'''The WaveBird Wireless Controller''' is a radio frequency-based wireless controller based on the same design as the standard controller. It communicates with the GameCube system wirelessly through a '''receiver dongle''' connected to one of the system's controller ports. It is '''powered by two AA batteries'''. As a power-conservation measure, the WaveBird lacks the rumble function of the standard controller. The WaveBird came in two colors, grey and silver (Platinum).
