The '''Nintendo 64 controller''' is the default  controller for the [[Nintendo 64]]. It can be used to play ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' The controller has a unique M-shape, as [[Nintendo]] did not know if the use of analog sticks would become widespread. A majority of the Nintendo 64's games require players to grip their left hand on the middle handle and their right hand on the right handle, including ''Super Smash Bros.'' Some games, however, did allow players to hold the controller's left and right prongs to control the game, such as ''Dr. Mario'' and ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''. The third option is to hold the left handle with the left hand and the middle handle with the right hand, although this was never implemented for any games.

Two official add-ons were released for the controller: the [[rumble]] pack, which ''Super Smash Bros.'' utilizes, and the controller pack, which could save data for some games like Quest 64.
