This list was our childhood. Watching this video made me realize how good we actually had it. Saturday mornings were the best, Gran Gran bringing donuts and chocolate milk, playing Super Nintendo with the sun blasting through the back bedroom window. I wish I could go back for one more Friday night/Saturday morning.
Fuck yeah! I love you guys, nothing gay just I understand what and where and how you experienced seeing these games and I was there man, what a time Jesus Christ
When I smoke weed and play old school Nintendo games, I feel like a kid again, it's like the weed triggers this neurotransmitters to make me feel like I'm 7 or 8

Outside of Earthbound, I like your list. I just could never get into Earthbound, and would place either the second (called just Secret of Mana game in the US), or third Seiken Densetsu (now called Trials of Mana) in that top 20.
This is the kind of top 10 I like to see. You give your personal stories with these games and not just a cheap review. It lets us relate and makes us understand why you love these games. Fantastic video man!
I absolutely loved these two videos from you. Very orginal picks and not just all the most popular SNES games, but ones that you yourself loved. I haven't even heard of a couple of them. You earned yourself a sub. Also I'm drunk as shit and now am attempting to hook up my SNES to my TV.
Billy I remember when I heard about "mario 4" A friend of me and my brother told us, as we were all riding bikes on our street. He was like, in JAPAN DEY GOT MOWWEEOOH FWOOAAH (he had a speech impediment due to his teeth over crowding...the doctor had to pull all his baby teeth and he had no teeth for a bit.)
Nice list :) My top 10: 1. Super metroid 2. Link to the past 3. Megaman x 4. Castlevania 4 5. Contra 3 6. Chrono trigger 7. Turtles in time 8. FF6 9. Street fighter 2 10. Megaman X3

Another great video billy! I noticed that every time you dive into little billy's childhood it always correlates with your grandparents namely your grandma, would it be possible for you guys to share your stories about your early gaming life including your grandma? I know it sounds silly but hearing you talk about her felt like she meant the whole world to you guys. :)
The SNES is the best gaming system of all time. You could make a whole other top 20 list of games that you didn't list and still have a list with legitimately all time great games... Like Final Fantasy 2-3, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Super Metroid etc etc.
Oh...what a fantastic piece of nostalgia/passion for something a lot of us loves so much. The SNES was and is more than just a console. In my teenage years, it was my whole world. In 1991, I was an 11 years old craving for adventure, make believe adventure, and the SNES was the RPG console I and lot of other people waited for. That being said... The way you put your emotions and love for those games connected with me and reminded me why I love this console so much. Thanks a lot for sharing those memories, those videogames are fantastic. And since you asks us fans for it; here's my top 10 SNES games of all time, for nostalgic and overall replay value over the years. Honorable mentions to Terranigma (played this 10 years later it was released on emulation), Gemfire, Mega Man x, Mortal Kombat 2 and Turtles in Time. 1-Final Fantasy III 2-The Legend of Zelda-Link to the Past 3-Chrono Trigger 4-Final Fantasy II 5-Super Mario World 6-Secret of Mana 7-Sim City 8-Super Street Fighter 2 9-Donkey Kong County 10-The 7th Saga
I said the same thing lol. If i had to choose 5 game to keep playing forever on the snes my list would go as follow: Super Metroid A Link to the Past Chrono Trigger Donkey Kong Country 2 Megaman X For multiplayer: Mario Kart or Top Gear 1 Turtles in Time Super Street Fighter 2 Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Contra 3 Honorable mentions: Final Fantasy 3 Yoshi’s Island Super Mario World Killer Instinct Kirby Super Star NBA Hangtime Castlevania 4 Final Fight 3 illusion of Gaia Un Squadron
Neffets i can see that but it’s a shame that this franchise is not as loved as zelda or mario which is the main reason why nintendo has not been delivering. After all for huge companies like that sales are the ultimate goal, metroid has never sold very well so it’s understandable.
Love it, SNES is my system too, thanks for bringing some entertainment to me today. I do not chase games right now(new Dad), but I still like watching the re runs, which give me the itch.
I’m onboard with this list. I love how you have gaming memories with your grandmother. We had a Super Nintendo at my grandparents house and me and all of my cousins would take turns with a lot of the classic games mentioned here. I still associate a lot them with those times.
