The '''Super Nintendo Entertainment System''' (abbreviated to SNES, Super NES or Super Nintendo, Japanese: '''Super Famicom'''; also called in early development '''NES2''' or '''Nintendo Entertainment System 2''') is a video game console created by [[Nintendo]]. It was the successor to the original [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and rivaled in performance to the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. It had many popular games, including ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. Other popular titles are ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and ''[[Mario Paint]]''.
The '''{{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System}}''' (abbreviated as '''SNES''', '''Super NES''', or '''Super Nintendo'''), called the '''Super Famicom''' or the '''Super Family Computer'''<ref>{{Cite|author=Nintendo Japan|url=https://www.nintendo.com/jp/character/mario/en/history/index.html|title=''Mario Portal''}}</ref> in Japan, is a video game console created by [[Nintendo]]. In early development, it was called '''Nintendo Entertainment System 2''' or '''NES2'''. The system was released in Japan on November 21, 1990; in South Korea later that year; in North America on August 23, 1991; in the United Kingdom and Ireland on April 11, 1992; in most of continental Europe on June 6, 1992; in Chile two days later; in Oceania in July 1992; in Brazil on August 30, 1993; in Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Yugoslavia in 1994; in Poland on November 15, 1994 (simultaneously with the original [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and the [[Game Boy]]);<ref name=Rogers_2020/> and in Russia the following day. The South Korean version was rebranded the '''Super Comboy''' and was distributed by {{wp|SK Hynix|Hyundai Electronics}} to circumvent the country's bans on Japanese cultural imports. It is the last Nintendo console that has a different design and name in North America and PAL regions. The PAL version is a mix between the Super Famicom and the American SNES, keeping the design of the Super Famicom, while using the name from the American version. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System is the successor to the original Nintendo Entertainment System and similarly went on to produce many popular games, many of which are of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], most notably ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.


The Super Famicom was released in Japan on November 21, 1990 while the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was released in America on August 13, 1991, in Europe in April 1992 and in Australia in July 1992. They were discontinued in 1999, followed by the Famicom model and the SNES/Super Famicom games which discontinued in 2000. It remained popular throughout the 32/64 bit era, selling 49.10 million units during its lifetime. Nintendo also worked with Sony to create the planned add-on, the SNES CD to rival against Sega CD. However, Nintendo's cooperation with Sony crumbled so the SNES CD was moved to Philips for a short time. The project resulted in the [[Philips CD-i|CD-i]].
Many early SNES cartridges had a long crevice spanning the cartridge. This was to prevent people from pulling the cartridges out when the system was turned on. These were produced as late as March 1993, as some early ''{{iw|LylatWiki|Star Fox (game)|Star Fox}}'' cartridges were manufactured with this mold. Later SNES cartridges opted into a different design because people were possibly breaking their SNES units,{{ref needed}} at the very earliest of June 1993, as no ''[[Yoshi's Cookie]]'' or ''[[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|Mario is Missing!]]'' cartridges have this mold.


The SNES was re-released as the SNES 2, being released at the same time as the [[Nintendo 64]]. As well as this, it was smaller and lacked the eject button. It also could not output the S-Video and RGB signals.
The system's S-SMP audio chip, which used {{wp|Adaptive differential pulse-code modulation|ADPCM}} sample playback instead of a digital synthesizer like competing systems, was developed by consumer electronics company {{wp|Sony}}. The success of this partnership resulted in another deal to create the {{wp|Super NES CD-ROM}}, a planned peripheral for the SNES that would have been able to play CD-ROM discs, in response to the Japanese success of a similar add-on for the {{wp|TurboGrafx-16}}. However, because the contract would have given Sony full control of and royalties for CD-ROM titles, Nintendo publicly terminated their partnership and courted a new deal with [[Royal Philips Electronics|Philips]], who previously co-developed the Compact Disc format with Sony throughout the 1970s. The Philips deal failed to result in a finished product, and instead, Philips was given the rights to use the ''Super Mario'' and ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}'' IPs for several titles on its own CD-based multimedia device, the [[Philips CD-i]]. Only [[Hotel Mario|one ''Super Mario'' title]] emerged from this arrangement, though two others were planned before being canceled. Sony, meanwhile, would eventually release the {{wp|PlayStation (console)|PlayStation}} in response to its deal with Nintendo falling apart, considerably outselling the [[Nintendo 64]] during the late 1990s. Some games of the ''Super Mario'' franchise, such as ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', were considered for the Super NES CD-ROM, only to be shifted to the base SNES following the add-on's cancelation.<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Development:Super_Mario_All-Stars#Alternative_Titles|title=Development: ''Super Mario All-Stars''|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=November 13, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=May 1993|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #2|page=62|quote=As mentioned in Nintendo News Network last issue, not much is known at this stage, but we believe that the Super CD will be the same size as the Super NES. It will connect by the external port on the Super NES and the two units will become one by piggybacking. Super Mario 5 is said to be coming out on Super CD.}}</ref>


