The DS even had backwards compatibility with the GBA. I think it didn't work with GB/C games though for some reason.
Someone else already pointed out that the Super Nintendo wasn't backwards compatible. The SNES' competitor was backwards compatible though -- an optional accessory for the Mega Drive/Genesis allowed you to play Master System games!
GBC cartridges require an extra notch that wasn't included on GBA cartridges. You physically can't fit a GBC cartridge into a DS without a dremel tool
Would they work if you managed to get them plugged in?
Personally, I've never felt the urge to try because it'd ruin a GBC cartridge and my GBA SP still works fine to this day
