 The GameCube controller can also be used as one of the four options of playing ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', via the Wii's built-in GameCube ports. The release of ''Super Smash Bros.'' for [[Virtual Console]] also added the ability to play the game with the GameCube controller, with the controls even slightly updated to make the controller manipulate the game more similarly to ''Melee''.
-While the Wii U and Nintendo Switch do not feature dedicated ports for the controllers, an adapter that plugs into two of the Wii U or Switch's various [[wikipedia:Universal Serial Bus|USB]] ports is produced by Nintendo, allowing for up to four controllers to be plugged in. As the Wii U features four USB ports, this allows for a maximum of eight GameCube controllers to be used for ''Smash 4''. The Nintendo Switch Dock has three USB ports, but two adapters can still be used. Cheaper third-party options that are functionally identical to the USB adapter are also available. Adapters on Switch occasionally have issues and will forcibly disconnect one or more players, despite never being unplugged, and this happens far more often on unofficial adapters, which don't know the exact power spec that the official adapters use and that the controllers expect. A number of even cheaper options are also available, as adapters that plug directly into the Wii Remote instead of the console, though most of these adapters cause the game to read the GameCube Controllers as Classic Controllers instead.

The Nintendo Switch Dock has three USB ports, but two adapters can still be used if the rumble USB cable is not plugged in. Third-party and community-made alternatives are also available, with popular examples being the Mayflash GameCube Adapter and the Lossless Adapter.
-Within tournaments for ''Brawl'', ''Project M'', ''Smash Wii U'', and ''Ultimate'', the GameCube controller is by far the most popular option, due to the still-strong tournament scene of ''Melee'' and most players having the opinion of the GameCube controller being the best controller for ''Smash''. Additionally, GameCube controllers do not have battery issues and they are considerably easier to connect to a [[Wii]], as they do not require devoted processes for syncing them to different consoles. The Wavebird, however, is generally banned at large events; the controller allows for only sixteen potential channels between it and its dongle, and a large number of such controllers being used at once can potentially lead to interference issues between different players at different setups. In addition, players could set their controller to the same channel as another player on purpose, to interfere with other players.
