SNES Snapshot GX

Description
The SNES Snapshot GX is a rumored camera-based addition to the SNES console, being a cartridge add-on that clips between the console and the cartridge similar to a GameGenie. The camera was theorized to be used with a facial recognition system that would alter the game being played based on the player’s visible enjoyment.

Face Drawing
The developers intended to use special software within the system of the Photography application, which featured a character resembling Mario. He worked like a computer assistant, and the game allowed you to use the function to draw over a screenshot of your face. This software, along with the GX snapshot, was also scrapped in favor of Mario Paint, which would take from Face Drawing and expand off of it.

Personalization and Face Recognition
In Super Mario World, the GX Snapshot can customize the game by using your face to control enemy speed and terrain movement. This was usually very dangerous to use, however, because it could cause overheat in the system from such large memory storage.

High pitched sound
If the camera did not work or was disconnected, it would make a high-pitched sound similar to that of a CRT television, which gave play testers migraines and pains of the sort.

Overheating CPU
If the face recognition was used for 3 hours or more without break, the system would start to overheat, burning the plastic case around the system because of complex memory storage, or too much data being present at once. A tamer consequence, the system may have simply stopped working altogether and shut off.
