Well of course you did because that's the consoles name that's why. It's the nerdy gamers who were 45 still living in their mom's basement and try to shorten it to show off to their friends and think it makes them look cool... But I was it really does is justify the fact why he's 45 and still a virgin
I also remember just calling it super nintendo bk then when it was actually current. Seems like the shortened nicknames for it is a new school thing. Remember, we were coming from (original) Nintendo bk then. Kids said the whole title to make sure you knew they upgraded to Super!
Leaving Secret of Mana off this list is criminal...mindblowing gameplay and music compositions for its time. Honorable mentions need to go to Turtles in Time, Killer Instinct/Mortal Kombat 2, Pilot Wings and Starfox
na, to be honest, there are better action rpgs on the system. One that immediately comes to mind is Terranigma, which never got a stateside release, as Nintendo supposedly stopped releasing SNES games in favor of promoting N64 games.
@@reidsimonson no it's not... it just has a cool graphic style. Most space shooters are much better than those games. Starfox is just a nostalgic game for people
Out of this World for the SNES was a good game. It may not be a household name and may not be top 10, but I think it was one of the 1st 3D cinematic games that predates Metal Gear Solid that took advantage of the power of the 16 bit console at the time.
@CPoston420 Nintendo purposely censored the blood and the way the fatalities worked in the SNES version of MK II so it was beyond LAME! Playable but VERY Lame! 😒 Sega Genesis version was Superior! 😎
@@bradleymcavoy3432 Nintendo's always had that policy, officially they claimed they wanted their games oriented to all family of all ages, obviously what made Mortal Kombat was because of the blood originally in the arcade, everyone was pissed at Nintendo for censoring the blood... But, that's not just the MK series getting a dose of more censorship out of Nintendo, ever tried Ninja Gaiden Trilogy on the SNES ?? All three of the NInja Gaiden games they transplanted for a version on the SNES, sounds effects went bad, and when it comes to the blood, they changed it from red to green... They still improved the continue system, originally the third game had only a limited set of continue, but this time it was unlimited like the two others, there's now a password system that was added... But, back to Mortal Kombat, the SNES ain't much, you'd get it better on Sega Genesis, they played MK as the way everyone wanted they used to see back in the arcades....
Starfox is not a good game. It's just got cool graphics and atmosphere. But as far as a flying shoot em up it actually plays very poorly compared to other games in that genre.
Sim Ant was way better than Sim City. Also MK3. Mana series games, Primal Rage, Battle Toads and Double Dragon, Breath of Fire II, Doom, Tetris Attack, X-Men Mutant Apocalypse this list is borderline insulting.
1991-1995 really was a golden age for creativity. Artists, designers and composers coming together to create many, many labours of love on a console that was worthy. High quality with high output. Honestly, you can do a top-50 for SNES and the drop-off in quality is insignificant. Many classics and many excellent games. And there's something about the vibrant 2D pixel-art that has remained timeless even as the technology has increased.
Yep, but I'd say the legacy of SNES was continued by PS1 up until early 2000s. Oerall 90s was the best time for video games and modern culture overall.
Crono Trigger was such an experience. I played it with a friend. Very good game to have a friend to get through it all with. That and Zelda. Stayed up all night many nights with those.
My all-time favorite, hands down. I spent hours and hours on that game, collected all the items, maxed out my characters, and finished ALL the endings. A masterpiece.
just 1 player, took turns or just watched eachother, both of us experiencing the game almost like a movie and both thinking parts through together.@@samu-chan
Dude for sure. The amount of 80s kids that actually played this in the 90s is really small, it was pretty unknown. But those in the know + everyone playing it in the decades sense....know Lufia 2 is S-Tier Snes, and S-Tier JRPG. For me, it's third, behind Chrono and FF6, I've thought a lot about it. I was 16ish when I played it in the 90s, so I'm wondering if the protagonists being kids was it. Dunno. It's still Top5 RPG of all time for me too.
