According to series director [[Masahiro Sakurai]], before the [[Ice Climbers]] were chosen to represent the "retro" gaming era, Bubbles was considered as one of the five characters before the Ice Climbers were confirmed, with the others being {{wp|Urban Champion}}, Balloon Fighter from ''{{wp|Balloon Fight}}'', an ''{{wp|Excitebike}}'' racer, and Ayumi Tachibana from the ''{{wp|Famicom Detective Club}}'' series. Sakurai cut Bubbles because he did not know how she would fight.<ref>Soma (April 29, 2016). [http://sourcegaming.info/2016/04/29/duflupdate/ The Definitive Unused Fighters List in Smash].
