{{main|Super Nintendo Entertainment System technical specifications}}
The 16-bit design of the SNES<ref>{{cite web|url=http://problemkaputt.de/fullsnes.htm|title=Fullsnes - Nocash SNES Specs|publisher=|accessdate=6 February 2015}}</ref> incorporates powerful graphics and sound co-processors that allow tiling and simulated 3D effects, a palette of 32,768 colors, and high-quality 8-channel audio. These base platform features, plus the ability to dramatically extend them all through substantial [[#Enhancement chips|chip upgrades]] inside of each cartridge, represent a leap over the 8-bit NES generation and some significant advantages over the competition such as the Sega Genesis.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.1up.com/features/ps1-turns-10 |title=PS1 10th Anniversary retrospective |author=Jeremy Parish |publisher=1UP.com|date=2005-09-06|accessdate=2007-05-27}}</ref>
