There weren't as many accessories that were released for the SNES compared to the NES<ref>[[Wikipedia:List of Super Nintendo Entertainment System accessories|List of Super Nintendo Entertainment System accessories]]</ref>, but there are still quite a few to go over.
===Super Game Boy===
The '''[[gametech:Super Game Boy|Super Game Boy]]''' was a peripheral designed to play Game Boy and black Game Boy Color cartridges on the Super Nintendo through the cartridge slot, just like a typical SNES game. The Super Game Boy uses a special version of the Game Boy hardware to allow for ''Super Game Boy enhanced'' Game Boy games to operate its otherwise hidden features, such as colorization and improved sound by way of the SNES's more sophisticated sound hardware.

Another thing to note is that there's a redesigned model, only released in Japan, called the ''Super Game Boy 2''. It can use a link cable connection that the first model lacks. It also fixes a slight overclocking issue and runs games at normal speed.
