key.bin is a general parameter file located in /dataDir/parms/. It is responsible for the mapping of inputs from controller port 1 to actions performable by Olimar.

Values for detecting controller input

The following are the values used to detect of individual controller inputs. Boxes left empty are invalid controller inputs

0x00000002 C-Stick right
0x00000004 C-Stick up
0x00000008 C-stick down

0x01000000 START button
0x02000000
0x04000000
0x08000000
0x10000000
0x20000000
0x40000000
0x80000000

Notes

Adding hexadecimal values together causes multiple buttons to be usable for a single action (i.e. 0x00016000 will make the B button, X button, and Z trigger all cause the same action). This suggests that the translation of controller input to in-game actions is done with bitwise operator masking.

The values in the table above match the values found at 0x80495d18 when controller input is given.

Parameter 0x08 only functions when set to the same button as parameter 0x00.

This file does not control:

  • Any menu navigation whatsoever
  • The radar screen (Y Button)
  • Moving Olimar (Control Stick)
  • Swarming pikmin (C-Stick)
  • Camera controls (L, R, and Z triggers)
  • Interacting with Onion nor SS Dolphin spotlights (A button)
  • Pausing the game (Start button)
  • Laying down (D-Pad)
