The BOSS is an accessory for the Wii Remote. It can be put on your Wii Remote. It not only makes the controller ''look ''like a Classic Controller, but it makes playing Brawl (which includes [[Olimar]]) easier when it comes to smash attacks. It also makes playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii, an unrelated game, easier since the controls aren't as confusing.

One thing that must be pointed out is the BOSS is merely a shell for your remote. Brawl will still recognize it as a Wii Remote, not as a Classic Controller.

You also cannot use the Nunchuk with the BOSS on, since it covers the Nunchuk's connection port.
