The '''control stick''' is the grey stick on the Nintendo [[Gamecube]] and [[Nintendo 64]] [[controllers]], the white stick on the [[Nunchuk]] controller, or the two white sticks on the [[Classic Controller]].
The '''control stick''', also known as the '''analogue stick''' is the grey stick on the Nintendo [[GameCube]] and [[Nintendo 64]] [[controller]]s, the white stick on the [[Nunchuk]], or the two white sticks on the [[Classic Controller]].


In the [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros. series]], the main control stick positions the player needs to know are up, down, forward and backward. Forward is the direction the character is facing on-screen, and backward is just the opposite. The control stick can also be smashed to achieve various effects such as [[dashing]] and [[smash attack]]s. When handling the [[Wii remote]] in [[NES]] Style, the [[directional pad]] serves as the control stick as there's no control stick on the Wii remote alone.
In the [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros. series]], the control stick has four primary directions that can be input. During gameplay, tilting the control stick sideways will make a [[character]] walk in that direction. Tilting the control stick downward will make a character [[crouch]], or [[fast-fall]] if the character is airborne. Tilting the control stick upwards will cause a character to [[jump]], but only if the Tap Jump control function is enabled. The control stick can also be directed at perpendicular and diagonal angles, which will allow for more precise movement in the air, and will allow some [[attack]]s to be [[Angling|angled]]. Outside of gameplay, the control stick can be used to navigate the [[menu]].
 
The control stick can also be 'smashed' to achieve various effects such as [[dashing]], [[smash attack]]s and making certain special moves more powerful. When handling the [[Wii remote]] sideways, the [[directional pad]] serves as the control stick, as there are no control sticks on the Wii remote alone.
