Super Mario Bros. Deluxe for Game Boy Color

This is an original video game cartridge for the Nintendo Game Boy Color system, released in 1999. The cartridge features a distinctive clear smoke-colored semi-transparent plastic shell, which was standard for specific 'dual-mode' titles that were enhanced for Game Boy Color but remained backwards compatible with original Game Boy hardware. The internal green circuit board is clearly visible, showing the ROM chips and a CR1616 save-game battery with a metallic contact arm. The adhesive front label is largely intact, displaying vibrant artwork of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Bowser, alongside the ESRB 'Everyone' rating and the Nintendo Seal of Quality. On the left side of the label, the product code 'CGB-AHYE-USA' is visible, confirming it as a North American region release. In terms of condition, the cartridge shell shows light surface scuffing consistent with age and use. The label exhibits minor fraying and silvering along the top and bottom edges, though there are no major tears or significant fading. The gold-plated contact pins at the base appear somewhat dull and may require cleaning for optimal performance. The presence of the original internal battery suggests the game can still hold saved data, though the battery life is limited due to the item's age.