Lufia was great, but even on replay nothing touching chrono trigger, to me greatest 16 bit game ever made for any console. I would had left ff4. And put in secret of Mana in. Supermario World was better than link to a past, considering replay of games.
Actraiser and Turtles in Time would have made my top 20, but great list nonetheless....that's the problem with making a top 20 list for arguably one of the greatest consoles ever made. The game library for this system is legendary and doesn't have many comparable. As far as sports games go, I can't even fathom how many hours I played Ken Griffey Jr. Presents MLB and the Tecmo Super Bowls. As mentioned by some others Secret of Mana was a great RPG, I would also toss in Ilusions of Gaia, Soul Blazer, Terranigma, and Breath of Fire series. Also, not counting games like Sunset Riders, Wild Guns, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Goof Troop, Pocky & Rocky, or Super Turrican.
I think truly with how many valuable, wonderful games there are it should have been something like a top 30,40, or even 50. The catalog for SNES is massive and there are soooooo many gems
The SNES had so many note worthy RPGs, the FF series and Chrono Trigger being some of my all-time favorite RPGs to date. Another that I think falls into that same level of awesomeness was Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals. Beyond Oasis was another action RPG that I always thought came close to Zelda.

Contra 3 is number one for me. I used to beat it by myself. Two players is harder because you have to stay on the screen at the same time and work cohesively
No UN Squadron or Ninja Warriors?! If you haven't played these 2, they'll make your top 15--if not top 10...Ninja Warriors is my best game of all time! It may require doing some research on all of the moves, but--once you can do them--this one will blow you away on the fun factor! And, I like UN Squadron better than Contra 3.

Did you know the creator of Earthbound is a major celebrity in Japan? He has done films including the voice of the dad in Totoro? He is also a creative marketing genius, and all this ties into why the game went from nothing to a legendary untouched masterpiece in the states: all of his experience, especially the creative marketing part, he was able to express in the game like he does in his career. While only dabbling in programming, he was best friends with Iwata who he called to fix and ultimately save the game from demise. The game is the only rivaled by two other games FF6 and CT. It had a dream team as well too.
Yep, Shigesato Itoi is very talented when it comes to game design. Too bad he created oly few games but those he created sure are breathtaking (well maybe except for those fishing games).
@@martinpiekarski1512 Hes famous in Japan for marketing (Japan has different views of celebs, and marketers like him are bonafide celebrities over there), and that talent bled through into the few games he made. He actually was not able to finish Earthbound without his best friend... a man named Iwata (yes that Iwata) and a genius programmer. He was unable to get diagonal scrolling (amongst a few other things) working, and they were about to shelve the game totally. Iwata came in and saved it in 1-2 nights!
There was a time I would play FF6 every year, usually a few times, while I visited Chrono like once every 3-5 years. Chrono is easy, FF6 has hard characters to master like Gau, Strago, Relm, that really require you to like master the game to use them well. Like, the floating continent is actually designed for Strago and Relm but players tend to not bring them. Chrono has an epic grand story and experience, but in terms of gameplay, FF6 is better. Also, Secret of Mana missing from this list was a shame. Yeah, Secret of Mana is a little sloppy in it's design, particularly once you get to the empire and up until you get to the Sunken continent, you can tell a lot of content was cut. There's Ruby Armor and Chobin Helmet in Southtown, but then Northtown has Tiger armor and there was no bosses between the towns, just a tunnel of dino fish and blue drops.
Lufia 2 Secret of Mana Breath of fire 1 or 2 Soulblazer Just a few of my faves that didn’t make the list. It’s hard to just pin down 20 of such a great console. I enjoyed your video. Thank you.
I grew up with the SNES , bought it in 1992 in Germany, very great console. Golden era of gaming. I had Mega Drive, as well. I grew up with Sega and Nintendo.
