#game boy advance video

[nintendroid]

Before streaming services, in-between satellite TV and DVDs, you had Game Boy Advance Video. Whenever you didn't feel like playing through Pokemon Emerald, you could watch some grainy, 30 FPS episodes of Dragon Ball GT on your favorite handheld console.

It was such an afterthought to Nickelodeon, that they overlooked a pretty big flub for a Spongebob Squarepants episode that was released.

Located on this Nicktoons compilation is an episode of Spongebob that has a "Smell-o-Vision" graphic from 1999 that wasn't edited out.

(actual GBA on left, emulated ROM on the right)

What the heck was Smell-o-Vision?

Smell-o-Vision was this funny promotion that Nickelodeon did with the help of Kraft foods. Kids would buy specially-marked boxes of Lunchables, Fruity Pebbles, ect and get a "Smell-o-Vision" card.

Then on selected dates, "Smell-o-Vision" episodes of Nicktoons would air. Whenever the nose and the number graphic popped up, you pulled the corresponding card, scratched and sniffed it. The corresponding numbers were important because there was good and bad smells. Wild Thornberries could be prompting you to smell wildflowers blowing in the breeze, but your card is a fart squeezed out by Stu Pickles during an episode of Rugrats.

This promotion came and went in a short time in 1999. Game Boy Advance Video came out in 2004. How did this mistake make it through? Surely Nickelodeon had a clean master copy of the "Squeaky Boots" episode to lend to Majesco. Laziness? Incompetence? Who knows. Regardless, it's at least funny.