During the SNES era, Nintendo and Sega were at the peak of their rivalry, so in many of the ''Mario'' games there were elements that mocked the ''[[sonicretro:Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series and vice versa. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Sonic's boots and the plasma gun from ''[[wikipedia:Earthworm Jim (series)|Earthworm Jim]]'' are seen next to a bin and labeled "no hopers". In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', there are [[Harry Hedgehog|blue hedgehog enemies]] that greatly resemble [[Sonic the Hedgehog]].
Because of the international rivalry between Nintendo and Sega, which competed against the SNES with their {{wp|Sega Genesis}}, many ''Super Mario'' games during this time included jabs at Sega's flagship series, ''{{iw|sonicretro|Sonic the Hedgehog}}'', and vice versa. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', [[Sonic]]'s boots and the plasma gun from ''{{wp|Earthworm Jim}}'' are seen next to a bin and labeled "no hopers." In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', there are [[Harry Hedgehog|blue hedgehog enemies]] that greatly resemble Sonic.


==Super Famicom==
The SNES was re-released as Super Famicom Jr. for Japan, and on October 20, 1997, it was released in North America as the {{wp|New-Style Super NES}}.<ref>{{cite|url=maru-chang.com/hard/shvc/english.htm#SNS-101|title=SHVC: Super Famicom|accessdate=July 9, 2023}}</ref> The newer model was smaller and lacked the eject button, and it also could not output the S-Video and RGB signals.

The SNES was based on a Japanese console called the Super Famicom. Famicom was a portmanteau of Family and Computer. There are obvious performance and aesthetic differences between the two consoles. It was re-released as a Super Famicom Jr., matching a USA SNES 2, but obviously, with the same differences as the SNES 1 and Super Famicom had.
 
The PAL SNES is a mix between the Super Famicom and the USA SNES, keeping the design of the Super Famicom, but using the name from the USA version.

The SNES Controller has a layout which popularized the layout used by most modern controllers. It is more round-shaped instead of rectangle-shaped from the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] controller. It has the {{button|snes|A}}, {{button|snes|B}}, {{button|snes|start}}, and {{button|snes|select}} buttons and the {{button|snes|Pad}} from the NES, plus four extra buttons: the {{button|snes|X}}, {{button|snes|Y}}, {{button|snes|L}}, and {{button|snes|R}} buttons. There was also a [[LodgeNet]] version for hotels.<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendrew|date=August 15, 2018|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK_EPiRkFew&ab_channel=Nintendrew|title=LodgeNet Game Controllers - Nintendo's Hotel Rental Service!|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=March 4, 2020}}</ref>


The American controller is slightly different from the Japanese and the Pal controllers. Instead of the different coloured buttons the A and B buttons were purple and the X and Y buttons were lavender.

Instead of having each button be a different bright color, the {{button|snes|A}} and {{button|snes|B}} buttons were purple and the {{button|snes|X}} and {{button|snes|Y}} buttons were lavender, tying into the mechanical color scheme of the SNES's American model.

The SNES Mouse was an accessory for certain SNES games. It was compatible only with the SNES and was thus only used in the early-to-mid-1990s. The SNES Mouse mimics the appearance and action of an actual computer mouse; the SNES Mouse controlled the [[Stripe Pointer]] in some Mario games.
[[File:NASuperGameBoy.jpg|thumb|The Super Game Boy Cartridge]]
The Super Game Boy is a cartridge adapter that allows play of all [[Game Boy]] games, as well as [[Game Boy Color]] games that were made backwards compatible to work on the original Game Boy, on the Super Nintendo. Some Game Boy games are labeled as enhanced for Super Game Boy, such as ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]''.

The SNES Super Scope is a [[wikipedia:Light gun|light gun]] accessory for the SNES. It has one "fire" button for shooting, either in single bursts or a constant stream, depending on whether or not its on/off switch is set to "turbo". It also has a second "cursor" button and a "pause" button. It was used for very few games, including one ''Mario'' title, ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]''.

