A more finalized design of the GameCube controller was put on display at Space World 2000. This model has a different spherical "START/PAUSE" button and it was red, while the B button has a bean shaped button and is green. There are two unreleased color variants found among these display units, which are gold and pink. These display units didn't actually have any hardware in them, they were empty cases made for the purpose of display.
