the SNES' resolution is kinda interesting. internally it's 256x224, an 8:7 aspect ratio, then it gets stretched to 4:3. that's why you might've noticed some weirdness with the squareness of pixels sometimes; often the devs would be looking at the "true" resolution while making art. some accounted for it correctly, some had mixes of both

    lol, i had a hi-vis job at one time and they didn't give much of a break for how much work it was, so there was an inside thing with my coworkers where if you wanted to take a break, group up and just point at certain things while you're talking. would buy us a good 20 minutes before we started to get looks and we'd scatter
