(Undid edit by Gligar2007: no, this is really clunky. since it already says "held horizontally" you don't have to have to use the relative terms for when it's held vertically.) Tag: Undo |

In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', it serves no purpose other than menu navigation. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', it continues to function as menu navigation, but also has a number of other uses. Pressing up during a fight will make the player's character [[taunt]]. The d-pad is also used for activating Fox and Falco's [[Smash Taunt|secret taunts]] and [[Samus's Extended Grapple]]. In [[Camera Mode]] and the Trophy Gallery, the d-pad can be used to move the camera. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', it takes the role of the [[control stick]] when played on a Wiimote, and reprises its role of taunts for any other controller. When using the Wii Remote with the [[Nunchuk]], pressing up will make the character [[jump]], while pressing sideways will make the character [[grab]] in specified direction, and pressing down will let the character [[shield]]. In {{for3ds}}, it once again takes the role of being used for the character's taunt, whereas in {{forwiiu}}, any controller reprises its role for taunts. In [[Ultimate]], the d-pad buttons are set to [[Taunts]] by default, but can be set to all other actions ([[Attack]], [[Special]], [[Jump]], [[Shield]] and [[Grab]]). | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', it serves no purpose other than menu navigation.
