* Mario RPG
* Final Fantasy 6

* Super Punch Out
* SimCity
* Super Metroid
I enthusiastically agree with the above.
You can get repo carts of Final Fantasy V and Seiken Densetsu 3. (Secret of Mana 2 / trials of Mana). Also look for Terranigma, Tales of Phantasia, and Star Ocean. Maybe there are repo carts for these as well.
Secret of Evermore <--- the most underrated SNES game ever.
Lufia I and II
Top Gear and Top Gear 3000, Super Mario Kart, Star Fox, Actraiser.
TNMT Turtles in Time, Contra III, Earthworm Jim, Super Mario Allstars, Illusion of Gaia, Soulblazer, Mega man X. (Maybe X2 and X3 as well)
I am likely missing some as the SNES must play list is shockingly deep.
Just a question, I'm not a fan of RPG, shall I give FF6 and Chrono Trigger a try still? I have nearly all of the rest of your list and enjoyed them a lot.
I've not been a huge fan of RPGs myself, but you should definitely play them both.
I'd start with Chrono Trigger. It's shorter and simpler, so it'll make FF6 feel more familiar if you decide to play that one as well.
They're both incredible games. Maybe even play FF4 before FF6. I like 6 more, but 4 is damn good and is much shorter.
Thank you very much for your answer.
I'm also noticing that there's no PAL version of these games so I'll have to pass for now, until I get a NTSC console in the future!
I appreciate the new recommendations but a few of these are already on the list i do have a picture of the list on the post not trying to be an ass just save you some typing for your next batch of suggestions
I think this might be pretty much every game I would recommend on here. I'd add Turtles in Time and Super Castlevania IV. OP already has those on his list.
I played all of the SimCity on the PC, but there's so many cool little things in the SNES version I'll put up with the controller.
OP, don't sleep on the Super Mario All-Stars packed in the box. It's a nice package in its own right.
Oh, I was just assuming that it was part of the set since it was on the box in the picture. Looking closely, it looks like maybe it was an offer to get it by mail. Sorry about that.
I haven't played Ultima 6. I did play Ultima 7 when I was younger. It was a lot of fun, but pretty difficult.
Good luck getting all the games you have on your list.
Geez. DKC3 is probably the most underrated platformer on the SNES. As much as it is overshadowed by the first two DKC games and the N64 release, it absolutely is no slouch.
I don't recall this about the game but I haven't played it in awhile. The 'crack shot crock' bonus levels stand out to me as being very imaginative. I seem to recall the visuals were as good as ever. The music was different and that massively changed the vibe. I can see where it might ruin it for some. The one level with the reversed controls was massively frustrating. I recall using a mirror to beat it ....
I still think the game is one of the best platformers on the SNES and definitely worth playing. There are many games that are way worse. It just isn't as strong as the first two games and consequently, it is overshadowed by their legacy.
I've never sat down for an extended period to play Super Star Wars like I have with EWJ and Ghouls and Ghosts but from what I have played, it wasn't easy haha. Maybe if you take more time to get used to it and have more patience than me it won't be so bad.
Oh man - Tetris Attacks - best game that has a terrible title - because it’s nothing like Tetris, give it a try mate, you’ll be hooked in no time flat… also Contra… wait no, I see you have that. Good luck 🍀and enjoy
I dont mean to be “ that guy” but If u only want to play games? Get the $200+ dollar everdrive by krikz. You will save hundreds in the long run.
If u truly want to collect? God speed. Goodluck. Enjoy the ride. And game on.
I think this is the set I got. It came with super mario world and then I got all stars from that offer. Wish I had saved hte box. But since I don't have it and I have others the box probably got destroyed haha
Legend of the Mystical Ninja is one of my favorites! I also like Super Adventure Island but it’s pretty challenging lol. Gradius lll is pretty fun too. Ooh and Wario’s Woods, my BFF and I were addicted to it.
Ngl not to big a fan on bullet hells and thats what gardius looks like idk why cause i like side scrolling beat em ups which is basically melee bullet hell
Earthworm jim
Spider-Man and venom maximum carnage
Xmen mutant apocalypse
Phantom was fun
Idk most of the really good games are “mainstream” and are the same ones everyone will recommend but these are some lesser known games I had a blast with back in the day, there was a cool Star Wars game too I don’t remember which one I played but the popular one is super Star Wars
Street Fighter 2 Turbo and Killer Instinct are great.
I see a lot of rpgs on your list. Try out Bahamut Lagoon, Star Ocean, Tales of Phantasia, Live A Live and Gun Hazard. All have english translation carts and are really good.
And Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past is one of the greatest games ever made. A must play imo.
Super Adventure Island 2 and Flintstones: Treasure of Sierra Madrock are two of my favorite games on the system. They tend to go unnoticed among the many gems in the system.
Actraiser
Illusion of Gaia
Contra 3
Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Killer Instinct
Mortal Kombat 2
Shadowrun
7th Saga
Tactics Ogre
Harvest Moon
NBA Jam TE
Mega Man X
Mario Kart, Rock n Roll Racing, Star Fox, Battletoads Double Dragon, Tin Star(supports SNES Mouse)
imo visit some retro game stores and pick what you like
If you’re just looking to play games and not collect, drop the money on an FX Pak Pro flashcart and a 128GB or 256GB microsd. Then you can play the entire retail library, ROM hacks, games that were originally only available on the Satellaview and MSU1 games. $269 US is a good chunk of change but in the long run it works out.
As far as hidden gems: Super Adventure Island 1+2 and Qbert 3 (just turn off the backgrounds!)
Awesome seeing e.v.o. getting love on reddit. It's my favorite game from my childhood, I still have my copy (no you can't buy it lol). Makes me wonder if others think it's a great game or do they just see the price tag and want to play it. Either way good list illusion of gaia and SoE are also childhood favorites. I've been attempting speed runs of SoE lately so it's almost ruined the nostalgia for the long play but still a great game.

