Occasionally, the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games will have a subject with a name that differs from the one used in the ''EarthBound'' series. When this happens, the article will prioritize the name that is used in an ''EarthBound'' game instead of ''Smash''.


As an example, the [[Psycho Car]] in ''Smash'' uses the name '''Devil Car''', which is it's Japanese name. However, because it was localized as the Psycho Car in the official English translation of ''EarthBound Beginnings'', the article title prioritizes the name that is used in ''EarthBound'' (in this case, the Psycho Car instead of the name used in ''Smash'').
