Formerly 'o'dium'
The only correct choices are DKC2, Super Metroid and Zelda:LTTP

This is not an opinion.

It is fact.

I haven't beat most of those games in 20 years.. it doesn't make much sense for me to vote since I doubt I'd agree with my younger self if I beat them again today.

I did play super mario world through on the 3ds and it was great, I cheated though and used restore points. /sigh

Lol impossible to choose only one.

For me is a tie between dk2/yoshi island/sf2 turbo/killer instinct/mk3/super mario bros 3/donald duck in maui mallard but i'm probably forgetting some big game...

SMB3's monkey organ grinder-quality music alone should disqualify it.

Plus I don't like how the physics for all three were homogenized whereas the original three (well, four including Lost Levels) each had their quirks and unique feel.

Only 3...and where the heck is Actraiser and SimCity...and FZero and Pilotwings? 😉 Holy cow, I need to get this system hooked back up and play before Animal Crossing takes all my time away from me.

Never played Actraiser.

But when YT popped up and you could check out games, like everyone I'd randomly YT games and see what I missed.

Got to say that if I heard this trumpet intro in 1991, I'd be amazed. SNES had such better sound quality (brass instruments) than Genesis.

I went:
- Chrono Trigger (the best RPG)
- Donkey Kong Country 2 (the best platformer)
- Super Mario All-Stars (the best value package, especially as mine included Super Mario World)

Other choices I considered:
- Street Fighter II (just iconic and the best fighting game on the SNES from my experience)
- TLoZ:ALttP or Super Metroid (best adventure game)
- Yoshi's Island (best visual marble)

I dunno; the Genesis games that used the GEMS engine never sounded too good, but the ones that actually used the hardware right could get some really good sounds in there. A bit unfair to compare them on sound quality tho, SNES is sample-based while Genesis used FM (frequency modulation) synthesis.

Also I just remembered, why no Illusion of Gaia, OP :pie_smirking: ? Game's got a great story and some fun boss battles, probably one of the top 5 action-RPGs on the system after LTTP of course. I'd put Gunman's Proof in there and liked it for the bit I got a chance to play, but didn't finish it.

Very hard to choose. SNES is home of most of my favorite games of all time. That said, Super Metroid is the one that I enjoy replaying the most, I will use that criteria to point the best one, for now.
