Background
The Super Game Boy is a peripheral that allows Game Boy cartridges to be played on a Super Nintendo Entertainment System console. It was released in June 14, 1994. A successor to the Super Game Boy, the Super Game Boy 2, was released exclusively in Japan in 1998.
(June 14, 1994, Mid-1998)
Logo: On a black box surrounded by a Game Boy border, we see a white Nintendo logo on the bottom with the "registered" symbol. Sparkles fly from left to right to write in "Super" in a cursive font, and "GAME BOY" fades in below.
Variants:
- On the Japanese exclusive Super Game Boy 2, a number "2 also fades in with "GAME BOY".
- If there is no cartridge or the game is corrupted, the Nintendo logo is replaced with a white bar or a mess of pixels, and the SGB logo is replaced with a Game Boy cartridge with a big "X" on top of it, which blinks.
Technique: 2D sprite animation.
Music/Sounds: Some whooshing sounds, and a different "bling" sound, almost sounding similar to the first part of the GBA jingle. The cartridge variant has two quick buzzes.
Availability: Rare.
- Seen on Game Boy games when played on the Super Game Boy add-on for the SNES.
- The variant is only seen on the Japanese-only Super Game Boy 2.
