My favorite SNES game ever was and is King of Dragons. It is a style that I hope to emulate and improve upon in my future games.
It's of the beatemup genre but it's NOT of the "mash the buttons until you ruin your keyboard/controller style"
King of Dragons is the most balanced and time tested fun game that I've ever played. The replay value is fantastic. You get to choose from 4 different characters, and they each have their own style. There's an elf, wizard, warrior, and a cleric. Cleric and Warrior get shields that you can block with while the wizard and elf have range attacks. But of all that is great about this game, it amazes me at how it's tough to beat the game even on easy, yet if you are incredibly good and maybe a little lucky, it is quite possible to complete the entire game on the highest difficulty without ever getting hit. Now that's balance!
There's very few games out there with this kind of quality.
Your Turn! Post your favorite Snes game and Why you like it so much.
Blood of the Ancient One, Seen only as Shadow, Faster than Lightning, Fierce as the Greatest Dragon, Nearly Invisible, Floating in a Dream, Entered through the Demon Door, Destroyer of Evil in a Realm with a Red Sky Scarred, Who could I be ?
Goof Troop was pretty high on my list. (Awesome game, I recommend it)
B.O.B. - One of my firsts. Neat atmosphere
Star Fox - Given
Super Mario All Stars - Buncha mario classics
SMW - Given
Super Mario kart - Given
MMX - Given
Cold Shadow - Also had a nice atmosphere. Something a little unusual.
I could go on... but I can't remember them all. I just set the SNES up downstairs, I need to dust off the ol' controllers and play again!
I never owned a SNES (Amiga child ) but I used to love playing through Mario World at a mates house. Bought Link to the Past, Yoshis Island and Mario World on GBA and Virtual Console since then.
But Mario World gets my vote. Just flat out the best Mario title ever... Except for maybe Mario 3 or Galaxy.
Yea ... Super Mario World comes in a close second to King of Dragons imho ... Third on my list fo Snes would probably be Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Street Fighter 2: Turbo could be 4th.
I heard that Super Mario RPG is good, but I still have never played it.
Edit: wait no .. Super Mario Kart 4th ... then SF2: Turbo 5th
LoL! .. the list just keeps getting bigger.

I didn't know what a video game was until my dad's former manager gave us an old beat up SNES. This was probably around '99. I always thought the kids at school were talking about a Weebles space station toy when they said "Playstation." It was about two years later I found TGF1 and now I'm thinking about developing vidier games for a living!
Anyway, that's why the SNES holds such a special place in my heart.
Funny little story... (stop me if I've told you, I think I may have) we stopped by an old video store a few years back on a long haul to Indiana. They were selling off their stock of SNES games for $5 each, and we were each allowed to buy one with our own money. I got All Stars, sis got Looney Toons B-ball (Another AWESOME game) and my brother couldn't decide between MMX and MMX3. Logically he chose the first one. We found out later that MMX3 is worth at least $50 in most cases.
I shall return later today when I have refreshed my memory of which games I own.
I owned a Megadrive and didn't really play many Snes games until I discovered the wonders of Emulation. I did play a lot of Mortal Kombat 2 round a friends house one night. Just couldn't beat the last boss.
I actually quite liked playing Mario paint. Mainly for the music composer section. The three main Final Fantasy games are pretty good. Oh and I guess chrono trigger too since i actually own that on my Ds now.
I had a lot of fun playing though Kirby's dreamland 3. I really liked super mariokart for a while too.

No. They're similar but different enough that you've got to play both. I own both of them, also another one on my favorite list. In fact, I was "boo-bah-bah-doo"'ing the title theme this morning.
You have to play an SNES with an SNES controller to get the full awesomeness, emulation is garbage compared to the real thing.

I know whats you means. I much prefer playing a classic system to its emulated twin. I guess it depends on what you first played it on too... The GBA was the first system which I played SNES classics on so for me that feels like the original version. If that makes any sense
