[[Image:B button.PNG|thumb|300px|left|The '''B button''' on various controllers. From left to right: N64, NGC, Wiimote, CC]]The '''B button''' is the small, red button on the Nintendo [[GameCube controller]], the large, green button on the [[Nintendo 64 controller]], the rectangular trigger on the back of the [[Wii remote]], or the small, clear button towards the bottom right of the [[Classic Controller]]. It is used to activate [[special move]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros Melee]]''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]],'' controls and control settings can be changed. By default though, when using the [[Nunchuk]], Classic, or GameCube control schemes, the B button activates special moves as well. With the Wii remote alone though, the [[1 Button]] acts as its B button, performing special moves, whereas the actual B button is used to [[shield]] the character.

The '''B button''' is either the large, green button on the [[Nintendo 64 controller]], the small, red button on the Nintendo [[GameCube controller]], the rectangular trigger button on the back of the [[Wii Remote]], the clear button towards the bottom right of the [[Classic Controller]], the circular button on the [[Wii U GamePad]], [[Wii U Pro Controller]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] (varies in color on 3DS, matches the color of the Wii Remote, Wii U GamePad and Wii U Pro Controller), or the bottom dark gray face button on the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s right [[Joy-Con]] and [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller|Pro Controller]].  
 
==Overview==
In the default controller layouts of all installments in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, the B button is used mostly for executing special attacks. This includes [[Neutral special]], [[Side special]], [[Up special]], [[Down special]], [[Final Smash]] and some [[Command-input move]]s. Outside of gameplay, the B button is also the standard "back" button when navigating menus.
 
When playing with the Wii Remote held sideways, the [[1 button]] acts as a substitute for the B button, performing special moves, whereas the actual B button is used to [[shield]] the character with default controls. When using Joy-Con (R) as a single Joy-Con held horizontally, the B button will become the left button, acting like a [[Y button]] and performing jumps, while the B button's menu and battle functionalities are given to the [[A button]].
 
''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' introduced the [[controls]] menu option introduced in this game allows non-default actions to be mapped to the B 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 B button can be used in ''Ultimate''.