Every time I watch a TopSNES video, most of the games are so different from what I’d choose for my own list. Isn’t that amazing how there’s something for everyone to like? The SNES is so amazing! I have games like Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, Goof Troop, Lost Vikings and Rock N Roll Racing on my list. Great video, Billy!
10.) Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island - I'm actually in the middle of playing this right now for the very first time. I am looking to get it completed in the next month. I'll be honest - I do prefer the original super mario world over yoshi's island but this game does have some redeemable factors. I do love the collectathon aspect of the game, and I do appreciate how difficult the game can be from time to time but sometimes I find the controls a little too slippery for my liking but I'll eventually get use to them. I'm currently on world 5 right now. 9.) Actraiser - This game has been completed and retired for good but its one of the most interesting and in depth action games I've played during the snes era. As much as I enjoyed the action segments of this game, I actually really loved the city building aspects of the game as well. Who knew that blending those two elements together could make for such a wonderful gaming experience. 8.) Super Star Wars - One of those that I absolutely love for its difficulty and even though I beat this game as a kid, I don't have it completed and I really owe it to myself to play this game again because it has that perfect sense of transitional difficult with some many different gameplay styles intertwined within its a game. Its an excellent action game that deserves to be played by everybody. 7.) UN Squadron - One of the best games that ever got released for that system. It has tight addicting gameplay, beautiful music, challenging bosses, and just a wonderful experience overall. This game has been completed and permanently retired in my collection but I had too much fun getting this game completed. 6.) Super Mario All Stars - You know its kind of funny because even though I have played every game in that compilation for the nes. I've actually never played any of those games on the snes compilation. I guess when I was younger I didn't see the need for it, but I really should give it a try just to see how the artisty of how these classics transferred to the 16 bit turned out. 5.) Contra III: The Alien Wars - Just a classic in every sense of the word. I've only ever beaten this game on easy and normal mode but I know I need to beat it on hard mode in order to get the true ending and consider this game completed. This game just has some incredibly memorable boss fights. I will always have awesome memories of fighting that giant robot that rips the wall with his hands. 4.) TMNT IV: Turtles in Time - One of the few games that I was lucky enough to own as a kid. This game has been completed and retired but this is hands down the best beat'em up for the snes and a timeless classic in every sense of the world. This game also has the luxury for having some of the best music that the snes had to offer. 3.) Super Castlevania 4 - Another game that had a great sense of transitional difficulty. It was a tough game but it was a fair game as well. You had all the tools to get through this game, you just needed to be really good at implementing those tools. This game has been completed and retired for good in my personal gaming library. 2.) Super Mario World - Probably my second favourite mario game out of all the ones I've ever played. This is the very definition of a timeless classic and even though this game is completed to 100% and permanently retired. Every once in a while, I will play it again. It's one of few games that I'll pull out of retirement in order to actually play it again. 1.) The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past - My favourite zelda game of all time. This game has been completed and permanently retired because it was one of the few games that I was fortunate to own. I was completely hooked on it from the very beginning. Not one zelda game has come remotely close to dethroning this game and it is simply a wonderful experience from beginning to end. You know this is an awesome list because each game has an excellent story associated with it and in my eyes that's what counts. This list may not have star fox, super metroid, donkey kong country, final fantasy, or chrono trigger but in my eyes it doesn't matter because different games are going to have a different amount of appeal to each individual player. Hopefully highlighting some of the games that don't get talked about very often such as alien 3, super star wars, ken griffery jr baseball will give people the extra push for people to play these games for the first time.
game chasers, I normally don't comment on these post but you touched my Hart in both your choices of games and family ie your parents sending u to your grandparents to play NES an SNES games..
