Mode 5 is one of the hi-res background modes, meaning the horizontal resolution is 512 dots. When interlacing is enabled, the vertical resolution is also doubled. [4] Many JRPGs use Mode 5. [3] It is the second least frequently used background mode. [2] PVSnesLib currently does not support Mode 5. [1] Color Math should not be used in Mode 5.[5]

RPM Racing uses Mode 5 for gameplay.[6]
