The SP was the first Game Boy device with a rechargeable battery, and the first widely released model with an integrated screen light, starting with front lighting and later transitioning to backlighting. The light made it easier to play in low-light conditions than its predecessors, which relied on reflective screens. It was followed by the Game Boy Micro in 2005.

How to tell them apart

Yellow lid printed with SpongeBob's eyes and buck-toothed grin; yellow shell with green buttons (unconfirmed). AGS-101 tells: label on the underside reads AGS-101; backlit screen is fully black when off; the light button switches between two brightness levels (no off setting). North American AGS-101 boxes carry the text 'Now with a BRIGHTER backlit screen!'.
