B button

Line 8:

In the default controller layouts of all installments in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, the B button is used mostly for executing special attacks. This includes [[Neutral special]], [[Side special]], [[Up special]], [[Down special]], [[Final Smash]] and some [[Command-input move]]s. Outside of gameplay, the B button is also the standard "back" button when navigating menus.

When playing with the Wii Remote held sideways, the [[1 button]] acts as a substitute for the B button, performing special moves, whereas the actual B button is used to [[shield]] the character with default controls. When using Joy-Con (R) as a single Joy-Con held horizontally, the B button will become the left button, acting like a Y button and performing jumps.

''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' introduced the [[controls]] menu option introduced in this game allows non-default actions to be mapped to the B button. This option has returned in every subsequant ''Smash'' release. While not directly related, [[Nintendo Switch]] hardware version 10.0.0 introduced the ability to map the functionality of any button to any other button from the console options menu, further diversifying how the B button can be used.
