Overview

The SuperPad 64 name was applied to numerous controller variants:

  • a two prong variant (with a later SuperPad 64 Plus revision with turbo and slow mode functionality)
  • a chunkier "one prong and two nubs" variant, which is the most common variant, was called SuperPad 64 by both Performance and InterAct and SuperPad 64 Colors (Performance only), and was even released as the SuperPad 64^2 by InterAct
    • Several variants were also licensed by Nintendo, including the black, blue, green, gold and red SuperPad 64 Colors by Performance, the grey SuperPad 64 by Performance as well as the SharkPad Pro 64^2 by InterAct
    • Each of these variants licensed by Nintendo were also released without the license under their respective brand name and are indistinguishable hardware-wise
    • The EA Sports GamePad was licensed by Nintendo and released under InterAct branding
    • The SharkPad Pro 64^2 includes turbo and slow mode buttons, but the underlying shell is the same as the other variants. In fact, if you remove the cover on the other variants, there are cut-outs for those buttons in the shell
    • The SharkPad Pro (not 64^2) features the same PCB as the 64^2, but in a three-prong shell.
  • this variant released in 2001 with a slow mode button in a "a prong and two slightly longer nubs" shell with InterAct branding
  • confusingly even a variant of the Arcade Shark

This variant was released in a blister package and the controller has a clear-backed sticker on the bottom that reads "SuperPad 64 Colors", along with manufacturer information. This variant also has three additional buttons on the face of the controller: a button for slow mode and two buttons to set and clear the slow mode.

The SuperPad 64 Colors by InterAct, the Power Joypad by Innovation, the Thunder Pad by Yobo, the Rumble Joypad by Myiico, the Retro 64 by Retro-Bit, and the Sumo Pad all share the same shell and make for perhaps the longest-lived third-party Nintendo 64 controller, starting production in the late '90s and running through the 2010's. Likely first seen under the name Power Joypad from Innovation, the controller generally has the brand's name in the center of the controller, although the Sumo Pad controllers lack any branding.
