** An unused announcer call for Giga Bowser can be heard in the sound test. If you're playing in English, the announcer will say "Giga Koopa". Likewise, he'll say "Giga Bowser" if the language is set to Japanese.
** Mewtwo's Confusion will reflect projectiles, but for some reason, the reflected projectile won't belong to Mewtwo. ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU Smash 4]]'' would correct this.

* {{Blooper}}: A few trophies contain incorrect information or other errors.
** Daisy's trophy states that after her appearance in ''VideoGame/MarioGolf'', she's become Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach. This information was mistranslated from her Japanese trophy, which stated she appeared in ''Mario Open Golf'', which was released in the US as ''NES Open Tournament Golf''. Also, Daisy's trophy infamously has a third eye on the back on her head in earlier versions.
** An example bordering on OrwellianRetcon, the Poison Mushroom trophy says the item debuted in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioAllStars'' (which contains a [[RemadeForTheExport remake of]] ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels'' a.k.a. the Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 2'') instead of the [[NoExportForYou then Japan-only]] original game. Since ''Melee'', Nintendo has rereleased the original ''Lost Levels'' in Western markets and acknowledges its existence openly, so the trophy has the correct attribution in later games.
** Meta Knight's trophy says he debuted in ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'', but he actually first appeared in ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure''. It also incorrectly writes his name with a hyphen as "Meta-Knight".
** The Sheriff trophy says that the game was only released in Japan, but it was actually released outside of Japan under the title ''Bandido''.
** The Banzai Bill trophy states that they first appeared in ''Super Mario Bros.'', but they actually debuted in ''Super Mario World''.
** Marth's Classic Trophy as well as the one in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' claim that Akaneia destroyed Altea at the end of ''Shadow Dragon & The Blade Of Light'', when in reality, Akaneia merely controlled Altea for a time and Altea was reclaimed by Marth at the end of ''Mystery Of The Emblem''.

* {{Unperson}}: The "Original Game Staff" section of the credits omits notable key staff from the original games who had left Nintendo and/or passed away by the time of ''Melee's'' release.
