'''''Satella-Q''''' ('''サテラＱ''' ''Satera Q'') is a series of quiz game events for the [[Satellaview]], an add-on for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]]. The game features [[Toad]] as the primary character, guiding players through the quizzes and [[minigame]]s.

During the Satellaview's early years, [[St.GIGA]] broadcasted quiz events called '''''Waiwai de Q''''' ('''わいわいでＱ'''), which would phase into being called "Satella-Q" after the third event. These aired in periodic intervals, unlike their traditional Soundlink broadcasts wherein the episodes were played week-by-week until the conclusion.

The game used the Satellaview's Soundlink technology to give the presentation of a quiz game show, with announcers presenting the questions for players to answer and music ranging from various sources ranging from classical to J-Pop to British Rock given use, sometimes playing key roles in the quizzes themselves.

Each episode was split into "rounds" that consisted of various types of quizzes, both in "multiple-choice" and "type-out the answer" forms, which ranged from Japanese cultural trivia to guessing the contents of obscured photorealistic pictures. 

Sometimes non-quiz minigames would also be played, including one where players must move Toad through an area resembling a pool table, collecting the balls that the on-screen HUD requests. Another one features a game of cards that uses Poker cards with [[Yoshi]] on their backs.

==Episode listings==
Satella-Q is the longest-running of all the Satellaview broadcasts and has the most episodes.
The original "Waiwai de Q" was the third Soundlink broadcast St. GIGA aired, while the last "Satella-Q" event was the very last.

Before the October 1995 broadcast, there were a handful of even earlier Satellaview quiz games under the name of "Satella-Q". However, these versions did not feature Toad (or any other ''Mario'' elements), and worked slightly differently than the later Toad versions.<ref>https://youtu.be/cFflFLAWU7o</ref>

{{rewrite|better describe the images|section=yes}}
*In an episode of "Satellawalker 2 - Sate Bou wo Sukuedase!", Satella-Q's Event Plaza, the giant "Q" tower, is one of the decaying Event Plaza buildings hidden under the lake. Satella-Q's Event Plaza becomes BS Super Mario USA's Event Plaza and the giant "Q" tower becomes Birdo tower. The Birdo it depicts has a buff, masculine build, continuing the running joke regarding Birdo's ambiguous gender.
