An accessory for the [[Super NES]] that allowed users to play [[Nintendo Game Boy]] games on their TV. The most notible thing about the accesory is the fact that it makes every game into color. There was also an option that would allow you to have a neat little border around the game such as blocks or diffrent colors. If you put in the game ''[[Donkey Kong '94]]'' in the Super Game Boy, it will give you an exclusive border that resembles a ''[[Donkey Kong (Game)|Donkey Kong]]'' arcade machine, and [[Pauline]] will also yell "Help!" in a digitalized voice.