My favorite console, hands down. My own list: 1-Killer Instinct 2-Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island 3-UMK3 4-Super Mario All Stars 5-Donkey Kong Country 6-Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 7-Super Mario RPG LOTSS 8-NBA jam 9-Super Contra 10-Srreet Fighter Alpha 2 11-Clayfighter 12-Super Ghouls and Ghosts 13-MK2 14-Megaman X 15-TMNT IV: Turtles in Time 16-Chrono Trigger 17-Illusion of Gaia 18-Secret of Mana 19-Doom 20-Zombies Ate My Neighbors 21-Spiderman/Venom: Maximum Carnage 22-Earthworm Jim 23-Battletoads n Double Dragon 24-EarthBound 25-Kirby's Super Star
I would omit "Sim City," and swap out "NBA Jam" for "NBA Jam: Tournament Edition," but a solid list, nonetheless. I'm not an RPG guy, but I can't argue with the many legendary RPGs the SNES was home to. For my list, I'd swap out the RPGs (all five of them) and "Sim City" for "Actraiser," TMNT IV: Turtles in Time," "Super Ghouls n' Ghosts," "Super Star Wars," "Starfox" and "Mortal Kombat 2." I'd also swap out "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island" with "Super Mario All-Stars." Come to think of it, I'd switch out "Super Mario Kart" for "Pilotwings," and I'm not even joking. It was just a fun, casual play. There was something about that chill AF music that really put me in a great mood. Even when I failed, I just couldn't be bothered by it.
@@sirris4330 Sorry, bro, not everyone spends endless hours playing RPGs. They've never been something I've been interested in, and would much prefer to play an action platformer or "beat 'em up." All the games I listed as substitutes are fan favorites, so it's not like I'm the only one that enjoys them.
Terranigma didn’t release in US, so not sure it should be included. It’s a great game, and way better than half the games listed, but no one knew about it for a long time in the largest gaming market at the time.
I pronounce SNES: Ess-Ness ------ So the reason why: I pronounce NES like one word: "Ness". Super is "S" or "Ess". Add these and combine and you got: Ess-Ness!
Grew up with the GameCube, but I would often visit my older cousin's house as a kid, and he introduced me to SNES games. SF2, UMK3, Super Mario World, Mega Man...the list goes on. The fact that most of these games still hold up well is a testament to how revolutionary the SNES was.
Nah this list didn't have Crono trigger higher on the list, as well as Mario RPG. Toss up for link to the Past, and Super Metroid. Still needed Secret of Mana, Super Star Wars, X-Men Mutant Apocalypse, Illusion of Gaia, Super Ghouls and Ghost, Zombies ate my Neighbors.
I own both games on snes. I used to like Chrono Trigger more. I played it first, then i played ff6. That game had to grow in me, and I thought the combat was a step down because of how stylish CT is. Then as i played through ff6 i realized how compelling the plot was, even better than CT, and the villain in ff6 is better to. But CT has really fun gameplay, ill give it that. But for me ff6 is higher.
It’s hard to value RPGs the way i do and see something like MarioKart above FF6. (Especially older games where i feel story, characters, villians, $$$/hour etc is >>>>>> to any other genres) Alas, it is not my list…. However. That one is tough for me as racing games (and sports games) just do not score out well for me. Like the content though. Nice work.
Although I would put Chrono Trigger at #1, it's hard to argue that either Super Metroid or ALttP don't deserve the top spot as well. That collection of 3 games can go toe to toe with any modern console's 3 best games and win. The SNES is peak gaming.
The game's certainly not perfect, regardless of it's time. It had multiple ways to irreversibly mess up your progress and this happened to me 6 hours into my first playthrough, which made me start over and ultimately walk away from the game for 2 years.
I've played through the games over a dozen time and never had anything close to a bug. Also 6h is a hell of a long time to not finish this game...Takes about 2-3 hours or 4-5 to 100%...@@YourPalHDee
Good list. A few honorable mentions I would add to this list is: Super Ghosts and Goblins, Earthworm Jim, Sky Blazer, Batman and Robin, Super Terricon, TMNT Turtles In Time, Star Fox, Gradius 3, and Space Megaforce.
