7.Both Villager and Mii characters were deemed inappropriate for inclusion in a fighting game, despite later appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Smash 4.
8. Peach's Melee down-smash is one of the highest damaging single smash-attack in the entire series, fetching 65% in this tournament match. This is because crouching sucks an opponent deeper into the attack.

12. Marth and Roy were nearly cut from the American version of Super Smash Bros. Melee, because no Fire Emblem games had yet been released in the states. Ironically, the inclusion of the two characters increased the popularity of the series and led to more localizations.
13. In the English version of Melee, Mewtwo only speaks in grunts, but in the Japanese version, he speaks in full sentences during his victory poses, saying things like "why am I here?"

17. Both Sonic and Snake were considered for Melee, but were not included due to time constraints. They were later included in Brawl.
18. There is speculation that the Pikachu in Brawl is actually the Pichu from Melee. Pikachu's Final Smash is Volt Tackle, which can only be learned from a Pichu pre-evolution. It also wears the blue goggles that Pichu wore in the previous games.
19. The prototype of the original Super Smash Bros. was called Dragon King: The Fighting Game and did not feature any Nintendo characters.
20. There are textures of a damaged Hylian Shield, a scratched Meta Knight's mask and a cracked Captain Falcon's helmet left in Brawl, which implies that battle damage was once intended to be a feature in the game.
21. Ice Climbers were included in Melee because Sakurai considered them the best fit for Smash from a classic NES game. However, other characters from that era were considered, like Balloon Fighter, Urban Champion, Excitebike and Bubbles (from Clu Clu Land).

27. Kirby's bio in the original Super Smash Bros. states he is only 8-inches tall.
28. There are sound-files in Super Smash Bros. of Ness saying "PK Starstorm!", which is his Final Smash in future games. Final Smash attacks were planned for the original game but could not be implemented due to technical limitations. They were finally introduced in Brawl.
29. In the Japanese version of Super Smash Bros., hitting an opponent produces real punching sounds. This was changed to the more cartoonish sounds heard in the American release.
