I've been going through the whole "English friendly" Dreamcast library (PAL, NTSC-U and also some NTSC-J) to find out, which games are compatible with the Sega Saturn Control Pad via the "Total Control 3" adapter.
The following list only marks a game as compatible, if the full set of input commands from a Standard Controller can also be performed on the Saturn Pad. There are some more games "playable" with the Saturn Pad, but not not to their full extent.
In general, the "Total Control 3" is recognized as an Arcade Stick within the games. So, this list could potentially serve as a compatibility list for the Arcade Stick as well. There's a separate list for Aracde Stick compatibility here ( viewtopic.php?t=12832 ). But since that list also indicates about 14 games compatible, which I tested incompatible or not fully compatible, I decided to create this new list instead of posting my results there.
Homebrew and aftermarket games are not featured here, because usually (like 92% of cases) these are compatible with the Saturn Pad.
Please feel free to contribute information about other (JP) games, that are not on the list yet. Also let me know wether I've missed something during testing.

Re: Saturn Pad Compatibility List (Total Control 3)
This is really excellent to have as a reference, great work. Have you tested games with the 3D Analog Pad? I've heard that it's detected by the adaptor as an Arcade Racer, but if it's functional at all as a replacement for a standard Dreamcast pad, it would definitely be worth noting.

I don't own a Saturn 3D Analog Pad. All the testing has been done with a standard (digital) Saturn Pad.

Nicely done, Streeker.
Good info here, too: https://segaretro.org/Total_Control_3
"Because the 3D Control Pad emulates the steering wheel peripheral, only the X-axis on the analog thumb is detected and the analog shoulder buttons are ignored." @OlivusPrime
