-A '''Memory Card''' is a small device used to save data for games played on the [[Nintendo]] [[GameCube]].
+The '''GameCube Memory Card''' is a propriety flash-based memory device used to save data for games on the [[Nintendo]] [[GameCube]]. The cards are backward compatible on the [[Wii]], but they cannot be used to save data for its games. Nintendo released cards with three different capacities: 59 blocks (512 kilobytes), 251 blocks (2 megabytes), and 1019 blocks (8 megabytes). Some third-party manufacturers, however, released cards that were even larger in capacity.
-One needs a memory card in order to save the things they've accomplished or collected in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.  In addition, saving data from the game ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' on the same card as the player's ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' data will award them the [[Captain Olimar]] [[trophy]].
+==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
+The Gamecube memory card is necessary in order to save data of any sort in ''Melee'', including [[Records]], [[unlockable characters]], and other accomplishments; data itself is stored quite often, as a result, the manual for the game recommends against removing cards or shutting down the console before returning to the [[title screen]]. If no memory card is present, the game will warn the player of the fact, though the player can still play the game.
-''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' save data takes up 11 blocks on the memory card, while snapshots can vary from three to ten blocks each. ''Pikmin'' takes up 27 blocks.
+''Melee'' requires 11 cards for its save data, along with further blocks in order to save [[snapshots]]; the latter can require anywhere from 3 to 12 blocks of data depending on the complexity of the image.
+By default, ''Melee'' reads save data from Slot A only, though Snapshots can be viewed from either Slot A or B.
+===Compatibility with ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''===
+In a particularly unusual use of the memory card, players are rewarded the [[Captain Olimar]] [[trophy]] if they have save data from ''Pikmin'' on their memory card while loading up ''Melee''. ''Pikmin'' itself takes up 27 blocks on a memory card.
+===Compatibility with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
+Sme Wii games can read data from memory cards and utilise them for a variety of uses, such as ''[[fireemblemwiki:Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn|Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn]]''. Despite this, ''Brawl'' yields no bonuses if a memory card with ''Melee'' is inserted into the console.
