The GameCube controller can also be used as one of the four options of playing ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. This option was made for people accustomed to ''Melee's'' controls. The release of ''Super Smash Bros.'' for the Virtual Console also added the ability to play the game with the GameCube controller. In addition to a standard wired model, a wireless version was released called the "Wavebird"; though identical in function, it did not have the rumble capabilities of the original GameCube controller due to battery life concerns.

GameCube controllers were discontinued in North America and PAL regions shortly after the release of the Wii; however, Nintendo of America continues to sell the Platinum controller on its website and third party options are available as well. In April 2008, Nintendo released a white GameCube controller exclusive to Japan.

. This revision has attained a modest amount of users in the tournament scene, particularly by Japanese players such as {{Sm|Otori}}, and despite its relative difficulty to procure in the United States, some smashers use it as well, such as {{Sm|Nairo}}

Within ''Brawl'' tournaments, the GameCube controller is by far the most popular option, due to the still-strong tournament scene of ''Melee'', the high amount of ''Melee'' veterans who have since moved to ''Brawl'', and most players having the opinion of the GameCube controller being the best controller for ''Smash''. Additionally, GameCube controllers do not bring the wireless issues the other available controller types bring, do not carry potential battery issues, are overall simpler to manage (other controller types require batteries and additional attachments), and connecting GameCube controllers to a [[Wii]] is considerably simpler and faster than syncing Wii remotes.

The Wii remote is used on its side, much like an NES controller. In ''Brawl'' tournaments, this controller is rarely, if ever used, due to having severe limitations not present in other controllers. Besides having significantly less available buttons and lacking an analog stick to move with, this controller lacks a [[c-stick]] equivalent, [[jump]]ing cannot be relegated to another option other than up on the [[d-pad]] (which limits one's aerial mobility and efficiency at performing aerials), [[up tilt]]s cannot be performed without doing another input previously while holding up on the d-pad (pressing up and attack before jumping will produce an [[up smash]]), angling [[forward tilt]]s and shifting the position of one's [[shield]] are impossible, special moves with directional control are harder to maneuver (e.g. [[Fire Fox]], [[PK Thunder]]), and it is impossible to perform [[DACUS]].
