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.

'''USB Gecko''' is a cheat device for the [[Wii]] that allows for considerable modifications to Wii games. It works by loading a custom operating system onto the Wii, after which codes can be input for specific games. Contrary to popular belief, the use of USB Gecko is not completely identical in function in ''Brawl'' in comparison to [[Action Replay]], due to ''Brawl''{{'}}s lack of a dedicated [[debug menu]]. Production of the device ended in 2010 for unknown reasons.
'''USB Gecko''' is a cheat device for the Wii that is similar to the [[Action Replay]]. The USB Gecko's effects have been chronicled throughout videos and pictures alike, and has thus become popular. However, playing as an unplayable character or playing on an unplayable stage makes the game freeze. This is one of few differences between it and the Action Replay.


Initially a popular choice for users who wished to modify ''Brawl'', advances in the hacking scene for the Wii and for ''Brawl'' have caused the device to become antiquated. The default OS loaded by USB Gecko, Gecko OS, was later made usable without the device, and it can potentially be loaded with the [[Smash Stack]] exploit or with [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Channel The Homebrew Channel]. A variety of alternatives are also available to Gecko OS, such as [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/WiiLauncher WiiLauncher]. Outside of the console itself, [[Dolphin]] offers a variety of built-in hacking options for ''Brawl''.

==Trivia==
* Shippiddge will use the USB Gecko for his 2nd season of [[Smashtasm]]. He has already used the Gecko in one of his "Smashtasm Extras", titled "Talking to Yourself", where he uses it to make two Marios (both the same color, rather than one being a lighter shade) and a [[False Character|"Shadow" Mario]].
