| The '''A button''' is one of the buttons on each controller where it is present. On the [[Nintendo 64 controller]] it is blue, on the Nintendo [[GameCube controller]] it is an aqua-green, on both the [[Wii Remote]] and [[Classic Controller]] it is transparent with a white backing, and on both the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Joy-Con]] and [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller|Pro Controller]] it is dark gray. The color of the button on the [[Wii U GamePad]] and [[Wii U Pro Controller]] matches the color of the controller, while it varies on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. | | The '''A button''' ("a button" on the [[Classic Controller]]) is one of the larger buttons on each remote where it is present. On the Nintendo 64 controller it is blue, on the Nintendo GameCube controller it is teal, and on both the [[Wii remote]] and Classic Controller it is transparent. In all three installments of ''[[Super Smash Bros. (universe)|Super Smash Bros.]]'', the A Button is used mostly for executing [[smash attack]]s. When playing with the Wii remote held sideways however, the A Button is used for [[taunt]]s, and when playing with the Classic Controller, the A Button is used for [[special move]]s. |

| In the default controller layouts of all installments in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, the A button is used mostly for executing standard attacks. This includes [[Neutral attack]], all [[Tilt attack]]s, [[Dash attack]], all standard [[Aerial attack]]s, all [[Smash attack]]s (in conjunction with the [[control stick]]), [[Pummel]], [[Floor attack]], [[Edge attack]], and some [[Command-input move]]s. Outside of gameplay, the A button is also the standard "confirm" button when navigating menus.

| When playing with the Wii Remote held sideways, the [[2 button]] acts as a substitute for the A button, performing smash attacks (when pressed with the [[D-pad]] or the [[1 button]]) and confirming selections on menus, whereas the actual A button is used for [[taunt]]s. When using Joy-Con (R) as a single Joy-Con held horizontally, the A button will become the bottom button, acting like a [[B button]] and performing special attacks, while the A button's menu and battle functionalities are given to the [[X button]].

| ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' introduced the [[controls]] menu option introduced in this game allows non-default actions to be mapped to the A button. This option has returned in every subsequant ''Smash'' release. While not directly related, [[Nintendo Switch]] hardware version 10.0.0 introduced the ability to map the functionality of any button to any other button from the console options menu, further diversifying how the A button can be used in ''Ultimate''.
