characters to take up the whole screen, and multiple foreground and background parallax layers to give a greater illusion of depth.
This chip went through three revisions, first starting out as a chip-on-board epoxy glob-top in the earliest Star Fox cartridges, labeled as Mario Chip-1 (Mathematical, Argonaut, Rotation & I/O). Within a year, the chip was given a more conventional surface-mount package with the designation GSU-1, commonly called the Super FX. Both versions are clocked with a 21 MHz signal, but an internal clock speed divider halved it to 10.5 MHz. Later on, the design was revised to become the GSU-2, known as the Super FX 2 which was still 16bit,but Unlike the earlier Super FX chips, this version was able to reach 21 MHz. All versions of the Super FX chip are functionally compatible in terms of their instruction set. The differences arise in how they are packaged, their pin out, and their internal clock speed.
