Can you use the wii classic controller for nintendo gamecube games?

I have recently found out that you can use nintendo gamecube games on the nintendo wii but can you use a classic controller to play these games or do i have to buy something else?

You can't use the classic controller to play gamecube games. When the wii is in gamecube mode, it loses access to all of the wii peripherals (bluetooth, usb, wifi, etc.), so it won't recognize your wii remote.

Open the flaps on the top of the wii to reveal ports for gamecube controllers as well as gamecube memory cards. Just plug a gamecube controller and memory card in and you're good to go. All gamecube controllers will work with the wii, you don't need anything special.

Can you use a gamecube remote to play classic Nintendo games on the wii?

I purchased the super nintendos version of supermario world over the wii channel. It said before i bought it i would need either the classic controller or a gamecube remote. I hooked the remotes up and cant get it to work? Is their anyway I can get these controllers to work with this game?
would someone mind instructing me on how to get it to work? thanks...

Don't you mean "GameCube controller". By the way, yes, GC controllers will work on ANY SNES VC game, but the problem is the game will be hard to control with the GC controller because the A, B, X and Y are in a different layout unlike the Classic Controller.
