SNES Mode7 Graphics are a special format that the SNES uses ONLY while in Graphics Mode 7. This special mode of the SNES allows you to rotate, stretch, and otherwise manipulate Background Layer 1. However, this comes at a price. While in Mode 7, you may only have 2 layers: Layer 1, and the sprite layer.
