Zelda
All Zelda games use the same controls as Twilight Princess on the Wii or Gamecube. You can also connect a Classic Controller to use similar controls to the Ocarina Of Time for the Virtual Console, but with the R trigger acting as the B button and an inventory like Twilight Princess. With nothing plugged in to the Wii Remote, your configured controls are used instead.
Warning: Be careful not to press the 2 button or the GameCube DPad left!

The Wii Zelda controls are:
Swing your Wii Remote to draw or swing your sword. Press A to put your sword away again. The 2 handed sword can't be drawn this way, and must be drawn manually from the items menu, but you can swing it like normal.
Shake your Nunchuk to do a spin attack.
Use the Z Button to Z-Target and to draw and use your shield. While Z-Targetting you will sidestep in some games. If you have a Gust Jar equipped instead of a shield, it will be used for Z-Targetting.
Use the A Button to perform an action, such as rolling, talking to people, reading signs, picking things up, throwing things, shrinking or growing, pulling things, etc. It will also put away your sword or shield. In Zelda 2, it will jump.
Use the C Button to fast forward. It was originally the camera button in Twilight Princess.
Press the B Button to use the currently selected item. 3 other items will be mapped to Left, Down, and Right D-Pad buttons. Swap the currently selected item with one of those items by pressing that D-Pad button. The three slots correspond to the first 3 slots in your inventory. In Minish Cap, the D-Pad buttons use the item directly instead of swapping it with the B Button, and the B Button is the same as the down button. In Minish Cap the left item is always the Kinstones and the down and right items correspond to the B and A slots.
Up on the D-Pad talks to Midna, or to your hat. It will take you to the save screen in Link's Awakening, or to the secondary items screen in the Oracle games.
The 1 Button goes to the Map screen. The - Button goes to the Items screen. The + Button goes to the Quest Status screen
On the Items screen, choose an item and then press either the B Button or the D-Pad button to move it to that slot. The change may not be visible until you go to another screen and back. In Link's Awakening you can toggle Bomb Arrows by choosing the bombs and pressing Z. It will rumble for a short time when bomb arrows are deactivated, and for a long time when bomb arrows are activated. You still need to equip the bow to use bomb arrows. In Minish Cap you should be able to use the IR pointer function to select items.
The Gamecube controller Zelda controls are:
B is the sword button. Use it to draw or swing your sword. Hold B for a spin attack. Press A to put the sword away again. The 2 handed sword can't be drawn this way, and must be selected manually from the items screen, but can be swung with this (or any other) button.
Use the L Trigger to L-Target and to draw and use your shield. While L-Targetting you will sidestep in some games. If you have a Gust Jar equipped instead of a shield, it will be used for L-Targetting.
Use the A Button to perform an action, such as rolling, talking to people, reading signs, picking things up, throwing things, shrinking or growing, etc. It will also put away your sword or shield. In Zelda 2, it will jump.
Use the R Trigger to pull on blocks or walls, or to lift things. You must have a bracelet or gloves to lift some objects. The bracelet or gloves will be equipped automatically. This feature is unique to the Gamecube controller.
Use the right analog stick to fast forward. It was originally the camera control in Twilight Princess.
Press the X or Y buttons to use the two equipped items. These two items both share the B slot, except in Minish Cap where one is in the A slot. The item that was not used last will be in the first slot in your inventory.
Right on the D-Pad takes you to the map. Up on the D-Pad takes you to the items screen. Start takes you to the quest status screen.
The Z trigger talks to Midna, or to your hat. It will take you to the save screen in Link's Awakening, or to the secondary items screen in the Oracle games.
The Classic controller Zelda controls are:
B is the sword button. Use it to draw or swing your sword. Hold B for a spin attack. Press A to put the sword away again. The 2 handed sword can't be drawn this way, and must be selected manually from the items screen, but can be swung with this (or any other) button.
Use the L Trigger to L-Target and to draw and use your shield. While L-Targetting you will sidestep in some games. If you have a Gust Jar equipped instead of a shield, it will be used for L-Targetting.
Use the A Button to perform an action, such as rolling, talking to people, reading signs, picking things up, throwing things, shrinking or growing, pulling, etc. It will also put away your sword or shield. In Zelda 2, it will jump.
Use the ZL Button to fast forward.
Press the R Button to use the currently selected item. 3 other items will be mapped to Left, Down, and Right on the right analog stick. They are also mapped to ZR, Y, and X. Swap the currently selected item with one of those items by pressing that button or direction. The three slots correspond to the first 3 slots in your inventory. In Minish Cap, the D-Pad buttons use the item directly instead of swapping it with the B Button, and the B Button is the same as the down button. In Minish Cap the left item is always the Kinstones and the down and right items correspond to the B and A slots.
+ (Start) takes you to the subscreens. - (Select) takes you to the map or changes subscreens.
Up on the analog stick talks to Midna, or to your hat.
Mario
All Mario or Yoshi games use the same controls as Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii. You can also connect a Classic Controller to use similar controls to Super Mario World on the SNES.