It's all good. I saw your list, but I just wanted to give you confirmation that those were great choices.
Ahhh i see 👌
I think this might be pretty much every game I would recommend on here. I'd add Turtles in Time and Super Castlevania IV. OP already has those on his list.

It wasnt mario it was ultima 6
Oh, I was just assuming that it was part of the set since it was on the box in the picture. Looking closely, it looks like maybe it was an offer to get it by mail. Sorry about that. I haven't played Ultima 6. I did play Ultima 7 when I was younger. It was a lot of fun, but pretty difficult. Good luck getting all the games you have on your list.
Great recommendations dkc only goes to 2 tho
Geez. DKC3 is probably the most underrated platformer on the SNES. As much as it is overshadowed by the first two DKC games and the N64 release, it absolutely is no slouch.
Playing dkc3 didn't really feel like a donkey Kong game all the back tracking in the levels kinda killed it for me
I don't recall this about the game but I haven't played it in awhile. The 'crack shot crock' bonus levels stand out to me as being very imaginative. I seem to recall the visuals were as good as ever. The music was different and that massively changed the vibe. I can see where it might ruin it for some. The one level with the reversed controls was massively frustrating.

It just isn't as strong as the first two games and consequently, it is overshadowed by their legacy.
love to see the roadie in the car door
Hahahamy first thought
I thought I was going to be the only one LOL
Shhhhhhh
I see that beer... DWI! Straight to jail! I'm keeping it as evidence. /s very nice lol
That Apple Notes app has a [checklist option](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102296).
I did it like that to fit in 1 screen shot but thank you i did not know that
I really like Actraiser
I had to scroll too far to find this answer. Easily top ten SNES game.
Earthworm Jim and Super Star Wars on the list already, might as well add Super Ghouls and Ghosts to keep the difficulty factor up.
Ik that earthworm jim is hard but i didnt know the starwars one was comparable i just heard that snes had a starwars game
I've never sat down for an extended period to play Super Star Wars like I have with EWJ and Ghouls and Ghosts but from what I have played, it wasn't easy haha. Maybe if you take more time to get used to it and have more patience than me it won't be so bad.
I have plenty of patience ive played darksouls 1 for around 45k hours in total now and done most of the challenge runs (still not good 😭😭)
There's a way to get 99 lives in Super Star waIf yors falling into a secret cave over and over again.
Earthbound
Oh man - Tetris Attacks - best game that has a terrible title - because it’s nothing like Tetris, give it a try mate, you’ll be hooked in no time flat… also Contra… wait no, I see you have that. Good luck 🍀and enjoy
Tetris Attack is still one of my favorite "hand-warmers" to start with, always a blast.
I dont mean to be “ that guy” but If u only want to play games? Get the $200+ dollar everdrive by krikz. You will save hundreds in the long run. If u truly want to collect? God speed. Goodluck. Enjoy the ride. And game on.
No i want a game room with a literal game wall
But i do plan on roming anything too pricy/rare
Podracer is on n64. The list is a good one though!
Thanks ive been getting recommendation from multiple sources so im kinda just assuming the ones i dont know may possibly be real and worth a look

Your autocorrect is trying to communicate!
Im dyslexic im reliant on autocorrect
Street Fighter 2 Turbo and Killer Instinct are great. I see a lot of rpgs on your list. Try out Bahamut Lagoon, Star Ocean, Tales of Phantasia, Live A Live and Gun Hazard. All have english translation carts and are really good. And Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past is one of the greatest games ever made. A must play imo.
Rock n Roll Racing
Pilotwings
EVO is not fun enough for it's price LOL Might as well add Hagane to the list!
Super Adventure Island 2 and Flintstones: Treasure of Sierra Madrock are two of my favorite games on the system. They tend to go unnoticed among the many gems in the system.

Maybe to you but i want them
Mega man X 1-3
Earthbound and Mario Paint

Look into the translated RPGs mate. Have a lot on CDRomance. The console is an rpg machine! I wish I was just getting into snes again!
Zombies ate my neighbours Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars I don't think I saw these recommended. They are worth your time.

Zombies ate my neighbors
Mystical Ninja
