Super Game Boy SNES

Description

Super Game Boy SNES

The Super Game Boy is compatible with the same cartridges as the original Game Boy: original Game Boy cartridges, the Game Boy Camera, and dual-mode Game Boy Colour cartridges (in Game Boy-mode)

The unit could map the four shades of green to various colours on the screen. Later Game Boy games that were optimized to use the Super Game Boy had additional colour information and could override the on-screen colours, display a graphical border around the screen, and display special background sprites, as seen in the Mario’s Picross title screen.

Those games would have printed a small “Super Game Boy Game Pak” logo on the box and cartridge. The adaptor could support up to 64 colours for the border, and 12 colours for the screen. Static screens could display all 10 colours. Certain games can load multiple borders depending on the player’s location in the game, such as Dragon Warrior I & II. Via Wikipedia.
