The '''Game Boy Camera''', known as '''Pocket Camera''' (ポケットカメラ, ''Pokettokamera'') in Japan, is an accessory for the [[Game Boy]] (and compatible with the [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]]) released in early 1998 which allows the user to take up to 30 grainy monochrome pictures (although that amount can be increased through third-party devices) and view them and edit them on the Game Boy screen and print them out using the Game Boy Printer. [[Game Freak]] was involved with its development. | |||
The accessory was discontinued in 2002. Both the camera and the printer contain many references to the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. | |||

Trying to get rid of the Camera, Mario returns to the fortune-teller who turns out to be [[Luigi]], explaining that it was just a normal Game Boy Camera he sold to his brother, and that it cannot foresee the future. He attempts to prove his point by turning the device on. After it shows [[Poochy]], suddenly a herd of dogs enters the tent. Now Luigi is terrified as well and the brothers run away, dropping the Camera. At the end of the comic, the reader sees Satan's hand grabbing the Game Boy Camera, and it is explained that this is the only copy that has fallen into his hands. | Trying to get rid of the Camera, Mario returns to the fortune-teller who turns out to be [[Luigi]], explaining that it was just a normal Game Boy Camera he sold to his brother, and that it cannot foresee the future.

*While the Game Boy Camera features images of popular Nintendo entities, the user is able to access very strange images of people's faces drawn over. These faces can be accessed if the user presses "Run" numerous times, or if the user presses the A Button if they do not have enough frame shots. If this is done correctly, the faces will appear, with a caption saying "Who are you running from?" appearing. If the player tries to exit, the face might reappear, with the sign saying "Don't be so silly!" appearing. These also appear upon other errors, such as linking to an unavailable printer or creating an animation without pictures. | |||
