| The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
| When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Cosmetic mods focus on changing the physical appearance of the controller, such as by recoloring the casing or merging two different shells together to form a two-toned controller. Although rarer, other methods of cosmetic changes can also involve placing LEDs into the casing or changing the physical appearance of individual buttons. | Cosmetic mods focus on changing the physical appearance of the controller, such as by recoloring the casing or merging two different shells together to form a two-toned controller.

Functional mods involve physically altering aspects of the controller, as to improve its function. | Functional mods involve physically altering aspects of the controller, as to improve its function. Common functional mods include changing either the analog sticks, triggers, or the individual buttons. For the analog sticks, common mods focus on replacing worn-down sticks; while most players generally replace analog sticks with those from identical models, combining two different controllers is not an uncommon practice, and those from non-Nintendo controllers, such as {{iw|wikipedia|DualShock}} controllers, can be featured. In addition, ''Brawl'', ''Project M'', ''Smash Wii U'', and ''Ultimate'' players can choose to remove the springs from the L and R due to the games not recognizing light button presses; ''Melee'' players also sometimes alter the length of the springs, as to allow for less resistance to press down the triggers. Severing the [[rumble]] motor from the controller, thus decreasing controller weight and preventing the need to constantly have to switch rumble off is also a popular choice. On the most extreme end of the spectrum, players will essentially design entirely different controllers from the ground to meet very specific needs, either to make a design optimized for a certain game and playstyle or to overcome restrictions caused by physical disabilities. | ||
While it is entirely feasible for someone to modify a controller themselves at home, doing so is typically not recommended to inexperienced users, especially with more complex modifications, due to the risks of damaging the controller. There is a market of professional modders that will modify on demand a user's controller for a monetary compensation. Certain modders also sell premade modified controllers online. | While it is entirely feasible for someone to modify a controller themselves at home, doing so is typically not recommended to inexperienced users, especially with more complex modifications, due to the risks of damaging the controller.
