The grey stick on the Nintendo Gamecube controller.
In SSBM, the main control stick positions you need to know are up, down, forward and backward. Forward is the direction your 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 Attacks. Smashing simply consists of moving the control stick in a direction really really quickly.