Link to the Past is my childhood. It was summer after 6th grade. At the time I mainly just played fighters, beat em ups, and platformers. But my friend Tyler let me borrow it that summer and I was completely hooked to the game and to the genre from that point forward. =]
Another great list, and I 100% support Link to the Past taking the top spot! I had a SNES back in the day but actually didn't have all that many games for it. Where I lived we were kind of starved for good video game stores (plus Nintendo of Europe kind of sucked back then, so a lot of stuff that made it Stateside didn't come out over here -- most notably the Final Fantasy games), so I never acquired that many. I did get a few for Christmas and birthdays, though -- my fondest memories of the system definitely include Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, A Link to the Past, Star Fox (or Starwing as it was called here) and SimCity... the latter of which I didn't expect to like but enjoyed a whole bunch! Since getting back into SNES in my adulthood, I've also become a fan of Quintet's games like I said in my comment on your last video, and I was delighted to see Actraiser get such a high billing on your list. That really is an excellent -- and highly original -- game that deserves much more attention. I also picked up a SNES Mini a while back, so that's given me the opportunity to catch up on a number of classics I kind of missed out on back when they were current!
Some of my favourite SNES games were the Donkey Kong Country trilogy, Championship Pool, Super Mario World, Yoshi’s Island, Arkanoid: Doh It Again, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario Allstars, Bart’s Nightmare and Virtual Bart, just to name a few SNES favourites of mine
Great list. Mine is similar 1. Zelda LTTP 2. Super Mario World 3. Super Castlevania lV 4. Turtles lV 5. Super Metroid 6. Contra lll 7. Knights of the Round 8. Sunset Riders 9. NBA Jam 10. Demons Crest
Thanks for your hard work. I appreciate the love you show Ken Griffey, Jr. as it and Baseball Stars (NES) are my 1 and 1a all-time. Thank you for what you said about your #1 about your happy place. It is my all-time favorite game. My life is a struggle and now I have one more happy place I can go to add to the one I already had. I enjoy the stories about your grandparents. Awesome. Much love and again, thanks for sharing.
Exactly! Breath of the Wild is overrated it’s Skyrim with Zelda skin characters, also Zelda Link to the Past got me into the Zelda franchise, my number one is Super Metroid... Subscriber earned.
This was an awesome list Billy!!! My top 10 games not in order are SMW, FZero, Turtles in Time, Link to the Past, Sim City, Contra 3, Super Metroid, Super Mario Kart, Street Fighter Donkey Kong Country.
I just got turtles 4 for snes cause of u billy can't wait to play it ty man since u speak so highly of the game I've been on a mission to find it at a good price and I have finally done it so ty again
My theory is the weenie dog was under Dracula's curse and because you didn't go see it and kept playing the curse was lifted and thus the weenie dog lived a full life.
My top 10 SNES games are 1. Super Mario RPG 2. Super Mario World 3. Yoshi’s Island 4. Contra 3 Alien Wars 5. TMNT 4 Turtles in Time 6. Super Punch Out! 7. Super Ghouls and Ghosts 8. Zombies Ate My Neigbor’s 9. Final Fantasy 3 10. Super Mario All Stars
Hey Billy, love your videos. The dog story was totally priceless, only you can have your cake and eat it too. I think I should name it the "Billy Effect" :) I never had a SNES of my own. So needless to say I spent a lot of time with friends who did have one playing games. Some of the games this gal really likes to this day are Mario All Stars, Yoshi's Island, Gradius III, any of the Mega Man stuff it was so great, and Demon's Crest, Pocky & Rocky. Those are just a few. Honorable mentions to Joe & Mac, Donald in Maui Mallard, Super Star Wars. But there are too many games its hard to just boil em down to a few.
Coolest grandmother ever!! Also not a bad list at all I'm 41 started with the mastersystem still playing today love pretty much all you and yours content I never thought I'd say this but more lists would be great
Brilliant series of vids Billy 😃 I never had a SNES when I was a kid and always wanted one (I'm 40 now😝) BUT I do have the SNES mini now so am looking forward to playing some of these games you've mentioned!! Just wish I could have all of them on there 😔 UN Squadron and Star Wars would have been amazing on there
I had Genesis, my boy had SNES and PC. DOOM, Wolfenstein, Heretic, Zelda , MARIO, Starfox and FF. LETS GO! We would also make our own adventures. D & D style.
You had a cool grandma! I wish my grandmother played video games when I was a child... I watch all the old shows with her, madlock, murder she wrote, golden girls (great show by the way)...
My favorite games on the SNES are Super Metroid, Super Mario World, DKC 2, Breath of Fire 2, and Chrono Trigger. Also, you really make me want to buy a copy of UN Squadron haha. I really like these lists, you put a lot of good work into them. Maybe do a top 20 PS1 games list? Or Genesis?
