The Wii U GamePad comes with all Wii U consoles and uniquely features a touchscreen built into its casing. Although it primarily acts wirelessly, it can be directly connected to the Wii U console via a cable. The controller's button layout is similar to that of the Classic Controller Pro, though both the left and right analog sticks are above the d-pad and face buttons, respectively. Wii U GamePads are "tethered" to their original console, and cannot be synced to other consoles. The Wii U GamePad features compatibility with {{s|wikipedia|Near Field Communication}}, allowing for players to sync compatible devices to the controller. For ''Smash 4'', compatibility with NFC is featured with a line of ''Smash''-themed [[amiibo]] figurines. | The Wii U GamePad comes with all Wii U consoles and uniquely features a touchscreen built into its casing.

The Wii U Gamepad is fully compatible with ''Smash 4''. In most cases, the touchscreen on the device will show the same video as that of the console itself. Furthermore, the game's [[Stage Builder]] supports the creation of custom platforms via drawing them on the touchscreen. If the GamePad is not used to play an actual match, then [[damage percent]]ages of players are displayed on the unit; tapping the screen in this mode changes it to show the actual match in progress. The game also supports Off-TV Play, allowing players to potentially play the game without the need of an external television set. | The Wii U Gamepad is fully compatible with ''Smash 4''.

As only one GamePad can be used on a Wii U console, the controller is generally banned in ''Smash 4'' tournaments, as two players who prefer the GamePad would be unable to play under such a scenario. | As only one GamePad can be used on a Wii U console, the controller is generally banned in ''Smash 4'' tournaments, as two players who prefer the GamePad would be unable to play under such a scenario. | ||
