Trivia[]

  • Several characters (including Dr. Mario, Dark Pit, and Lucina) are going to become alternate costumes for their respective characters.
    • Additionally, some characters will be getting their updated designs as alternate costumes. This is shown with Sonic (getting his Sonic Boom design), but other characters may get it as well.
  • Captain Toad was originally going to be an assist trophy, but SonicFanG7 decided against it. 
  • Here's some splash art made by Vonn Karma;
  • Lucas and Masked Man were originally going to share the same home stage, but that has since been changed. 
  • The working title for this game was project:Rebirth, and then later Super Smash Bros. R.
  • In some press releases, Saffron City was mistakenly labelled as a Super Smash Bros. Melee stage.
  • Before Shulk and Little Mac were revealed, Riki was revealed to be a returning Assist Trophy and Glass Joe was revealed as a new assist. See Super Smash Bros. Rebirth/ Assist Trophies and Pokémon for these two characters.