Finally someone that didn't put Super Mario World on 1st place. It's a very good game, but not 1st for me. Super Metroid on the other hand, well that's another story 😀. Good choice for the number one spot.
When a console has so many original, ground-breaking, and - at the time at least - exclusive titles, it is very weird to have a PC game conversion on a best of list, especially if that version is also clearly subpar to the original. Scratch Sim City.
Fun list. Mine would have included a few Sports titles. Specifically Super Tecmo Bowl and NBA Jam: TE, were a couple of my most heaviest played games back in the day, and are still fun to this day--except outdated rosters. I also really enjoyed the Super Star Wars triology and The Lost Vikings. Put Family Feud and Jurassic Park into the guilty pleasures section--they just miss my Top-20 cut. SIM City, Street Fighter II, Super Mario World, Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid and Zelda: Link to the Past would have all made my list as well. Earthbound would have just missed the cut for me. I didn’t have it when I was younger, so I dont really have nostalgia for it, but got it about a decade ago. Its a bit too grindy for my taste, but my sons love it.
The SNES games that I love the most: Zelda 3 Super Metroid Mega Man X Super Mario World Maybe I can add a few more games to my personal "S tier". But these four are so good! Especially Zelda 3. I call it Zelda 3 because it's the 3rd game.
Wonderful list! For some reason, Super Metroid never connected with me and I didn't enjoy it. (I enjoyed Prime and Dread though). Otherwise, soooo many classics!
I beat it. There were elements that were enjoyable for sure, it just didn’t hook me very much to the level of a top Snes title. But that’s okay for others that love it!
I made a list once based on how much I played the games when discovered and how much I like them now. It has a lot of the games you have, but I had Ghost and Ghouls (though pretty low on the list), Kirby Super Star, Secret of Mana and Evermore, and Trials of Mana. I did not include F-Zero, NBA Jam, DKC1, Sim City (computer versions were way better), Street Fighter, or Earthbound. Honestly, it's hard to compare a sports or racing game to big adventures.

This might be one the best lists I’ve seen! Agreed with almost every entry! (Tho order will always be subjective) While I don’t disagree with FF4, I PROBABLY would have swapped it with TMNT4. Proof positive that one can never do a top 10 SNES list. It HAS to be at least top 20!
Didn’t expect _Super Metroid_ to be on this list let alone no. 1. I was expecting _Super Mario All-Stars_ because “it allows you to play all those classic Marios in one with massive graphical upgrades.” In total, I have only played 3 of the games on this list and own 2.
You probably didn't live back then when the SNES was new. Super Mario All Stars was neat, but we won those games on the NES, except the Lost Levels. Super Metroid is one of the best games on the system.
THE BEST N64 GAMES: th-cam.com/video/RRzTctIbJxw/w-d-xo.html
No one ever called it SNES as a single syllable back in the day. It was always spoken by its initials, S-N-E-S.
When it came out, I called it Super Nintendo, as did everyone else I knew. As a 41-year-old I still call it that to this day.

Star Fox is literally one of the best games made for the SNES. That’s not subjective but objective.
@@reidsimonson no it's not... it just has a cool graphic style. Most space shooters are much better than those games. Starfox is just a nostalgic game for people
MK2 is nostalgic but MK3 is on another level. It's like twice the roster and the combos are huge.
I call it Super Nintendo Chalmers.
All us 90s kids do 🙂
😂😂😂😂😂
My favorite line from Simpsons ever!
Im learnding
Turtles in Time should've been on this list but this is still a really good list👌🏿
Definitely. That and Super Ghouls and Ghosts.
That’s a goodn’
@@grifmang I completely disagree. Any video game list that doesn't have Super Mario Bros. 3 as the best game ever on any system can't be a good list.

