Several years ago when I was writing articles for a website that is dedicated to unused content in videogames, (well, actually it may have been a year or two before that site existed), I was annoyed by the fact that game developers cheapened out on proper Super Game Boy Support in their games (more on that another time because I actually plan on doing a well-written entry conveying every possible detail) and how many disabled palettes in their games where it was in most cases unacceptable.
Here is a complete list of games and Game Genie codes that will enable palette selection, and in some cases actually disable them as it was unused in the game's listing. Believe it or not, a few games actually use a more useless function that swaps the user's palette settings back to the one the game provides whenever it changes in-game. Amazing, right? Even more useless is that games disable the ability to use border screensavers. What was Nintendo thinking when they were designing the Super Game Boy? My best guess is that it was a rushed project because it is a wholly mess of incomplete functions and unused features, including the OBJ_TRN mode, which I will explain in another entry.
NOTE: You will have to physically modify the bottom of the Game Genie in order to fit it into a Super Game Boy. The Codebreaker is a more permanent option but the code format is different (which I cracked. It was relatively easy https://gamehacking.org/vb/forum/video-game-hacking-and-development/hacker-threads/13028-nensondubois-codes) and it supports several more patch codes and RAM based injections simultaneously.
Games that disable both controller and palettes will not be distinguished, but only game and is a sister set "Tokimeki Memorial Pocket" actually does solely disable the user's ability to set the controller selection. The most probable reason is because it is a quiz game and pressing the wrong button would have hindered progress?

There are a handful of other games that disable palettes and contain unused enable / disable commands in their internal command packet listings, this is the bulk of the games spanning both GB and GBC. I will add the rest once I find them in my notes from several years ago, if not then I will recreate them to complete the listing.
