This was the first controller to be used in ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'' and is one of two official controllers along with the Japan-only release, the Hori Mini Pad; or Hori for short. Compatible with the Nintendo 64, these two controllers see the most use in tournaments in ''Smash 64'' with the original controller being more common. This is partially due to preference and also since Horis tend to be expensive as they need to be imported. Many players however also use a variety of other types of controllers such as GameCube, Xbox, and even [[keyboard play|keyboard]]. The scene is in general open to any alternative as long as the controller has no macros and only as many buttons as a Hori compared to. | This was the first controller to be used in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and is one of two official controllers along with the Japan-only release, the Hori Mini Pad; or Hori for short.

These alternatives, however, are not common in certain countries with top scenes like Japan where alternative controllers were banned as part of their ruleset and Peru. Due to its infamous analog stick, many players find it uncomfortable to use for long periods of time. Also, as they break down under stress and range issues due to overuse, multiple players in the community have created alternative for range such as the "{{sm|Derek}} Stick" and by making hybrids with alternative sticks such as the aforementioned Gamecube or "Lodge Net," a hotel exclusive controller. Members have even made alternative stick materials such as the "steel stick." | These alternatives, however, are not common in certain countries with top scenes like Japan where alternative controllers were banned as part of their ruleset and Peru.