My Top 10 Super Nintendo games: 10: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 9. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars 8. Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble 7. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time 6. Super Mario Kart 5. Donkey Kong Country 4. F-Zero 3. Super Mario World 2. Killer Instinct 1. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
I am quite similar to you in that I have a whole bunch of favorite games for Super NES that are really tied with each other for first place. They are Act Raiser, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Brain Lord, Super Adventure Island 2, A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Secret of Mana, Super Mario World, and Super Mario All Stars.
My top 10: 10.Sim City 9. Mega Man 7 8. Final Fantasy VI 7. Super Mario World 6. Illusion of Gaia 5. Super Castlevania IV 4. Contra III: The Alien Wars 3. Mega Man X 2. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 1. Super Metroid
A Link to the Past is something that will be with me til death. When I got my first couple jobs that music would come to me. Mostly dark world theme. Heck of a game.
When I was younger I didn't actually own the SNES system...I had to rent the games with the system and it was always something that made my young life a little better for a couple days at a time
Don’t understand the criticism of new videos? Game chasers eps will always take time to edit to get the quality we expect and this is a great video which helps us get to know more about the guys behind the show. Also it helps boost the channel with how TH-cam is set up and hopefully reach out to more fans which can only be a good thing? Get a grip people
I have to honestly say my number one was F-Zero. This was before I had an SNES. My friend had one and the first game I ever played on it was F-Zero. I was blown away by it. Every time I went to his house I had to play it. I finally got my own and with F-Zero of course and it's the only game I can say I've ever completely mastered. I've beat the game on it's hardest difficulty and it feels pretty good.
Donkey Kong Country is the first SNES game I played at a friends house right next door, and it blew my mind an convinced me that yes, video games are cool.
You anticipation for Mario was like mine for Zelda.. I was so impatient I bought a used Super Famicom copy for $90 to get to play it earlier..great video yet again
One day me and my sister went to see my Granny Peggy and she had acquired an Acorn Electron micro computer (i'm from England) and she was playing Chuckie Egg on it and she was awesome on it. I'd never even seen her play a video game before that day and couldn't believe how good she got on it. She got addicted to it and would wipe the floor with anyone i know on it (including me). Her coolness factor shot through the roof after that. I miss my Granny Peggy a lot and i'd give anything to have one more day playing Chuckie Egg with her again. :(
Oh My Goodness!!! Nintendo Power really hyped me up for games and I remember begging my mom for the book all the time and she would always tell me "you can't eat a book" but she knew the love I had and she would always cave in and get it for me... Mind you I didn't always get the games I wanted but when I got older I was able to on my own... I remember renting games and it was always such a long ride home and I would read the info book that came with it all the way
i rate this video 5 out of 5 faps... thank you Pappa Billy. In all seriousness, keep up the great work, you chodes built quite the fanbase over the years and we love getting insight into your guys' memories, thoughts, opinions and chodenannigans.
I never had a SNES so I don't have a favorite list, but I have to say the games you showed look quite good. Not my type of games, but still, good. Apart from UN Squadron which I played in the arcades and my Atari ST and liked it a lot. Thank you for sharing.
My first two consoles were the NES and SNES because they were handed down to me from my older cousin who had just got the PS1. Something happened to my NES, and I was more drawn to the SNES anyways, and I can remember that Super Mario World was always my favorite and I spent the most time on it. I think that would be my number one and my number two would be TMNT Tournament fighters. I would always use Donatello and nobody could touch me lol
I loooved Illusion of Time. It was so beautiful and I remember feeling so immersed in the story. Such happy memories. Secret of Evermore very similar memories. Terranigma and Secret of Mana also top, especially when I played alone. But with a friend I enjoyed very much Turtles in Time, Super Double Dragon and turnwise Final Fight.
Great list and memories, I share many of your top 20 Billy. LTTP definitely deserves the top spot. A few omissions though... no DK Country, DKC:2, Super Metroid, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario RPG, and Star Fox.
Number 1 as expected. Mine as well. Love some of the underrated picks like joe n mac on the,last one,and un squadron. A lot of co op games like myself as my older brother and I played together like you and Chris likely did.
