The '''minus button''' (or '''- button''') refers to the small button on the left side of the [[Wii Remote]], [[Classic Controller]], the button on the right side of the [[Wii U GamePad]] and [[Wii U Pro Controller]], or the dark gray button on the left side of the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Joy-Con]] and [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller|Pro Controller]]. On the Wii Remote, Classic Controller, Wii U GamePad, and Wii U Pro Controller, the button is the color of the controller shell.
The '''minus button''' (or '''- button''') refers to the small, white button on the left side of the [[Wii Remote]], [[Classic Controller]], the button on the right side of the [[Wii U GamePad]] and [[Wii U Pro Controller]], or the dark gray button on the left side of the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Joy-Con]] and [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller|Pro Controller]]. On the Classic Controller, Wii U GamePad, and Wii U Pro Controller, it is referred to as the Select button.


==Overview==
When playing ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' with the Wii Remote and [[Nunchuk]], the - Button has absolutely no function. However, when playing with the Wii Remote held sideways, the minus button can be used to grab.
The minus button often has the word "select" under it, as it is frequently used to select options. When using a horizontal Wii Remote in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and {{forwiiu}}, the minus button is used to grab. When using the left Joy-Con horizontally in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the minus button acts as the equivalent to the [[Plus button]]. The only function of the minus button on other controllers is selecting a random stage on the Stage selection screen in ''Ultimate'' (which is shared with the [[Plus button]]).


[[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 minus button can be used in ''Ultimate''.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the minus button returns on the Wii U GamePad, still doing nothing. It can still be used to grab with the Wii Remote held sideways.
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', when using Joy-Con (L) as a single Joy-Con held horizontally, the minus button will act like a plus button, allowing [[pause|pausing]].
