Editing Start button

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Start/Pause button}}
The '''Start/Pause Button''' (just called the '''Start Button''' on the [[Nintendo 64]] controller) refers to the small, gray button in the center of a [[GameCube]] controller, or the small, red button in the center of a Nintendo 64 controller. It is used on both consoles to [[pause]] most games, and select features in the menus. In [[SSBM]]'s trophy gallery, the Start/Pause Button is also used to change the background.

In addition, the [[Wii Remote]] or [[Classic Controller]]'s + Button can alternatively be called Start.

Players may repeatedly press the Start/Pause or + button to distract the other players, or to disrupt their combo timing, though is considered very rude.

In the [[Subspace Emissary]], player 2 can use this button to [[Space Jump]] instead of Pause.

+The '''Start/Pause Button''' (just called the '''Start Button''' on the [[Nintendo 64]] controller) refers to the small, gray button in the center of a [[GameCube]] controller, or the small, red button in the center of a Nintendo 64 controller.

-The '''Start button''' (also called the '''Start/Pause button''' on the [[GameCube controller]]) refers to the large red button in the center of a [[Nintendo 64 controller]], the small gray button in the center of a GameCube controller, or the small, rectangular pad to the bottom right of the touch screen of a [[Nintendo 3DS]], or the top circular button under the face buttons on any New Nintendo 3DS model. The start button matches the color of the shell of the 3DS. The counterpart to the start button in later games is the [[plus button]] on the [[Classic Controller]], [[Wii U GamePad]], [[Wii U Pro Controller]], [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller]] and right [[Joy-Con]], and the [[minus button]] on the left Joy-Con, which function identically to the start button.

-The start button can be pressed to [[pause]] any offline game. This action is removed during [[online]] games. While paused, the players can access the various options in the pause menu. However, pausing the game has some competitive implications and can constitute cheating. The option to turn off pausing exists, though this renders the pause button functionless during a match. In [[The Subspace Emissary]], player 2 can use this button to [[Space Jump]]. In ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'', it is used to [[share stock]]. Outside of gameplay, the start button is typically the "confirm" button in menus. The button is also used to change the background in the [[Trophy Gallery|trophy galleries]] throughout the series.
