Controller setup

Raw button number test

Connect your controller (an NES or Game Boy pad, or any USB or Bluetooth gamepad), then press any button to let the browser detect it. A jumps and B attacks, as on the NES and Game Boy. If a button does something else, choose Set up controls and press each one as asked.
