On the [[Wii]] and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' by extension, the home button accesses the home menu, which allows players to pair up controllers, reset the game, or close the game and move to the Wii main menu. The ability to modify controllers is important in [[tournament]]s, as the use of wireless [[controller]]s requires players to resync and desync controllers to and from the console which is the same as ''Brawl''. the Home Button opens the Home Menu, which allows the player to either restart the game, go back to the Wii Menu, or to modify some settings of the Wii Remote; the lattermost property is important in [[tournament]]s, as the use of wireless [[controller]]s requires players to resync and desync controllers to and from the console. All of the mentioned featured apply retroactively to ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', as its Wii [[Virtual Console]] release is compatible with controllers with a home button. While ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and other [[GameCube]] software can be run on the Wii, the GameCube controller has no home button and thus the home screen can't be accessed this way. | ||
On the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Wii U]], pressing the Home Button again suspends software, but it now sends players to the standard Home Menu of either console; from here, it is possible to use some multitasking applications, as well as manually close the game. | On the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Wii U]], pressing the Home Button again suspends software, but it now sends players to the standard Home Menu of either console; from here, it is possible to use some multitasking applications, as well as manually close the game. | ||

On the Wii U, the Home Menu can be used to pair controllers such as [[Wii Remote]]s and enable or disable [[rumble]], view online or offline friends, access Miiverse and the Nintendo eShop, browse the Internet, see notifications, check on the status of downloads, and check the instruction manual of the software currently in use. In some regions, the Home menu also allowed players to view television shows, but this service was later discontinued. | On the Wii U, the Home Menu can be used to pair controllers such as [[Wii Remote]]s and enable or disable [[rumble]], view online or offline friends, access Miiverse and the Nintendo eShop, browse the Internet, see notifications, check on the status of downloads, and check the instruction manual of the software currently in use.

On the Nintendo Switch, pressing the Home Button suspends the software, and takes the player to the Switch's Home Menu. Unlike previous games, the Home Menu can be accessed at any time, even while online. Online modes in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash | On the Nintendo Switch, pressing the Home Button suspends the software, and takes the player to the Switch's Home Menu. Unlike previous games, the Home Menu can be accessed at any time, even while online. Online modes in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash'' 4 previously disabled the home button due to disrupting gameplay. Additionally, the player perform any action on the Switch while ''Ultimate'' is suspended if the action does not close a game. As of Nintendo Switch hardware version 8.0.0, quickly pressing the Home Button twice activates the Zoom feature. In this mode, pressing the [[X button]] with zoom in and pressing the [[Y button]] will zoom out. Players can adjust the position of the zoomed in screen by using the [[control stick]], and pressing the Home button once will lock the screen in its new orientation. Pressing the Home button again will allow the screen to be adjusted again. Quickly pressing the Home button twice again will cancel the mode and return the screen to normal, but the prior orientation will be saved for when it is used again. If the console is restarted, the zoom orientation will be reset. | ||
While the home button is one of the few buttons that cannot be remapped in the [[controls]] menu, 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 home button can be used in ''Ultimate''. | |||
