Super Mario Kart - good to see this is winning so far. best game ever. I remember placing bets on battle mode.
Super Metroid - only type of game similar to Castlevania that I would actually admit could be a better series...
Final Fantasy 2/4 - "Cecil, I am your father.... brother!"
Final Fantasy 3/6
Secret of Mana
Chrono Trigger
Street Fighter - If you know me.....
Other - All the Castlevania series
Other - not officialy imported or translated. - My first thought, Dracula X: Rondo's blood.


Game I havent voted but deserves mentioning...

Super Knockout
Starfox
Earthbound
Breath of Fire (1 or 2)
Super Mario World - would have voted for it, but didnt play as much as games above so...
Yoshi's Island
F-Zero - Good, but not as good as mario kart
Zelda: A link to the past - Only zelda game I enjoyed. That deserves something..

I have to agree with Zero that Super Mario Kart is the best game EVER on SNES-man, the fun, excitment, the insanity...great great game.

Ogre Battle is also a top notch game.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

FF6, the greatest adventure-RPG ever (and one of the funniest).

Super Mario World
Legend of Zelda: LTP
SimEarth (much better on the eyes than the old computer version)
Ogre Battle
Super Metroid
Crrono Trigger

EVO was fun, but I hated the bosses (especially the queen wasp at the end of the late Paleozoic world) and the developers had made a lot of mistakes with the scientific names and the underlying science behind the game.

iirc in evo there was a creature which totally owned the queen wasp but it was really hard to get. when i played evo i used zsnes with save states so i found optimal creatures very quick. heh.

SNES Super Mario Kart's battle arenas were better than N64 Super Mario Kart's. However, the N64 version had better graphics and atmosphere (as you might expect).

The n64 version was more fun to play in race mode, in battle arena mode though, I give it all up to the SNES.

Those are both mentioned in the NES thread.

I don't think there was a SNES version of Double Dragon. (and I take whoever's word that Battle Toads is a NES game...)

Another couple games that I think are probably worth mentioning, although not my cup of tea (I enjoyed them, but not to the point I would even consider them for the 'best'):

Clayfighter and Killer Instinct.

My friend was addicted to the game and seized the controller (it was his snes and his copy)
I was stuck w/ an NES and so my only option was to go and play Dragon Warrior, which wasn't so bad, but from wha ti've heard Secret of Mana is better.

I played the n64 versions of both. I loved clayfighter b/c it was really funny and had a great atmosphere. but KI gold on the n64 was jsut kind of boring after a few minutes and didn't keep me glued ot the screen as long as clayfighter did, besides the fact thta I was able ot beat clayfighter MUCH faster.

The big thing about Killer Instinct was it's graphics, i think. Which obviously wouldn't be such a feat on the n64 version (I didn't know there was one).

I liked that space car game, I forgot the title... F-Zero?

Ogre Battle is probably the only game I owned and never finished. I never could figure how to keep my reputation high as in positive, it always would plummel to zero resulting in unfavorable circumstances for my leader. Ah well.

yeah probably f-zero(though it's anti-gravity racing not space!).

for a simple explanation about ogre battle reputation - it's basically be as weak as possible(beat all the boards without killing all the enemies so you don't level up. it's best to be lower level than what you are fighting), and you want to match the ali of your units to the town you take over. your level doesn't seem that important but matching unit ali(or maybe it was just the unit leaders ali) to town is critical.

of course near the middle to end of the game this is near impossible as most units will either aproach 100 ali(pure good) or 0 ali(pure evil) and most towns are not near either of those. you can take units from opposite ali units and mix them up resulting in middle ali numbers but that's a lot of micromanagement(and usually those units will eventually go to 0 or 100 ali again). plus afaik there is a hidden modifier which effects unit cohesion so it's bad to keep characters jumping unit to unit.

it is possible to win with a good reputation but doesn't seem nearly as fun as being super powerful and pure evil.

There was this game called Earthworm Jim that had it's fun areas, looked really good for the time also. I could never get past that damn level where you ride a glass bubble submarine and get somewhere fast enough.
