The official Super Nintendo Cleaning Kit was Nintendo's solution to the perennial problem of dirty cartridge contacts — the source of most "my game won't load" issues in the cartridge era. The kit typically included a cleaning cartridge that you'd insert into the SNES to clean the cartridge slot contacts, plus cleaning solution and swabs for the cartridge pins themselves. Before the internet told everyone to just blow into the cartridge (which Nintendo specifically said NOT to do), this was the official way to maintain your SNES. A piece of Nintendo's hardware care ecosystem that most people have long forgotten. Cleanliness is next to gaming godliness.
