The '''Nintendo GameCube Controller''' is the system's standard controller. In addition to standard {{button|GCN|A}}, {{button|GCN|B}}, and {{button|GCN|Start}} buttons and a {{button|gcn|Stick}} control stick, the Nintendo GameCube is the first Nintendo system to include a second analog stick known as the {{button|GCN|C}} C-Stick, located on the bottom right side of the controller. This analog stick replaces the C-buttons found on a Nintendo 64 controller. The controller features analog triggers {{button|GCN|L}} {{button|GCN|R}} on the left and right sides of its back, and a single small shoulder button {{button|GCN|Z}} on the right. The controller features a built-in rumble motor, carried over from the Nintendo 64's [[Rumble Pak]] add-on. Unlike the Nintendo 64 controller, the GameCube Controller features {{button|GCN|X}} and {{button|GCN|Y}} buttons, as well as only two grips instead of three. The {{button|gcn|Pad}} directional pad on the Nintendo GameCube Controller has the same size and shape as the directional pad on the original [[Game Boy Advance]]. | The '''Nintendo GameCube Controller''' is the system's standard controller.

The '''Nintendo GameCube–Game Boy Advance Link Cable''' allows for a [[Game Boy Advance]] to be connected to the Nintendo GameCube, similar to the [[Transfer Pak]] released for the [[Nintendo 64]]. The cable can be used in numerous GameCube games to unlock special content, such as ''[[Wario World]]'', which utilizes the cable for sending microgames from ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' to the Game Boy Advance. The cable is also compatible with the [[Game Boy Player]], with which the Game Boy Advance can be used as a controller for Game Boy Advance games being played on the GameCube. | The '''Nintendo GameCube–Game Boy Advance Link Cable''' allows for a [[Game Boy Advance]] to be connected to the Nintendo GameCube, similar to the [[Transfer Pak]] released for the [[Nintendo 64]].

The '''Nintendo GameCube Microphone''' is a special accessory used for Nintendo GameCube games on the GameCube or a backwards-compatible [[Wii]]. It is unusual in that it is plugged into a [[Memory Card]] slot rather than a controller slot. It has been used in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' as a tool for playing Mic [[minigame]]s and making [[Mic Space]]s functional. As the Mic was intended to be used specifically with the GameCube, it is not compatible with any Wii games. | The '''Nintendo GameCube Microphone''' is a special accessory used for Nintendo GameCube games on the GameCube or a backwards-compatible [[Wii]].

The Nintendo GameCube has a few minor appearances in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. While a Nintendo GameCube does not actually appear in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', the [[Party Cube]] is a reference to the GameCube, and the rumble machine in the options screen is clearly based on the system. Additionally, a Nintendo GameCube can be seen inside the [[Orb hut]]s of ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. | |||
