A simple texture mapping graphics mode on the SNES that allows a background layer to be rotated and scaled. Many game developers used this to create faux-3D worlds and environments.

Mode 7 is sort of a fake 3d that lots of NES games had I believe. For instance in the final fantasy games, when you enter your airship it goes mode 7 most of the time
It was a simple graphics mode that the SNES could use that essentially allowed sprites to appear as if in motion over a flat, scrolling image of a landscape, like the tracks in F-Zero.