Amazing list man. Mine are somewhat different. Enjoy. Top 10 SNES 10. E.V.O. The Search for Eden 09. The Firemen 08. Mohawk and Headphone Jack 07. Super Castlevania IV 06. Univeracers 05. Brandish 04. Donald Duck in Maui Mallard 03. Pitfall - The Mayan Adventure 02. Demons Crest 01. Lufia 2 - The Rise of the Sinistrals
Love your list. One game that I feel is soo underrated, and never really mentioned anywhere is rocky rodent. Such a hidden gem and a blast. Have you ever played/heard of it? And if not u need too!
Earthbound, Final Fantasy 2 and 3, Chrono Trigger, Zombie's Ate My Neighbors, Super Castlevania IV, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, Link to the Past, Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Yoshi's Island, TMNT Turtles in Time, Super Mario Kart, Tetris & Dr. Mario, Kirby Superstar, Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct, Qbert 3, Rock and Roll Racing, Cool Spot.
"No Super Metroid?! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" That's what I see in the comments, lol I don't think people understand that the list is heavily influenced by nostalgia, and if it's a game that Billy didn't have that kind of attachment to, he probably won't put it on the list. I LOVE Super Metroid but it's not a game I grew up with, I only played it as an adult.
Nice list! My favorite SNES games are: 1. Super Metroid 2. FF6 3. Zelda: Lttp 4. Secret of Mana 5. Donkey kong country 2 6. Super Mario RPG 7. Super Castlevania 4 8. Donkey kong country 9. Yoshi's island 10. Chrono Trigger 11. Super Mario kart 12. Super empire strikes back 13. Actraiser 14. Prince of Persia 15. Mega man X 16. U.N squadron
Thumbs up just for that Castlevania 4 story.
Game Sack boomer Will live

That story made me laugh, and I needed to.
This list was our childhood. Watching this video made me realize how good we actually had it. Saturday mornings were the best, Gran Gran bringing donuts and chocolate milk, playing Super Nintendo with the sun blasting through the back bedroom window. I wish I could go back for one more Friday night/Saturday morning.
I feel like you guys should make a video of yourselves trying to recreate that experience as adults!
You and Billy should both do videos of you guy's playing TMNT and Ken Griffey like the old days!
Fuck yeah! I love you guys, nothing gay just I understand what and where and how you experienced seeing these games and I was there man, what a time Jesus Christ
That's one helluva Gran Gran you had.

I'm honestly shocked to see a list of snes top games and NOT have s. Metroid, ff3 and c. Trigger. Some gems in this list tho.
Loving these videos man ❤️

3.) Super Castlevania 4 - Another game that had a great sense of transitional difficulty. It was a tough game but it was a fair game as well. You had all the tools to get through this game, you just needed to be really good at implementing those tools. This game has been completed and retired for good in my personal gaming library.
2.) Super Mario World - Probably my second favourite mario game out of all the ones I've ever played. This is the very definition of a timeless classic and even though this game is completed to 100% and permanently retired. Every once in a while, I will play it again. It's one of few games that I'll pull out of retirement in order to actually play it again.
1.) The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past - My favourite zelda game of all time. This game has been completed and permanently retired because it was one of the few games that I was fortunate to own. I was completely hooked on it from the very beginning. Not one zelda game has come remotely close to dethroning this game and it is simply a wonderful experience from beginning to end.
You know this is an awesome list because each game has an excellent story associated with it and in my eyes that's what counts. This list may not have star fox, super metroid, donkey kong country, final fantasy, or chrono trigger but in my eyes it doesn't matter because different games are going to have a different amount of appeal to each individual player. Hopefully highlighting some of the games that don't get talked about very often such as alien 3, super star wars, ken griffery jr baseball will give people the extra push for people to play these games for the first time.
Wow. Growing up my best friend and I had literally every one of your top-10! So your list was like a review of my SNES videogaming history. Thanks!
The next time you stream and the donations are for a portable air conditioner, I got you bruh. You made me LOL a couple times on this video.
I love your passion! You do a great job captivating the awe and amazement i too felt playing video games as a kid!
game chasers,
I normally don't comment on these post but you touched my Hart in both your choices of games and family ie your parents sending u to your grandparents to play NES an SNES games..
