'''Action Replay''', abbreviated '''AR''', is the brand name of a series of cheating devices created by Datel, primarily used for changing the behavior of video games and hacks. Currently, Action Replay is available for a number of consoles, including the [[Nintendo 64]], [[Nintendo GameCube]], [[Wii]], and [[Nintendo 3DS]], which feature games in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series.
'''Action Replay''' is the brand name of a series of cheating devices created by Datel, primarily used for changing the behavior of video games. Currently, Action Replay is available for a number of consoles including the [[Nintendo 64]] and [[Nintendo GameCube]] which feature games in the [[Super Smash Bros. (universe)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]; a version for the [[Wii]] has been released as well.

The version of Action Replay for the Nintendo 64 is inserted into the console's cartridge port. This version of Action Replay can be used to hack several features in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', such as the {{SSB|debug menu}}.

The version of Action Replay for the Nintendo GameCube attaches to the console's memory card slot, which, along with a separate disc, enables the player to access a debug menu, among other things. This version of Action Replay can be used to hack several features in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', including the debug mode, [[Unlockable character|unlocking characters]], infinite [[jump]]s, strange attacks variations, moveswapping (known for being very glitchy), and "super" codes which make attacks very fast. It can also be used to play with [[unplayable characters]] or on unplayable [[stage]]s. For example: the player can have [[Master Hand]] vs [[Crazy Hand]] vs [[Giga Bowser]] and also play in a 6 player match using the debug menu. The Gamecube debug menu has been used for [[TAS]] videos.

It can also be used to play with [[non-playable character]]s or on unplayable [[stage]]s. The GameCube debug menu has been used for [[TAS]] videos.


Initially compatible with the Wii, current system updates of the Wii do not allow Action Replay for the GameCube to work; as a result, most TAS videos are now operated on either an original GameCube, or through the use of an emulator such as [[Dolphin]].

==Nintendo Wii version==
The version of Action Replay for the Wii is currently scheduled to go on sale on August 15th. However, an alternative made by non-Datel people named [[USB Gecko]] has been released to the public as of now. The hacking features used in this are similar to Action Replay's, but do take note that playing as some unplayable characters (like the bosses) or playing some unplayable stages like the ones in the [[Subspace Emissary]] boss levels will freeze the game. For those who do not want to pay $50 for the USB Gecko,

there is an alternative where the only requirement is an [[SD Card]], the Homebrew Channel, and a subchannel of it named Gecko OS (not the same thing as USB Gecko).
A version of Action Replay, called Powersaves, was made available for the Wii in 2010, but later system updates for the console rendered it inoperable. Prior to the introduction of an updated model in 2012, hacking ''Brawl'' generally involved the use of [[USB Gecko]] or other hacks or hacking utilities that could be loaded via the [[Smash Stack]] exploit.
Nintendo, however, does not approve or support unofficial channels like this.{{fact}} It can possibly damage your Save Data if used in the wrong way.{{fact}} For those who want to take that risk it is recommended rather than pay $50 for the USB Gecko.  
 
==Nintendo 3DS version==
A Nintendo 3DS version of Action Replay, titled Action Replay Powersaves Pro, can be used to activate cheats and hacks for {{for3ds}}, though not currently to the same extent as ''Brawl'' or ''Melee''.
