GameCube Controller

A standard indigo GameCube Controller.

The GameCube Controller is a controller used for the Nintendo GameCube, including the Mario Kart title of the console, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.

With eight buttons and two joysticks, its design seems to be based slightly on the Nintendo 64 controller, but has noticeably more controls and a new and improved wing grip design. The standard GameCube controller was usually indigo, but character and game-themed controllers were also released, such as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Super Smash Bros. Melee styled controllers.

This controller was bundled with all new GameCube systems throughout the game console's life cycle and was also available separately.
