Mole Mania is an amazing DMG game that has some of the best Super Game Boy support on the system. Even on a GBC, the preset palette is great too, but it leads to an interested side effect in one of its sprite layering tricks that wasn't present on previous iterations of the hardware, so I decided to fix it!
