The '''{{wp|GameCube|Nintendo GameCube}}''', or simply the '''GameCube''', is a home | The '''{{wp|GameCube|Nintendo GameCube}}''', or simply the '''GameCube''', is a home console system developed by [[Nintendo]] and released in late 2001 as the successor of the [[Nintendo 64]]. The Nintendo GameCube has six ports on its front: four controller ports (like the Nintendo 64) and two memory card ports. It has three buttons on top: Open, Reset, and Power. On the bottom are two serial ports and one high-speed port for add-on expansions. The Nintendo GameCube was released in five colors: Indigo, Black, Orange (outside of America), Silver (since 2003), and Gold, though indigo is the standard color, as shown from its few appearances in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] and other Nintendo media in general. The system uses proprietary 8 cm Game Discs based on the {{wp|MiniDVD}} format that are able to hold up to 1.5 GB (1,459,978,240 bytes), making it the first Nintendo console to use optical discs as the primary storage medium. | ||
During pre-production, the console was codenamed "Project Dolphin," a name alluded to in several early Nintendo GameCube games, such as ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', where its main setting, [[Isle Delfino]], is shaped like a dolphin. Since ''Super Mario Sunshine'' did not release alongside the Nintendo GameCube at launch, the Nintendo GameCube is the first Nintendo home console since the [[Family Computer]] to not have a game from the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] as a launch title. | During pre-production, the console was codenamed "Project Dolphin," a name alluded to in several early Nintendo GameCube games, such as ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', where its main setting, [[Isle Delfino]], is shaped like a dolphin.

The '''Game Boy Player''' is an add-on peripheral released in 2003 and allowing players to play [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Color]], and [[Game Boy Advance]] titles on their television screen through their Nintendo GameCube. Most ''Super Mario'' games across the three systems are compatible with the Game Boy Player. However, those with tilt functionality, including ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]'' and ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', are prohibitively difficult to play via the Game Boy Player due to the games using gyroscopes built into the cartridges, requiring the player to tilt the GameCube itself. The peripheral attaches to the bottom of the system, and requires a special disc in order to play any handheld titles. It is also capable of linking up to Game Boy systems and accessories, including the [[e-Reader]] and [[Game Boy Camera]], and players can connect their Game Boy Advance systems to the Nintendo GameCube by use of the Nintendo | The '''Game Boy Player''' is an add-on peripheral released in 2003 and allowing players to play [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Color]], and [[Game Boy Advance]] titles on their television screen through their Nintendo GameCube.

During gameplay, players can bring up a menu with the {{button|GCN|Z}} button that allows them to scroll through various options, including setting the screen size, changing the border surrounding the game, changing the button mapping for a Nintendo GameCube controller, changing the screen filter, and setting a timer. Players can also select to change the cartridge from this menu without turning off the system. | ||
