Not quite sure what you mean. If you are just asking if the Gameboy games are stretched to fit the top and bottom of the screen, then no, it keeps the same resolution as the Super Gameboy used, with borders on top and bottom as well as the sides. I understand that, as it prevents a rough image when the resolution doesn't fit. The NES, SNES, and N64 games display with borders only on the left and right as they fit the TV as is.
If you're asking if there's a mode to display the games in a stretched 16:9 ratio, then no, it will always play them in their proper 4:3 ratio with those left and right borders. The borders themselves can be turned into a black area instead of the custom Kirby artwork if you wish, but I don't think anyone would actually prefer to stretch out these games. It's certainly an improvement to me, but if you wanted to FORCE it, you could set the Wii's TV setting to 4:3 ratio and then it'll play those games in that ratio, without the borders, thus forcing the stretched image on a widescreen set.
Sure I'd love if they'd gone that extra All-Stars mile and actually remade all these games with modern 2D graphics, but this is still a VERY solid collection and much improved over Mario 25th Anniversary.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
