Nintendo 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.

Trivia!

• Due to the Wii's ability to use GameCube controller input, all official GameCube controllers may be used on certain Wii games, for example Mario Kart Wii.
• The wireless Super Smash Bros Ultimate GameCube controller can also be used for games on the switch.
• If people are playing Super Mario Kart or Mario Kart 64 on the Wii Virtual Console and, it requires them to either use the Classic Controller or the GameCube Controller since the Wii Remote is useless for SNES and N64 games on the Virtual Console. Also, if they play Mario Kart: Double Dash on the Wii in backwards compatibility, it requires them to use the GameCube Controller since it is inappropriate to use the Wii Remote for GameCube games.
