Yeah, what he said.
Best.Game.Ever.
The Donkey Kong Games are good too.
I second Super Metroid and Link to the Past.
I also liked Final Fantasy 2,
I may have my boxes mixed up, so forgive me…I thought Legend of Zelda was an original NES game, not SNES.
But if SNES is what I think it is – then ditto for F-zero, Mario Kart. Also recommended:
Bubsy
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
I can’t believe we got this far into the thread and no mention of Secret of Mana.
Best. Action RPG. Ever.
I’ll also put in a second in on Earthbound and Contra III. Quirky RPGs and fantastic shooters never go out of style.
Let me also suggest Smash TV. If you like Contra III, you’ll love Smash TV.
Chrono Trigger was my first thought too! I still have my old one somewhere at home. I only wish that my SNES still worked!
I also loved The Secret of Mana. It was great and I would play it again if I find another SNES.
Nice. We both thought of the same game at the same time!
Another game that I had forgotten about is Super Bomberman. I spent so much time on that game…and I can’t remember if I ever beat it.
Secret of Mana rocks, as does Seiken Densetsu 3.
Also, check out NBA hangtime. It’s an N64 port to SNES, but it’s still 100x better than NBA jam.
Super Mario Kart!! best game ever.
Street Fighter II Turbo (and later versions)
Super Bomberman w/ 4 player multitap
Who cares? Four player was where that game was at!
Good call, we seem to have pretty similar tastes in games.
No one’s mentioned the Lufia games yet… especially the second one. Second on all of the great RPGs already mentioned, of course.
I always end up playing games like Gradius and U.N. Squadron too much when I pull my SNES out, but I think that’s more a result of them being mindless and relaxing than good 
-K.
I always thought UN squadron and Gradius 3 (best video game music ever!) rocked.
I have a question.
There was a shooter (the view was overhead, not side) and it had a ton of mode 7 in it. I think it started with the letter “T”, but I can’t recall. Damn it was soooo good.
So much mode 7
Since nobody has mentioned it yet, I’ll throw another one out there that should be fairly cheap and easy to find:
Super Star Wars
I’d avoid Super ESB and Super ROTJ, but the first one is really great.
I personally rather liked it, probably because of the mythic story invovling all those interesting places on earth such as the Pyramids, Ankor Wat, the Nazca lines, Machu Piccu, the Great Wall and Easter Island(otherwise known as MU).
Terraenigma is pretty much a sequel, at least in style if not in story. Push the history of the world along by killing things.
Final Fantasy Anthology, the one with 5 and 6, is on the PlayStation 2 “negative list”, meaning that it is one of a handful of games not guaranteed to work properly on a PS2. In this case, you are likely to have graphical corruption on the menu screen, and you may also have problems saving.