So glad Chrono Trigger made the list, still quite possibly my favorite game of all time
Same here bro. I love that game
Definitely my favorite game of all time. It’s perfect to me.
How could it not? Chrono Trigger was THE best RPG game for the SNES.
Zelda n trigger share number 1 I cried when I couldn't play either 1
never playd it...whats so special about it since its turn based rpg eww

Star Fox and Secret of Mana not being on an SNES top 20 list but Sim City and Contra 3 is is WILD!

Could not believe it was missing...
+1

It's one of my favourite all time games. It's almost criminal not to be on this list. It's miles better than FF4
An addition to the list would be the Secret of Mana, imho.
Beating super punch out took forever....felt great beating it. Staying up till 4am in elementary school
I still play Super Metroid, it still holds up so well.

Beyond Oasis was another action RPG that I always thought came close to Zelda.
Nothing touches zelda
Beyond Oasis was on the Genesis, not the SNES.
Secret of Mana
The donkey Kong country cave level background littereally looks like the orange stalagmites have evil faces on them! I’ve noticed.
Breath of Fire II was epic
ActRaiser was one of my favorite SNES games.
ActRaiser was good enough to get a remake. I would put it high on the list. Not sure what would get removed.
A couple changes need to made.
18. NBA Jam: Tournament Edition
9. Street Fighter 2: Turbo
Killer Instinct?!? It had the best graphics of any arcade game when it came out!
Zombies ate my neighbors is the greatest snes game of all time
Thank you was looking for this comment
Can confirm. Owned Mario, Zelda, SimCity, DKC, Punch Out, Street Fighter, NBA jams, FZero, Pilotwings, Ninja Turtles, and Killer Instinct. Good times.
Shadowrun was one of the systems goats, up there with FF III and Chrono Trigger.
Cultured, what a game Shadowrun was. Jake Armitage!
@@darrenmoxon9622 Yeah! One of my faves! A shame the new ones weren't the same style, nor were they nearly as deep as the original was.

Depressing that no beat em ups were on this list I see TMNT IV : Turtles in Time in the intro but it is nowhere to be found in the actual list
I had Battletoad + Double Dragon and X-Men Mutant Apocalypse but yea this is kinda prime era of beat em ups
For me, Super Ghouls N Ghosts is in the top 10. Underrated!
Yees man for sure !! One of my favs too✌🏽
I agree. The soundtrack and challenge are still great even today.
Contra 3 is number one for me. I used to beat it by myself. Two players is harder because you have to stay on the screen at the same time and work cohesively
Cool and weird at the same time to see footage of DKC 2 the lost levels instead of the OG game (that hack is tough as nails)
I am not a sports fan so I would have removed NBA Jam and Super Punch Out and put Batman Returns and TMNT IV : Turtles in Time on the list
I was actually okay with those ones. I'm no sports guy myself, but those were top of the list of the ones I could actually get enjoyment out of.
Killer Instinct would be on my list as well
No UN Squadron or Ninja Warriors?! If you haven't played these 2, they'll make your top 15--if not top 10...Ninja Warriors is my best game of all time!

Great list but chrono trigger should be 1! Also secret of mana should be on the list. It is a masterpiece!
Nah ff6 solos chrono trigger but its a close 2nd
There was a time I would play FF6 every year, usually a few times, while I visited Chrono like once every 3-5 years. Chrono is easy, FF6 has hard characters to master like Gau, Strago, Relm, that really require you to like master the game to use them well. Like, the floating continent is actually designed for Strago and Relm but players tend to not bring them. Chrono has an epic grand story and experience, but in terms of gameplay, FF6 is better. Also, Secret of Mana missing from this list was a shame. Yeah, Secret of Mana is a little sloppy in it's design, particularly once you get to the empire and up until you get to the Sunken continent, you can tell a lot of content was cut. There's Ruby Armor and Chobin Helmet in Southtown, but then Northtown has Tiger armor and there was no bosses between the towns, just a tunnel of dino fish and blue drops.
