==Overview==
The '''X button''' refers to the grey, cashew-shaped button on the right side of the [[GameCube controller]], the top button of the [[Classic Controller]], [[Nintendo 3DS]], [[Wii U GamePad]], and [[Wii U Pro Controller]] (varies in color on 3DS, matches the color of the Classic Controller, Wii U GamePad and Wii U Pro Controller), and the top dark gray on both the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s [[Joy-Con]] and [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller|Pro Controller]]. It is used for [[jump]]ing while fighting. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Brawl]]'', and ''[[Smash 4]]'', it also changes the [[palette swap]] on the character selection screen. The [[Nintendo 64 controller]], [[Wii Remote]], and [[Nunchuk]] do not have a X button. It also appears on the Wii U GamePad and Nintendo 3DS for both installations of ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. When using Joy-Con (R) as a single Joy-Con held horizontally, the X button will become the right button, acting like an [[A button]] and performing standard attacks, while the X button's menu and battle functionalities are given to the [[Y button]].
Due to the [[Nintendo 64 controller]] not having an X button, there is no function for it in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. However, its [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console]] re-release made it compatible with controllers that have an X button, mapping it to the [[C button]]s (used for [[jump]]ing). In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the X button is primarily used for [[jumping]], a function it typically shares with the [[Y button]]. In ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Smash 4'', it also changes the [[palette swap]] on the character selection screen. When using the right Joy-Con by itself held horizontally, the X button will become the right button, acting like an [[A button]] and performing standard attacks, while the X button's typical functionalities are given to the [[Y button]].
 
In ''Brawl'', and ''Smash 4'', and ''Ultimate'', the X button can be customized in the [[controls]] menu to perform other functions. [[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 X button can be used in ''Ultimate''.
