The '''{{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System}}''' (abbreviated as '''SNES''', '''Super NES''', or '''Super Nintendo'''), called the '''Super Famicom''' in Japan, is a video game console created by [[Nintendo]]. In early development, it was called '''Nintendo Entertainment System 2''' or '''NES2'''. The system first released in Japan on November 21, 1990, then in America on August 23, 1991, in Europe in April 1992, and in Australia in July 1992. It is the last Nintendo console that has a different design and name outside of Japan. 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 ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games, most notably ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.

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.

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 ''[[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!]]'' cartridges have this mold.
