The Game Boy Camera is an accessory for the Game Boy (and compatible with the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance) released in 1998 and discontinued in 2002. The Game Boy Camera allows the user to take up to 30 grainy monochrome pictures (although that number can be increased through third-party devices) and view them and edit them on the Game Boy screen as well as print them out using the Game Boy Printer. Game Freak was involved with its development. Using the camera cartridge in a Super Game Boy or Game Boy Player allows the Game Boy Camera to perform video recording. Both the camera and the printer contain many references to the Super Mario franchise. The Japanese version can connect to Mario Artist: Paint Studio and Mario Artist: Talent Studio via Transfer Pak. In other mediaA comic called "Rummelplatzquatsch" was made to promote the Game Boy Camera in Germany, and it also featured the Game Boy Camera heavily. The comic centers around a Game Boy Camera used by a self-proclaimed fortune-teller to foresee the future. Mario falls for the trick when the Game Boy Camera depicts a toilet brush to him, and a few seconds later, such a brush is dashed into his face indeed. Immediately, he buys the Game Boy Camera, being excited about foreseeing his own future. However, the device only brings misfortune to him. After the device depicts a cake, one is thrown into his face; after the device depicts a train, he is run down by one; and so on. Trying to get rid of the Game Boy Camera, Mario returns to the fortune-teller, who turns out to be Luigi, explaining that it was just a normal Game Boy Camera he sold to Mario and that it cannot foresee the future. He attempts to prove his point by turning the device on. After it shows Poochy, suddenly a herd of dogs enters the tent. Now Luigi is terrified as well, and he and Mario run away, dropping the Game Boy Camera. At the end of the comic, the reader sees Satan's hand grabbing the Game Boy Camera, and it is explained that this is the only copy that has fallen into his hands. Gallery
