What is Mode 7?

What is Mode 7?

I heard this term used a lot when describing the graphical feature for the Super Nintendo.

What kind of benefits does a game get when using Mode 7?

Watch the intro to Seiken Densetsu 3 for SNES, or watch the jet bike race in Chrono Trigger. Those are perfect examples of Mode 7.

Mode 7 can basicaly be thought of as being able to deal with a 2d plane in 3d. It was a well used feature of the SNES for psudo-3d.
