The '''{{wp|Super Game Boy}}''' is a special adapter cartridge designed for use with the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] that was released in 1994. It allows players to play [[Game Boy]] games on their television screen through their Super Nintendo. It can also play certain [[Game Boy Color]] games, but only ones that are compatible with the original Game Boy. As the dimensions of the Game Boy's screen are different from those of most televisions, a border is needed on the screen. Certain games, mostly ones that came out around or after the time the Super Game Boy was released, such as ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'', take advantage of the Super Game Boy, and display customized borders when played. Many games also allow for enhanced sound effects and music when played on the Super Game Boy. Certain games, such as ''[[Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman!]]'', take additional advantage of the Super Game Boy, and allow for multi-player with a second controller. It can even take advantage of [[Hudson Soft]]'s [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System#Super Multitap|Super Multitap]] but without support for any fifth player. | The '''{{wp|Super Game Boy}}''' is a special adapter cartridge designed for use with the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] that was released in 1994.

If the player were to leave a game on the Super Game Boy sitting for a few minutes, screensaver-like animation would come from the screen border. Notably, [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Luigi]] appear in one of these border animations. Mario comes spinning up from the lowest window and stands on top of it; if the player waits long enough, Mario falls asleep. While he is asleep, Peach appears from the window on the right. Mario wakes up but misses Peach, instead to have a racecar drive out and spin him around. After this, Mario falls asleep again. Eventually, a spaceship that looks almost identical to the ones in the background of the [[Muda Kingdom]] of ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', only much smaller, circles Mario. He wakes up and then eventually falls asleep again. The animation ends with Luigi coming down on a rope from the top window and pulling Mario back up with him. | If the player were to leave a game on the Super Game Boy sitting for a few minutes, screensaver-like animation would come from the screen border.