The Wii Mario controls are:
Shake the Wii Remote to do a spin attack, or to shoot fireballs when you are fire Mario. In some games that have a spin attack, you will need to use the B Button instead to shoot fireballs. You can also dismount Yoshi by shaking.
Walk by moving the joystick a little, run by moving the joystick a lot.
A = jump B = shoot, run, hold on to things, yoshi's tongue, etc. Z = crouch or lay egg. Press Z while in the air to butt stomp. C = camera. Hold C to look around with the joystick. D-Pad = look around, or walk in some games + = pause 1 = throw egg if you are Yoshi
The Classic Controller Mario controls are:
Walk by moving the joystick a little, run by moving the joystick a lot.
B = jump A = spin attack X/Y = shoot, run, hold on to things, yoshi's tongue, etc. ZL or sometimes L = crouch or lay egg. Press in the air to butt stomp. + = pause L/R sometimes look around
Yoshi's Universal Gravitation (Topsy Turvy)
The controls are the same as all other Mario or Yoshi games, except that tilting the Wii Remote tilts the world and the screen. This affects everything in the world and also how you move.
Metroid
All Metroid games use the same controls as Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on the Wii. Metroid Zero Mission also has controls from Metroid Prime on the Gamecube. You aim up and down by pointing the Wii Remote up and down.

Point your Wii Remote at the sky to quickly charge your Gun Del Sol. Point your Wii Remote at the ground to block the sunlight and prevent it from charging or overheating. Or hold it like normal to use it like normal.
Press Home to set the real life weather in the emulator's game menu. Note that if it is night time in real life, there will not be any sun, regardless of what you set the weather to. Please set the weather honestly or it spoils the fun. Note that maximum sun is not actually the best, since it rots fruit, and overheats your gun. The weather must be set each time you play, it is not saved.
Swing your Wii Remote to swing your sword or other weapon, if you have one.
WarioWare Twisted
WarioWare Twisted uses similar controls to the Gameboy game.
Note: Horizontal Wii Remote is tilted in a similar manner to the Handlebar form in Smooth Moves.

New Mortal Kombat Characters
New characters have been added to Mortal Kombat 3: Chameleon, Khameleon, Noob Saibot, Frost, Reptile, and Scorpion. The secret character Smoke can now be selected, as can boss Shao Khan. Sektor, Cyrax and Smoke now have human forms. Sub-Zero, Kano, and Kabal now have Cyborg forms. All these can be selected by pressing the Change Style button ( , , ) or the Select button ( ).

- Chameleon randomly changes between the colours of the male ninjas: Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Smoke, Ermac, Rain, Sektor, Cyrax, and Tremor. His moves are the same as Reptile's. Tremor is a Lin Kuei from the comics who I tried to add but failed.
- Khameleon randomly changes between the colours of the female ninjas: Kitana, Mileena, Jade, Tanya, Ruby, and Skarlet. Her moves are the same as Jade's.
- Tanya, Johnny Cage, Blaze, and Hornbuckle all share Liu Kang's moves.
- Hornbuckle is a character seen in the background of MK1 fighting Blaze.
- Frost has either Sub-Zero 1's or Sub-Zero 2's moves, depending on how you chose her.
- Ruby has the same moves as Ermac (she is a follower of Ermac's from the comics).
- Skarlet has the same moves as Kitana, and is a character rumoured to be in MK2.
- Shang Tsung can't morph into Rain or any of the added characters.
- MK3 Noob Saibot looks and moves like Kano.
- Classic Saibot looks like his former self Sub-Zero, but has his new Noob Saibot moves.
- Noob Sub-Zero has his new Noob Saibot look, but still has his classic Sub-Zero moves.
- Human Smoke and Cyborg Smoke have slightly different moves. Other cyborgs/humans keep their original moves.
- Currently only Rain keeps his correct sprites in all his forms when doing his special moves (but not when doing the ninja slap). Other characters temporarily revert to their original sprites to do a special move. That's because I was lazy.
- Some colour palettes are not perfect, sorry.
Lego Star Wars
Both Lego Star Wars games use the same controls as Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga for the Wii, and Lego Star Wars (and other Lego games) for the PC. But the two force powers controlled by the same button in those games are now controlled by two different buttons. So Z is now Z or -, and J is now J or I.
