I had this idea for a long time but never got around to implementing this technically unused display mode. Implementing and activating it in games as an effect was relatively easy. Nintendo could have implemented a SGB command "SCREEN" which could have set up various screen effects. I guess they didn't even think about this possibility. Several SNES games actually do implement mosaic effects for transitioning in and out of areas. Super Mario World more thna likely turned a few heads when it was first seen, and I reckon that is the best widely known example. A Link to the Past is another example. Tetris & Dr. Mario as well.
This mode is possible to display using original hardware. You will need a Pro Action Replay MK 2 or 3 cartridge because they contain and support games with expansion pins, unlike the Game Genie where the effects of this display mode would be hampered by the video signal desynch issues caused by poorly grounded pins.
Now you can play Game Boy games in mosaic mode!
