The '''Y button''' refers to the grey, kidney-shaped button on the right side of the [[GameCube controller]], the small button on the right side of the [[Classic Controller]], [[Wii U Pro Controller]], [[Wii U GamePad]], and [[Nintendo 3DS]] (varies in color on 3DS, matches the color of the Wii Classic Controller, Wii U GamePad and Wii U Pro Controller), or the dark gray button on the right [[Joy-Con]] and [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller]]. The color of the Y button varies on the 3DS and matches the color of the shell on the Classic Controller, Wii U GamePad, and the Wii U Pro Controller.
The '''Y button''' refers to the grey, kidney-shaped button on the right side of the GameCube controller or the small button varying in color on the right side of the [[Classic controller]], [[Wii U Pro Controller]], [[Wii U GamePad]], and [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Like the [[X button]], it is used for [[jump]]ing for the all games of the ''Smash Bros.'' series (including ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' for [[Virtual Console]]).


==Overview==
Due to the [[Nintendo 64 controller]] not having a Y button, there is no function for it in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' However, its [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console]] re-release made it compatible with controllers that have a Y button, mapping it to the [[C button]]s (used for [[jump]]ing). In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Y button is primarily used for [[jumping]], a function it typically shares with the [[X button]]. When using the right Joy-Con by itself held horizontally, the Y button will become the right button, acting like an X button and performing jumps, while the Y button's typical functionalities are given to the [[B button]].
In ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'', and ''Ultimate'', the Y button can be customized in the [[controls]] menu to perform other functions. [[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 Y button can be used in ''Ultimate''.
