The Tower places a border around the game screen, using the same borders as the [[Super Game Boy]] accessory, with the exception of {{game|Crystal}}, which uses a generic border designed after a Game Boy; this same border is seen for a few moments in all games while it loads the boot ROM before rendering the Super Game Boy border and then booting the games in either Super Game Boy mode (for the Generation I games other than international {{game|Yellow}}) or [[Game Boy Color]] mode (for the Generation II games and international Pokémon Yellow). | ||