My top 5 is 1- Earthbound, 2- LTTP, 3- Super Metroid, 4- FF6, 5- Super Mario World
Great video! What's the game that appears at 0:16?
HAGANE.
Mind blowing Star Fox wasn't mentioned
Lufia 2
Secret of Mana
Breath of fire 1 or 2
Soulblazer
Just a few of my faves that didn’t make the list. It’s hard to just pin down 20 of such a great console. I enjoyed your video. Thank you.
I loved Breath of Fire 2. Definitely in my top 5 RPGs ever
I have called it super Nintendo since I got one when it came out for Christmas as a little boy.
I grew up with the SNES , bought it in 1992 in Germany, very great console. Golden era of gaming. I had Mega Drive, as well. I grew up with Sega and Nintendo.
My favorite console, hands down. My own list:
1-Killer Instinct
2-Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
3-UMK3
4-Super Mario All Stars
5-Donkey Kong Country
6-Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
7-Super Mario RPG LOTSS
8-NBA jam
9-Super Contra
10-Srreet Fighter Alpha 2
11-Clayfighter
12-Super Ghouls and Ghosts
13-MK2
14-Megaman X
15-TMNT IV: Turtles in Time
16-Chrono Trigger
17-Illusion of Gaia
18-Secret of Mana
19-Doom
20-Zombies Ate My Neighbors
21-Spiderman/Venom: Maximum Carnage
22-Earthworm Jim
23-Battletoads n Double Dragon
24-EarthBound
25-Kirby's Super Star
I would spent hours trying to nail orchid´s ultra combos. good times.
Solid list. My favs not on the list were TMNT: Turtles in Time and the Super Star Wars trilogy of games
I'd add Killer instinct,MK 3, illusion of Gaia/Time, Secret of evermore,Secret of Mana
I think his list was for kids without many friends
@@godrulzthe602lol I had a lot friends growing up but chose to be a loner most of the time. Not sure if that is a bad or good thing lol
Killer instinct ❤️
Definitely killer instinct over mk or sf all day
Secret of Mana was awesome!
Nice to see a list that’s honest and not just the most expensive titles for the console.
I would omit "Sim City," and swap out "NBA Jam" for "NBA Jam: Tournament Edition," but a solid list, nonetheless. I'm not an RPG guy, but I can't argue with the many legendary RPGs the SNES was home to. For my list, I'd swap out the RPGs (all five of them) and "Sim City" for "Actraiser," TMNT IV: Turtles in Time," "Super Ghouls n' Ghosts," "Super Star Wars," "Starfox" and "Mortal Kombat 2." I'd also swap out "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island" with "Super Mario All-Stars." Come to think of it, I'd switch out "Super Mario Kart" for "Pilotwings," and I'm not even joking. It was just a fun, casual play. There was something about that chill AF music that really put me in a great mood. Even when I failed, I just couldn't be bothered by it.
Madness or troll...
@@sirris4330 Sorry, bro, not everyone spends endless hours playing RPGs. They've never been something I've been interested in, and would much prefer to play an action platformer or "beat 'em up."
All the games I listed as substitutes are fan favorites, so it's not like I'm the only one that enjoys them.
Love this list! Too many great SNES games to choose from
Terranigma, TMNT IV, ISS and Demon's Crest are in my top 20
Terranigma didn’t release in US, so not sure it should be included. It’s a great game, and way better than half the games listed, but no one knew about it for a long time in the largest gaming market at the time.
I pronounce SNES:
Ess-Ness
------
So the reason why: I pronounce NES like one word: "Ness".
Super is "S" or "Ess". Add these and combine and you got: Ess-Ness!
I always thought the best Metroidvania was The Goonies 2 on NES....
Grew up with the GameCube, but I would often visit my older cousin's house as a kid, and he introduced me to SNES games. SF2, UMK3, Super Mario World, Mega Man...the list goes on. The fact that most of these games still hold up well is a testament to how revolutionary the SNES was.
