Homestuck is a multi-media franchise beginning with the webcomic Homestuck, which spawned sequels, a video game, and an officially-published graphic novel edition. MEGALOVANIA, the Undertale song that was previously in Homestuck under the name MeGaLoVania, appears as a DLC music track in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, only playing on stages with music listed in the "Other" category. The song is acknowledged as originating from Undertale, and as such, Homestuck is not directly referenced in the game in any way.
Minor representation
- Dracula: Dracula is inspired by the titular character of Bram Stoker's novel.
- Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children: Four of Cloud's costumes in Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are directly based on his "Cloudy Wolf" costume.
- Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture: One of Terry Bogard's costumes in Ultimate is directly based upon his appearance in the film.
- Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem (anime): Marth's voice actor, Hikaru Midorikawa, reprises his role from the original video animation.
- Frankenstein: The Creature on Dracula's Castle is inspired by the monster in Mary Shelley's novel, especially influenced by its portrayal by Boris Karloff in the 1931 film adaptation.
- Kirby: Right Back at Ya!: In Japanese, Meta Knight and Knuckle Joe are voiced by their actors from the Kirby anime. The song Checker Knights also originally debuted in the anime, though its appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl derives from Kirby Air Ride.
- Pokémon the Series: Many characters from the Pokémon universe are voiced by their anime actors. 4Kids Entertainment, who produced the series' international dubs until 2006, is credited for their work on the original Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee.
- Pokémon the Series: The Beginning: Misty's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee is based on her appearance in the anime. Additionally, Meowth's trophy in Melee is based on Meowth's Party, the seventh ending animation for the anime. Ash Ketchum, the anime's protagonist, is directly mentioned in Pokémon Trainer's trophy description in Smash 4, which also quotes the Pokémon Theme.
- Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back: Mewtwo's portrayal starting in Melee is linked to its appearance in the movie, as implied by its Japanese voice lines, as well as its voice actor in Melee, Masachika Ichimura, who reprises his role from the original Japanese cast of the movie.
- Sonic X: One of Sonic's costumes in Brawl, Smash 4, and Ultimate resembles Dark Sonic, a brief transformation that occurred in the anime.
- Strawberry Flower: Two songs from the Pikmin universe in Brawl, Ai no Uta and Tane no Uta, are not present in the Pikmin games themselves; rather, they were chart singles by an anonymous band, "Strawberry Flower," released to promote the series in Japan. A third, Ai no Uta (French Version), was only used in Pikmin's French advertising.
- Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!: One of Luigi's costumes in Smash 4 and Ultimate is reminiscent to his appearance in the movie.
