Rumble is a feature in Nintendo games, causing the controller, console or game to vibrate when something worthy of attention/important happens in the game.

Rumble hardware

The Nintendo GameCube Controller, and the Wii Remote, Wii U GamePad, Joy-Cons on a Nintendo Switch (HD Rumble) have the rumble feature built-in to them. Compatible games (such as those in the Super Smash Bros. series) can access this feature. It may be possible to turn the rumble feature off, either for the software or the controller itself. For the Wii Remote, this is possible through the Wii Remote Settings menu.^[1]

The Game Boy Player (Nintendo GameCube) adds special support to the following Game Boy Advance games, giving them a Rumble feature:

Rumble Paks

A Rumble Pak feature is a special type of Nintendo Game Pak with a Rumble feature built-in to the cartridge, though it may also refer to a cartridge that supports the Rumble feature through a special peripheral/hardware (such as the Game Boy Player, mentioned above).

Rumble Pak games have been released for Nintendo 64, Game Boy/Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance.

Later, the Rumble feature usually has become a feature of the console/hardware itself, rather than being built-in to the cartridge.
