Trivia

 * Rash was originally planned to have a more elaborate mechanic involving his Smash Hits, but they were made into standard moves due to Faz being unsure of which approach to take.
 * The original plan was to give Rash a meter which filled up as he dealt damage to opponents, with a full meter giving him temporary access to Smash Hits in the form of alternate strong attacks, which would have dealt more damage and knockback.
 * Rash originally had more Smash Hits ripped from the Battletoads series, but some of them were replaced with original moves to have more fun with Rash's morphing nature.