Secret of Evermore and Secret of Mana are 2 of my favorites from the Super Nintendo.
Nah this list didn't have Crono trigger higher on the list, as well as Mario RPG. Toss up for link to the Past, and Super Metroid. Still needed Secret of Mana, Super Star Wars, X-Men Mutant Apocalypse, Illusion of Gaia, Super Ghouls and Ghost, Zombies ate my Neighbors.
chrono trigger is better than FF6 confirmed.
Yes not even close really
I love both, but I would rank FF6 slightly ahead.
Only because CT is the best game ever made. That aside, FF6 is right there.
I own both games on snes. I used to like Chrono Trigger more. I played it first, then i played ff6. That game had to grow in me, and I thought the combat was a step down because of how stylish CT is. Then as i played through ff6 i realized how compelling the plot was, even better than CT, and the villain in ff6 is better to. But CT has really fun gameplay, ill give it that. But for me ff6 is higher.
I concur.
Great list. All these games are classics and gave me so many hours of fun growing up.
Top Gear 2 for me. Best soundtrack ever. :)
Some great memories Thanks for the list
The SNES was my first big purchase with my first job and my own money. For that reason, and many others, the SNES will always be special to me.
Listening to this while mowing the lawn, and 17:30 made me burst into laughter.
It’s hard to value RPGs the way i do and see something like MarioKart above FF6.
(Especially older games where i feel story, characters, villians, $$$/hour etc is >>>>>> to any other genres)
Alas, it is not my list….
However. That one is tough for me as racing games (and sports games) just do not score out well for me.
Like the content though. Nice work.
Although I would put Chrono Trigger at #1, it's hard to argue that either Super Metroid or ALttP don't deserve the top spot as well. That collection of 3 games can go toe to toe with any modern console's 3 best games and win. The SNES is peak gaming.
Super Metroid, almost 30y later and is still one of the best Metroidvania to ever exist. It's a perfect game in my opinion, especially for its time.
The game's certainly not perfect, regardless of it's time. It had multiple ways to irreversibly mess up your progress and this happened to me 6 hours into my first playthrough, which made me start over and ultimately walk away from the game for 2 years.
I've played through the games over a dozen time and never had anything close to a bug. Also 6h is a hell of a long time to not finish this game...Takes about 2-3 hours or 4-5 to 100%...@@YourPalHDee
Missing Terranigma, but good list, not sure about the order, but that is subjective
I guess you didn't like Secret of Mana. It's a lot better than Sim City or NBA Jam IMO
Secret of Mana was awesome game should have been on there or mortal kombat 3
NBA jam was okay but more of a arcade game
Great list and agree with the top 2, but only I would have ALTTP as number 1, but super metroid was brilliant
Breath of Fire was and still is my favorite SNES game.
II crushes I for me. Building a city and exploring was mind blowing at the time
Good list. A few honorable mentions I would add to this list is: Super Ghosts and Goblins, Earthworm Jim, Sky Blazer, Batman and Robin, Super Terricon, TMNT Turtles In Time, Star Fox, Gradius 3, and Space Megaforce.
Finally someone that didn't put Super Mario World on 1st place. It's a very good game, but not 1st for me. Super Metroid on the other hand, well that's another story 😀. Good choice for the number one spot.
get back in your kiddy pool . you will be forced to accept super mario world and nobody else. super metroid is one of the best.
When a console has so many original, ground-breaking, and - at the time at least - exclusive titles, it is very weird to have a PC game conversion on a best of list, especially if that version is also clearly subpar to the original. Scratch Sim City.
Super Mario World is #1. It was built for the system. They developed the system for the game.
Nothing else can come close
I disagree but still love it very much
Pretty solid list. Was bummed Actraiser didn’t make it. That game was crazy fun.
Mortal Kombat 2 got snubbed. I agree with #1 and #2 on this list.
