D-Pad

The D-Pad refers to the grey, cross-shaped group of buttons on the left side of both the GameCube and Nintendo 64 controllers. In SSB, it serves no purpose other than menu navigation. In SSBM, it also functions as menu navigation, but also has several other uses. Pressing up during a fight will make your character taunt. The D-pad is also used for activating Fox and Falco's secret taunts and Samus' Super Grab. In Camera Mode and the Trophy Gallery, the D-Pad can be used to move the camera.
