| The '''Super Nintendo Entertainment System''', commonly abbreviated as '''SNES''', '''Super NES''' or '''Super Nintendo''', is a 16-bit home video game console, and originally released as the '''Super Famicom''' in Japan on November 21, 1990. It was later released worldwide, first in North America on August 13, 1991, bearing a different design than the Super Famicom. A model nearly identical to the Japanese console was released in Europe on April 11, 1992 and in Australia on July 3, 1992. It is the successor of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and, unlike its predecessor, possesses 16-bit instead of only 8. | | {{NWiki}} |

| The '''Super Game Boy''' is an adapter cartridge released for all Super Nintendo Entertainment System models in 1994. It has a slot at the top that allows the user to insert any standard [[Game Boy]] cartridge. Then, the adapter can be played like a regular SNES cartridge, which allows the user to play the inserted Game Boy game on the SNES. As the Game Boy makes use of a smaller screen, the rest of the display is filled with a border that can be selected from the Super Game Boy's menu. Furthermore, games can be displayed in color, using one of several pre-set palettes or a custom one. However, because it uses the hardware of a standard Game Boy, the adapter cannot use palettes designed for the [[Game Boy Color]], or run Game Boy Color-exclusive games at all. | | The Super Game Boy (スーパーゲームボーイ, ''Sūpā Gēmu Bōi'') is an adapter cartridge released for all Super Nintendo Entertainment System models in 1994. It can be inserted into the system like a game cartridge, but possesses a slot at the top that allows the user to insert a [[Game Boy]] game, including any ''Kirby'' title released for said system. Doing so makes it possible for the game to be played on a TV screen, using an SNES controller.

| Certain Game Boy games take advantage of the Super Game Boy's capabilities to present the game in more colors than would usually be possible, provide different pre-set palettes for different parts of the game, incorporate additional, higher-quality sound effects via the SNES's S-SMP audio chip, and display custom borders around the playing field. Out of the ''Kirby'' series, ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'', and ''[[Kirby's Star Stacker (Game Boy)|Kirby's Star Stacker]]'' all take advantage of these features, with special borders and defined palettes, as well as using the Super Game Boy's internal sound effects for ''Dream Land 2'' and ''Star Stacker''. The other two Game Boy ''Kirby'' games—''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]''—both have a special Super Game Boy palette, but no additional features. ''[[Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble]]'', due to being Game Boy Color-exclusive, is not compatible with the Super Game Boy. | | Certain Game Boy games take advantage of the Super Game Boy's capabilities to present the game in more colors than would usually be possible and provide different pre-set palettes for different parts of the game, as well as a unique border. The only game in the ''Kirby'' series to make use of the Super Game Boy in this way is ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]''. |
