help Super Nintendo Super Advantage FAQ
What is the Super Nintendo Super Advantage?
The Super Advantage is a desktop joystick for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, made by ASCIIWare and licensed by Nintendo. It was released in North America in 1992 rather than being a graphics or audio expansion device.
Does the Super Advantage improve SNES graphics or sound?
No. It does not add Mode 7 acceleration, extra memory, or new color palettes; those claims confuse it with console hardware capabilities. The accessory changes input through an arcade-style joystick, turbo controls, and slow-motion functionality.
What controls does the Super Advantage have?
It provides an eight-direction joystick and turbo functions for the SNES action buttons, with a slow-motion switch. It is intended for one player and connects to the SNES controller port.
Which SNES games suit the Super Advantage?
Arcade-style action games and fighting games such as Street Fighter II are natural matches for its joystick and rapid-fire controls. It is less convenient than a standard SNES pad for games that rely heavily on precise diagonal D-pad movement.