Fun list.
Mine would have included a few Sports titles.
Specifically Super Tecmo Bowl and NBA Jam: TE, were a couple of my most heaviest played games back in the day, and are still fun to this day--except outdated rosters.
I also really enjoyed the Super Star Wars triology and The Lost Vikings.
Put Family Feud and Jurassic Park into the guilty pleasures section--they just miss my Top-20 cut.
SIM City, Street Fighter II, Super Mario World, Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid and Zelda: Link to the Past would have all made my list as well.
Earthbound would have just missed the cut for me. I didn’t have it when I was younger, so I dont really have nostalgia for it, but got it about a decade ago. Its a bit too grindy for my taste, but my sons love it.
Nice list. Id probably have Chrono trigger and FF6 at 1 and 2, Zelda 3, Metroid 4, and Mario world 5.
I do feel most people consider those five games to be the best games on the SNES.
F-Zero has one of the coolest soundtracks as well. Love your channel though. It brings back nostalgic memories of my early childhood during the 90’s.
The SNES games that I love the most:
Zelda 3
Super Metroid
Mega Man X
Super Mario World
Maybe I can add a few more games to my personal "S tier". But these four are so good! Especially Zelda 3. I call it Zelda 3 because it's the 3rd game.
Thanks for doing this. Subbed ☮️
Wonderful list! For some reason, Super Metroid never connected with me and I didn't enjoy it. (I enjoyed Prime and Dread though). Otherwise, soooo many classics!
How far were you in the game? I also had the same thought on the first chapter
I beat it. There were elements that were enjoyable for sure, it just didn’t hook me very much to the level of a top Snes title. But that’s okay for others that love it!
Really good list! Thanks for this video! It was awesome!
Aside from the wall jump, Super Metroid might be what one calls, the perfect game
Fantastic list. Loved the video.
14:00 - I dunno. I love Mario Kart, but going back to the original definitely doesn’t hold up as well as I’d hoped.
I made a list once based on how much I played the games when discovered and how much I like them now. It has a lot of the games you have, but I had Ghost and Ghouls (though pretty low on the list), Kirby Super Star, Secret of Mana and Evermore, and Trials of Mana. I did not include F-Zero, NBA Jam, DKC1, Sim City (computer versions were way better), Street Fighter, or Earthbound. Honestly, it's hard to compare a sports or racing game to big adventures.
This list is very spot on with what I would make.
I just need to finally play Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6...yeah I still haven't played those.
6 and 3 on the list is criminally low. FF6, CT, and LTTP should be the top 3 on any SNES list. It’s that big of a gap to anything behind them.
The only right way to say it is,"es-en-e-es" 💯

This might be one the best lists I’ve seen! Agreed with almost every entry! (Tho order will always be subjective)
While I don’t disagree with FF4, I PROBABLY would have swapped it with TMNT4. Proof positive that one can never do a top 10 SNES list. It HAS to be at least top 20!
*Not bad!* 7 of those 20 are in *My **_personal_* top 10.
The rest of my favorites are very different.
I still love Metroid!
trash every one said Secret of Evermore is way better
definitely agree with every game on the list but would rearrange the order on several of them. good list!
Didn’t expect _Super Metroid_ to be on this list let alone no. 1. I was expecting _Super Mario All-Stars_ because “it allows you to play all those classic Marios in one with massive graphical upgrades.” In total, I have only played 3 of the games on this list and own 2.
You probably didn't live back then when the SNES was new. Super Mario All Stars was neat, but we won those games on the NES, except the Lost Levels. Super Metroid is one of the best games on the system.
@@Scott89878 I’m 5 years older than the SNES. I’m fact, I was born 22 before the original NES hit American shelves.

Very nice list. I would make some changes to it, but only out of my own preferences and opinions.
I feel secret of mana deserved to be on this list
There was an updated version of NBA Jam on PS3 On Fire Edition
