* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVAV07rpm-o a TV spot for Melee]], the game is referred to as "one big brawl", and the back of the game's box art has the tagline "The All-Star Brawl is On". Fast forward seven years, and the next installment in the series was titled as ''Super Smash Bros. '''Brawl'''''.

This led to some fans trying to deduce the next game's title from the back of ''Brawl'''s box, which turned out to be for naught since [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU said title]] was just the name of console it was on.

* One of Pikachu's alternate colorations from ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros64 Smash 64]]'' resembles its shiny coloration, even though the game predated the introduction of shiny Pokémon in ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'' by ten months.
* In ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee Melee]]'', the end of the [[VideoGame/KidIcarus Pit]] trophy's description asks, "Will Pit ever fight again?" Seven years later, and Pit is the second newcomer announced for ''Brawl'' and four years after that got [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising another game]] for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS.

* Jigglypuff's Final Smash, Puff Up, has it grow giant, which doesn't resemble any ability it has in the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' franchise... Until ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' introduced Dynamax, over 11 years after the release of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''.



* In a moment that doubles as [[HeartwarmingInHindsight heartwarming]] during the Sakurai Presents for Banjo & Kazooie, Sakurai obviously felt awkward talking about the duo tying into ''Rare Replay'', the latest game release that kept them relevant on a [[UsefulNotes/XboxOne competing game console]], despite Nintendo's increasing friendship with Microsoft. It actually paid off once their [[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie debut game]] was confirmed to be in the Nintendo 64 lineup of Nintendo Switch Online's Expansion Pack.

* Ganondorf's Forward Tilt became known by fans as the "Sparta Kick" due to it resembling the kick done by Leonidas in ''Film/ThreeHundred'' when he punts a Persian messenger into a well. Come ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom Tears of the Kingdom]]'', Ganondorf's German voice would be provided by Tilo Schmitz, who also voiced none other than Leonidas in ''300''.

* In ''Brawl'', one of [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]]'s win quotes is, "Hey, we should do this again sometime!" Come October 2014, he's back and the only returning third-party character ([[Franchise/MetalGear Snake]] wouldn't make a return until ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Ultimate]]'', and {{VideoGame/Pac Man}} and {{VideoGame/Mega Man}} are newcomers).

** In addition, the only non-legendary Pokemon to be included in the balls in Melee’s event is Wobbufett. Competitive Pokemon players might get a chuckle out of this, as Wobbufett would go on to become the first non-legendary Pokemon to be banned to the [[GameBreaker Ubers]] tier in [[{{VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire}} Ruby and Sapphire]].

* The innumerable "Better Nerf Greninja" memes back in the ''3DS and Wii U'' era is funny to think about following the ninth generation in ''Pokemon'', Greninja faced ''severe'' nerfs to both of its signature abilities upon its release.[[labelnote:Specifically...]]Protean, which originally switched Greninja's typing every time it used a move now only does so for the first move it uses, and Battle Bond merely boosts Attack, Sp. Atk and Speed by one stage after defeating an opponent rather than trigger the Ash-Greninja transformation and the base stat and Water Shuriken boosts that came with it.[[/labelnote]]
