Hori Mini Pad: Difference between revisions
(An article for this was created five years ago, but I felt it was judged too quickly. The Mini Pad is a pretty large part of the Smash 64 scene used by several top players, so I can't really see a reason why we *shouldn't* have an article for it.) |

The Hori Mini Pad (also sometimes referred to as the Hori Pad Mini) is a third party Nintendo 64 controller that was developed by Hori late in the Nintendo 64's lifespan, exclusively in Japan, in several color variants. Unlike the first party controller, the Mini Pad comes with two Z buttons as opposed to one, and as such, two Z buttons are allowed on custom button layouts. Due to its Japanese exclusivity, the controller has become an incredibly rare find and is highly sought after due to its high quality for a third party controller. As such, it rarely appears in secondhand markets, and is typically sold for much higher than its original price.
Tournament significance
The Hori Mini Pad, due to its more conveniently-shaped and high quality design, is considered the tournament standard and is preferred by several top Super Smash Bros. smashers, including Revan, Tacos, and EmmiZhang, for its ease of Smash DI, taunt cancels, and pivoting. Because of its rarity and popularity, several third party companies have made attempts to create similar controllers to the Hori Mini Pad, but none have reached the same level of popularity as the Mini Pad.
