Super Game Boy

The Super Game Boy was an accessory released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It plugs into the cartridge slot of the Super NES. It is used to play Game Boy games on a TV set. It is succeeded by the Nintendo GameCube's Game Boy Player, which is very similar in function.

The Super Game Boy can be used to play any cartridges for the original Game Boy and any black Game Boy Color cartridges. It cannot be used to play any Game Boy Color-exclusive games. Some Game Boy games included enhanced Super Game Boy features, allowing compatible games to be displayed in full color with a special border. Some games also had enhanced sound capabilities on the Super Game Boy. The Game Boy Player cannot activate any of these special enhancements.
