 Donkey Kong features a custom border based on the original arcade game. The Super Game Boy was only compatible with the original monochrome Game Boy cartridges. The unit could map the four shades of grey to various colors on the TV. Later Game Boy games that were optimized to use the Super Game Boy had additional color information and background borders. Those games would contain a small "Super Game Boy Game Pak" logo on the box and cartridge. The adaptor could support up to 256 colors in static screens (i.e the title screen) and 13 colors in the normal game. Image File history File links SBGLogo. ...

 The Super Game Boy cartridge, Super Famicom version It was also possible for Super Game Boy games to make use of the SNES hardware for extra effects. For example, Asteroids/Missile Command and Donkey Kong all had expanded sound when used with the Super Game Boy. The Game Boy version of Killer Instinct even allowed the second SNES controller to be read as another Game Boy, and the title screen changed to show that it had a two-player option, rather than just "connect." In the most skillful use, Space Invaders allowed players to play a full 16-bit version of the game that took over the entire screen.

Predecessors and Successors The Super Game Boy was the successor to Intelligent Systems' Wide Boy 2 (which connected to the Famicom or NES). One difference between the Wide Boy and the Super Game Boy is that the former did not use any part of the Famicom/NES other than the video memory. Even the controller (a single Famicom controller) was hardwired directly into the Wide Boy. The Wide Boy would continue running even if the reset button were held down on the Famicom/NES. The Game Boy had twice as many tiles as could fit in the Famicom/NES's video memory, so the Wide Boy had to refresh the Famicom/NES's video memory halfway down the screen. Intelligent Systems refers to a video game developer and internal team of Nintendo Co. ...

On the GameCube, the Game Boy Player was released in 2003, which allows all Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games to be played on a television. It attaches to the bottom of the console; however, a boot disc must be in the GameCube disc drive in order to operate it. The Game Boy Player functions just like a Game Boy Advance, letterboxing the games' display on a standard television set. Some GBA games were programmed with consideration for the Player, including activating the vibration feature in GameCube controllers and special color palletes which accounted for a TV's brightness and resolution. The Game Boy Player will not activate Super Game Boy options on a Super Game Boy enhanced cartridge, however. The Nintendo GameCube (Japanese: ゲームキューブ; originally code-named Dolphin during development; abbreviated as GCN) is Nintendos fourth home video game console, belonging to the 128-bit era; the same generation as Segas Dreamcast, Sonys PlayStation 2, and Microsofts Xbox. ...

Trivia - The Super Game Boy actually consists of the same hardware as the Game Boy; inside the cartridge a separate CPU processed the games while the SNES only provided means for user-input, output of graphics to the screen and the additional coloring.
- The Super Game Boy plays the audio for games, and perhaps the games themselves, about 2.4% faster than the original hardware. The slight change in music pitch may be noticeable to some, but it is probably undetectable except when tested. [2]
- If you opened the paint program, painted on the screen and left it alone for a while, a janitor would come and clean up the screen until you pressed a button on the controller, at which point the janitor and the area he cleaned would disappear.
