counted as one game, Kid Icarus has less tracks in Ultimate, as the original versions of "Wrath of the Reset Bomb" and "Dark Pit" are absent. The Kid Icarus series is also one of the franchises with at least one playable character to not gain any new remixes nor include songs that were previously skipped over.
