The Smash Box controller offers a radically unique button layout compared to any other controller. Instead of being a standard, two-handled controller, the Smash Box instead has an {{s|wikipedia|Arcade controller}} form factor. It notably lacks an analog stick of any sort, and instead, all of its functions are handled by individual buttons. Intended as a replacement to the Nintendo GameCube controller, the SmashBox is currently very niche, though a number of smashers, including {{Sm|Hax$}}, have attempted to promote it, as it is thought to be more durable and it places less stress and fatigue on the player's hands and wrists. The Smash Box has been controversial in tournaments, and it has been banned at some tournaments due to concerns over how much more powerful it could be compared to a regular controller.

The tournament legality of the Smash Box has been controversial, and it has been banned at some tournaments due to concerns over how much more powerful it could theoretically perform compared to a regular controller.