===Super Multitap===
[[File:SNESCN.jpg|thumb|left|Mario and Luigi's SNES-like spaceship.]]
[[File:SNES Super Multitap.jpg|thumb|The Super Multitap]]
A spaceship shaped like the PAL version of the SNES appeared in the 1997 ''[[Club Nintendo]]'' comic, "[[Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All]]". It was used as a metaphor, referring to the discontinuation of the console, and the launch of the [[Nintendo 64]]. In the comic, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] traveled with this spaceship, in search for a new one. During their quest they had to compete against [[Wario]] and [[Bowser]] who chased after the new spaceship as well. At the end of the comic, the spacecraft turned out to be the Nintendo 64 and the plumbers went on to take possession of it (abandoning the SNES-spaceship), being hailed by several of their friends. The SNES is also used as the setting for the [[microgame]] [[Super Nostalgic Entertainment System]] in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', giant SNES controllers appear in both [[Monkey Museum]] and the Interior of [[The Flying Krock]].
The '''Super Multitap''', by [[Hudson Soft]], allowed to turn the player 2 controller port into four controller ports, allowing for up to five simultaneous players, but only if the game supports it. Although no ''Super Mario'' game for the SNES uses the Super Multitap, the [[Game Boy]] game ''[[Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman!]]'' can use the accessory if played in a [[Super Game Boy]], although the game never uses the fifth available controller slot.
 
===Satellaview===
{{main|Satellaview}}
[[File:Satellaview.jpg|thumb|The Satellaview under a Super Famicom with the special cartridge]]
A Japan-exclusive add-on for the Super Famicom was the Satellaview. It was the earliest known, commercially available, licensed product by Nintendo to connect to the internet and download games. The Super Famicom Jr. is incompatible with Satellaview because of the missing port underneath the first model had.

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (abbreviated as SNES, Super NES, or Super Nintendo), called the Super Famicom or the Super Family Computer[10] in Japan, is a video game console created by Nintendo. In early development, it was called Nintendo Entertainment System 2 or NES2. The system was released in Japan on November 21, 1990; in South Korea later that year; in North America on August 23, 1991; in the United Kingdom and Ireland on April 11, 1992; in most of continental Europe on June 6, 1992; in Chile two days later; in Oceania in July 1992; in Brazil on August 30, 1993; in Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Yugoslavia in 1994; in Poland on November 15, 1994 (simultaneously with the original Nintendo Entertainment System and the Game Boy);[7] and in Russia the following day. The South Korean version was rebranded the Super Comboy and was distributed by Hyundai Electronics to circumvent the country's bans on Japanese cultural imports. It is the last Nintendo console that has a different design and name in North America and PAL regions. The PAL version is a mix between the Super Famicom and the American SNES, keeping the design of the Super Famicom, while using the name from the American version. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System is the successor to the original Nintendo Entertainment System and similarly went on to produce many popular games, many of which are of the Super Mario franchise, most notably Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

Many early SNES cartridges had a long crevice spanning the cartridge. This was to prevent people from pulling the cartridges out when the system was turned on. These were produced as late as March 1993, as some early Star Fox cartridges were manufactured with this mold. Later SNES cartridges opted into a different design because people were possibly breaking their SNES units,[citation needed] at the very earliest of June 1993, as no Yoshi's Cookie or Mario is Missing! cartridges have this mold.

The system's S-SMP audio chip, which used ADPCM sample playback instead of a digital synthesizer like competing systems, was developed by consumer electronics company Sony. The success of this partnership resulted in another deal to create the Super NES CD-ROM, a planned peripheral for the SNES that would have been able to play CD-ROM discs, in response to the Japanese success of a similar add-on for the TurboGrafx-16. However, because the contract would have given Sony full control of and royalties for CD-ROM titles, Nintendo publicly terminated their partnership and courted a new deal with Philips, who previously co-developed the Compact Disc format with Sony throughout the 1970s. The Philips deal failed to result in a finished product, and instead, Philips was given the rights to use the Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda IPs for several titles on its own CD-based multimedia device, the Philips CD-i. Only one Super Mario title emerged from this arrangement, though two others were planned before being canceled. Sony, meanwhile, would eventually release the PlayStation in response to its deal with Nintendo falling apart, considerably outselling the Nintendo 64 during the late 1990s. Some games of the Super Mario franchise, such as Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, were considered for the Super NES CD-ROM, only to be shifted to the base SNES following the add-on's cancelation.[11][12]

Because of the international rivalry between Nintendo and Sega, which competed against the SNES with their Sega Genesis, many Super Mario games during this time included jabs at Sega's flagship series, Sonic the Hedgehog, and vice versa. In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Sonic's boots and the plasma gun from Earthworm Jim are seen next to a bin and labeled "no hopers." In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, there are blue hedgehog enemies that greatly resemble Sonic.

