was the select button ever used to select something?

weapons in Super Metroid. Possibly even in regular Metroid, but I never played that one

Probably Zelda as well, then. Not on the SNES though - wasn't the inventory there on X even?

edit: Select switched characters in Secret of Mana!

I think select is used in some racing games to change... no wait, to SELECT camera view! Ha!
