Smash has deep in-game remapping, so almost any SWORL layout can work. The HarDe One reuses the Super Mario Odyssey profile and finishes the job in Smash's controls menu.

Key choices

• Grab on WASD: no natural spot existed on the right-hand bank, so grab moved to the left-hand cluster. Your right hand stays in one position for every input.
• Smash attacks: the SWORL's Attack + Special macro makes smash attacks easier than on a GameCube controller.
• Confirm/cancel stay in standard Xbox/PlayStation positions for menus.

Getting comfortable

Expect a couple of weeks to match your GameCube muscle memory, and experiment with left-stick sensitivity for walk vs. dash. The in-game control screen screenshot shows the exact Smash binds.

Switch Smash/Odyssey: Download sworl-switch-smash-odyssey.json

How to import a SWORL layout

1. Download the .json file above, or copy the code into a text file and save it with a .json extension.
2. Open the file in a text editor and change the "profile" value to the slot you want, minus one (Profile 1 = 0, Profile 5 = 4), so you don't overwrite an existing profile.
3. Open the SWORL configurator, connect your SWORL and import the file.
