'''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 allows for considerable modifications to Wii 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. Instead, the player must input hacks directly into the game for them to take effect. Regardless, USB Gecko is still commonly used by ''Brawl'' players who yearn to play the game with fewer limitations; the ability to create one's own cheats with the device also makes it a common pick for modders.  


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''.
The manufacturer of USB Gecko later stopped production and distribution of the device, for reasons that were not clarified; the device, however, can still be purchased secondhand.
