What Gameboy games are the most fun to play on a SNES via Super Gameboy?
I really want to find out what games are the most fun to play on this fantastic device. What I am looking for: games with special features when played on a Super Gameboy (such as 2 player modes using a second controller, special borders, special colors, etc.), games that seem to play better with a SNES controller, or just games that are fun to play on a TV! For me I already know that the Donkey Kong Land series has special pre-set colors, but that's about the only example I know of.
Link's Awakening was a blast. It seemed much more fun on a TV.

Best played in DX form on a system that can play GBC releases (GBC, any GBA other than the Micro, the Game Boy Player, or as a download from the 3DS shop). Fully colorized graphics and an extra dungeon if you do that.Originally Posted by backguard
And it's the only release with any Super Game Boy enhancements (A custom border), where as the standard gray cartridge GB release has zero enhancements. But of course if you play it on a SGB, you lose the colorized graphics and can't access the special dungeon.
Donkey Kong

Try 'Metroid 2: The Return of Samus'. That's the second best game behind 'Link's Awakening'. After those two, 'Mario and the 6 Golden Coins' is awesome.
Oh, and the other two Zelda games for GameBoy Color 'Oracle of Seasons/Time' are good.
If you have a GameCube, buy the GBA player. GameBoy games can be played on it as well as GBA games. 'Metroid Fusion' on a tv was like a short version of 'Super Metroid'.
I just ordered 'Metroid: Zero Mission' off of e-bay and it'll be here this week. Life is good.

Does Bonk's Adventure have anything enhanced for Super Gameboy?
Yea I'm ordering those 3 games today that you first mentioned. Life is good
Well, Donkey Kong (not Donkey Kong Land, just Donkey Kong) was the main game they were pushing along with the release of the thing, and it has borders and a nice palate and all.
That's exactly what I meant... Thanks I may get a copy of this!
Keep the responses coming!
I think almost all Game Boy games that were made since the Super Game Boy came out actually had specific borders from then on. This even includes cross-compatible Game Boy Color games.

I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]
I know the original pokemon games had boarders... I just got a super gameboy recently maybe I should go through my gameboy collection now and see what else I can find...

Basically, when you plugged Space Invaders into the Super Gameboy, you could play a version of Space Invaders full screen on your TV.

it's exactly what he says.. the SNES version of Space Invaders is actually built into the GB cart.
You could buy the full blown SNES cart, or you could access it in the GB cart via the super gameboy.
Most people don't know Super Gameboy can utilize the SNES. It's said that special mode in Space Invaders even runs an NTSC/PAL check due to being SNES data.
Accordingly to emulate Super Gameboy how real hardware behaves, you must run SNES and Gameboy simultaneously. Few authors bother with this. Instead usually loading just the border graphics tiles in a GB/GBC environment. Which loses access to all 16-bit specific features. But has the small benefit of letting borders load in GBC mode, against Nintendo specifications as there never was a Super Gameboy Color.
Lum fan.
Using the Super GameBoy is the only way I play my OG GameBoy games. Here are some fun, maybe somewhat obscure games to play. *NOTE - not all of these are SGB enhanced.
Rolan's Curse II
Operation C
Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters
Sword of Hope
Bonk's Revenge
Great Greed
Final Fantasy Adventure
Ninja Taro
Gargoyle's Quest

Mega Man V on SGB has a nice border, it's also quite fun to play. It too was built with the SGB in mind.
Well, Mortal Kombat is better with the SNES Controller. Also, Like it has been said, Pokemon
I Need a life....Wait! I DO HAVE ONE! CLASSIC GAMES ARE!
If you're playing Mortal Kombat GB on the SGB at this point, you need to go out and get better games.