The SNES was re-released as Super Famicom Jr. for Japan, and on October 20, 1997, it was released in North America as the New-Style Super NES.[13] The newer model was smaller and lacked the eject button, and it also could not output the S-Video and RGB signals.

Accessories[edit]

SNES Controller[edit]

The original Japanese and PAL Controller
The LodgeNet SNES Controller

The SNES Controller has a layout which popularized the layout used by most modern controllers. It is more round-shaped instead of rectangle-shaped from the NES controller. It has the A Button, B Button, Start Button, and Select Button buttons and the +Control Pad from the NES, plus four extra buttons: the X Button, Y Button, L Button, and R Button buttons. There was also a LodgeNet version for hotels.[14]

The American controller is slightly different from the Japanese and the PAL controllers. Instead of having each button be a different bright color, the A Button and B Button buttons were purple and the X Button and Y Button buttons were lavender, tying into the mechanical color scheme of the SNES's American model.

There is also a Wii adaption of the SNES controller for use as a substitution for the Classic Controller with games that support said controller.

Super Game Boy[edit]

The Super Game Boy Cartridge

The Super Game Boy is a cartridge adapter that allows play of all Game Boy games, as well as Game Boy Color games that were made backwards compatible to work on the original Game Boy, on the Super Nintendo. Some Game Boy games are labeled as enhanced for Super Game Boy, such as Donkey Kong.

Super NES Mouse[edit]

The Super NES Mouse

The Super NES Mouse was an accessory for certain Super NES games. It was compatible only with the SNES and was thus only used in the early-to-mid-1990s. The Super NES Mouse mimics the appearance and action of an actual computer mouse; the Super NES Mouse controlled the cursor in some Super Mario games.

The Super NES Mouse was originally bundled with Mario Paint and a mouse pad for $59.95.

Super Mario games compatible with the Super NES Mouse[edit]

Super Scope[edit]

The Super Scope

The SNES Super Scope is a light gun accessory for the SNES. It has one "fire" button for shooting, either in single bursts or a constant stream, depending on whether or not its on/off switch is set to "turbo". It also has a second "cursor" button and a "pause" button. It was used for very few games, including one Super Mario title, Yoshi's Safari.

Super Multitap[edit]

The Super Multitap

The Super Multitap, by Hudson Soft, allowed to turn the player 2 controller port into four controller ports, allowing for up to five simultaneous players, but only if the game supports it. Although no Super Mario game for the SNES uses the Super Multitap, the Game Boy game Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman! can use the accessory if played in a Super Game Boy, although the game never uses the fifth available controller slot.

Satellaview[edit]

A Japan-exclusive add-on for the Super Famicom was the Satellaview. It was the earliest known, commercially available, licensed product by Nintendo to connect to the internet and download games. The Super Famicom Jr. is incompatible with Satellaview because of the missing port underneath the first model had.

SF Memory Cassette[edit]

Only in Japan, the SF Memory Cassette is a rewritable version of regular cartridges, through kiosks at retail stores between 1997-2007.

Cleaning Kit[edit]

Over time, pins inside the SNES and game cartridges would get dirty. Nintendo released an approved cleaning kit to improve the condition of the contacts so games would play without interruption.

Super NES Classic Edition[edit]

Announced on June 26, 2017, the Super NES Classic Edition (known as the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System in Europe and Australia and Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom in Japan) is a smaller version of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and the successor to the NES Classic Edition. It comes with 21 pre-installed SNES games, including five games in the Super Mario franchise: Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. It was released on September 29, 2017 in North America and Europe, September 30 in Oceania, and October 5 in Japan.

Appearances in the Super Mario franchise[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

In the Super Mario series, Super Mario World had a Special Zone that used the logo for the Japanese and European markets, and in Super Mario Odyssey, one of the filters that is available for use in Snapshot Mode is the graphics style of the SNES.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, giant SNES controllers appear in both Monkey Museum and the Interior of The Flying Krock.

Club Nintendo[edit]

Mario and Luigi's spaceship resembling the SNES
Mario and Luigi's SNES-like spaceship

A spaceship shaped like the PAL version of the SNES appeared in the 1997 Club Nintendo comic, "Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All". It was used as a metaphor, referring to the discontinuation of the console, and the launch of the Nintendo 64. In the comic, Mario and Luigi traveled with this spaceship, in search for a new one. During their quest they had to compete against Wario and Bowser who chased after the new spaceship as well. At the end of the comic, the spacecraft turned out to be the Nintendo 64 and the plumbers went on to take possession of it (abandoning the SNES-spaceship), being hailed by several of their friends.

WarioWare: Smooth Moves[edit]
