What controls do you use for SMBX?

[DarkShadeX]

I'm surprised I'm one of the few people who use an Xbox controller to play SMBX...

Run: X
Jump: A
Alt Run: Y
Alt Jump: B
Pause: Start
Drop Item: Select

My brother's controller is set up the same way, but the chances of him wanting to play SMBX are 1 out of 600,000

^^
I have the same Config for my Xbox controller.

[Valtteri]

I use a Wiimote with a Classic Controller. And my keyboard set-up is

A for dash
S for alt dash
Z for jump
X for alt jump

I'm most comfortable with that set-up because I used to play a SNES emulator before SMBX and it had those default keys. Another reason is that the default controls of SMBX don't work on any PC I use. Pressing Z, X and the Left Arrow key will cancel the Z key and that makes performing a left running jump impossible.

[FanofSMBX]

I use
Jump: X
Alt Jump: S
Run: Z
Alt Run: A
Drop Item: Space Bar

I have the same problem. On my old laptop, I could play like that but I got a new one because the old one got fried.

Sometimes when I'm too lazy to plug in my Gamecube controller I use this as a alternative:

Use WSAD for arrow keys.

U for alt run

I for alt jump(spin)

Arrow Keys for Movement

Alt Run - M

Drop Item - L
Pause is either P or 1, can't remember which.

[Sewpah]

My Keyboard Controls are:

A- Jump
S- Run
E- Alt Jump
R- Alt Run
Enter- Pause

I might change the jump and run controls to the HJKL format in the future.

[Anphiba]

No super white yoshi. I use an xbox controller as well.
My controls are:
Player 1 & 2: Joystick 1 & 2 (Afterglow Xbox 360 Controller)
Jump - Button 0 (A)
Run - Button 2 (X)
Spin Jump - Button 6 (Right Bumper)
Statue/Alt Run - Button 4 (Left Bumper)
Pause - Button 7 (Start... Duh)
Reserve - Button 3 (Y)
This is my Setting for all players. (Because I have more controllers)
I rarely use the keyboard anymore.
Let me tell you that if you play SMBX, you'd probably like a controller.
It feels great with the game. But, there are some people that like the keyboard more.

[RubberParasite]

My controls:
Player 1 & 2 = Keyboard

Player 1 controls:
Up = Up
Down = Down
Left = Left
Right = Right
Jump = Z
Run = X
Alt Jump = V
Alt Run = C
Reserve = Right Shift

Player 1 when there is player 2 =
Jump = M
Run = N
Alt Run = B
Then everything for player 1 is the same

Player 2=
Up = W
Down = S
Left = A
Right = D
Jump = F
Run = G
Alt Jump = R
Alt Run = T
Reserve = Q

[icemario12]

My configuration might sound a bit obscure:

Movement: Arrow Keys
Jump: A
Run: S
Alt. Jump: D
Alt. Run: Q
Pause: Enter
Drop Item: Spacebar

[Dream]

^ I use practically the same config, just changing Q to W and Spacebar to Right Shift.

Move - Arrow Keys
Jump - A
Run - S
Alt Jump - D
Alt Run - W
Pause - Enter
Drop Item - Right Shift

Generally I use the joysticks to play

[Sylvean]

I personnally use a Logitech Dual Action Joystick to play on SMBX. I think it's better.

That particular joystick is actually really bad for 2D games - The D-Pad is designed so you HAVE to go diagonally (vertical and horizontal work, but it's incredibly sensitive to going diagonal.
Using the sticks works though.

[SilverDeoxys563]

So I was thinking yesterday when I went to Best Buy, what if someone plugged in a Gamecube controller adapter since it's USB? Would it work?

I'm pretty sure SMBX will recognize all USB joysticks.
