Controls

This article or section may require a cleanup. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Under the Options menu, there is a menu named "Controls". Upon entering this menu, it's possible to select one of the custom names or enter a new name. Once a name is selected,there is the option to edit the controls for any of the four control schemes (Wii Remote, Wii Remote and Nunchuk, GameCube controller and a Virtual Console controller). For example, if the player wants to set Y to be a shield button rather than a jump button, all that the player will have to do is select the Y button and set it to "shield". If the control scheme that is edited is the same type of controller used during the edit, the START/PAUSE (or +) can be pressed, which cannot be altered, to bring up a test area where Mario can be controlled on a completely flat stage to test out new controls. Once the control editing is complete, the controls can be saved to the custom name that is selected. Then, whenever that name is selected in a match, the controls will become customized to how they're set.

• Note: when brawling online in a With Anyone match, no name will not appear onscreen, but selecting a custom name on the character selection screen will still load the custom controls.

Custom controls are used to perform many different techniques that would be more difficult or impossible to do otherwise. For example, B-Sticking is required to perform Lucas's Wavebounce and his Magnet Pull.
