Control Pad (Master System)

The SMS Control Pad (Product No. 3020) is the joypad which comes packaged with SMS systems. Resembling the 1st generation NES pads, three versions exist:

1. Three button/mini-joystick. Once the thumbpad button cap was removed, a small "thumbstick" could be inserted.
2. Three button. The third button sits recessed in the center of the thumbpad. The button has no function during gameplay.
3. Two button. The thumbpad button as been entirely removed. This version is most commonly associated with the SMS II when it was introduced.