Woohoo, Battlestar Galactica (2003) reference!!! Now I love your channel even more! Great video.
Link to the Past is my childhood. It was summer after 6th grade. At the time I mainly just played fighters, beat em ups, and platformers. But my friend Tyler let me borrow it that summer and I was completely hooked to the game and to the genre from that point forward. =]
thank you billy you jogged my brain into a game i had forgot all about Rastan
Another great list, and I 100% support Link to the Past taking the top spot!
I had a SNES back in the day but actually didn't have all that many games for it. Where I lived we were kind of starved for good video game stores (plus Nintendo of Europe kind of sucked back then, so a lot of stuff that made it Stateside didn't come out over here -- most notably the Final Fantasy games), so I never acquired that many. I did get a few for Christmas and birthdays, though -- my fondest memories of the system definitely include Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, A Link to the Past, Star Fox (or Starwing as it was called here) and SimCity... the latter of which I didn't expect to like but enjoyed a whole bunch!
Since getting back into SNES in my adulthood, I've also become a fan of Quintet's games like I said in my comment on your last video, and I was delighted to see Actraiser get such a high billing on your list. That really is an excellent -- and highly original -- game that deserves much more attention. I also picked up a SNES Mini a while back, so that's given me the opportunity to catch up on a number of classics I kind of missed out on back when they were current!
I wish i had half the amount of enthusiasm you have explaining why these games are the true legends of the snes era
Some of my favourite SNES games were the Donkey Kong Country trilogy, Championship Pool, Super Mario World, Yoshi’s Island, Arkanoid: Doh It Again, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario Allstars, Bart’s Nightmare and Virtual Bart, just to name a few SNES favourites of mine
Great list. Mine is similar
1. Zelda LTTP
2. Super Mario World
3. Super Castlevania lV
4. Turtles lV
5. Super Metroid
6. Contra lll
7. Knights of the Round
8. Sunset Riders
9. NBA Jam
10. Demons Crest
Thanks for your hard work. I appreciate the love you show Ken Griffey, Jr. as it and Baseball Stars (NES) are my 1 and 1a all-time.
Thank you for what you said about your #1 about your happy place. It is my all-time favorite game. My life is a struggle and now I have one more happy place I can go to add to the one I already had.
I enjoy the stories about your grandparents. Awesome. Much love and again, thanks for sharing.
Exactly! Breath of the Wild is overrated it’s Skyrim with Zelda skin characters, also Zelda Link to the Past got me into the Zelda franchise, my number one is Super Metroid... Subscriber earned.
#1 - Yep, buying something with your own money as a kid is a special feeling. For me, it was Transformers Metroplex around 1986.
your top 20 seems to be 90% games from 90-92. did you stop playing around 93?
Contra 3!!! Soooo damn good, my coworker and I have been blasting through that game nonstop during lunch on the SNES Classic.
This was an awesome list Billy!!! My top 10 games not in order are SMW, FZero, Turtles in Time, Link to the Past, Sim City, Contra 3, Super Metroid, Super Mario Kart, Street Fighter Donkey Kong Country.
I just got turtles 4 for snes cause of u billy can't wait to play it ty man since u speak so highly of the game I've been on a mission to find it at a good price and I have finally done it so ty again
Best played co-OP, as I'm sure you already know.
My theory is the weenie dog was under Dracula's curse and because you didn't go see it and kept playing the curse was lifted and thus the weenie dog lived a full life.
My top 10 SNES games are
1. Super Mario RPG
2. Super Mario World
3. Yoshi’s Island
4. Contra 3 Alien Wars
5. TMNT 4 Turtles in Time
6. Super Punch Out!
7. Super Ghouls and Ghosts
8. Zombies Ate My Neigbor’s
9. Final Fantasy 3
10. Super Mario All Stars
I know this is not a Nintendo game but remember metal slug??
Do you remember battle toads??
You got RPGs on there but Chrono Trigger is maybe the best one ever?
Hey Billy, love your videos. The dog story was totally priceless, only you can have your cake and eat it too. I think I should name it the "Billy Effect" :) I never had a SNES of my own. So needless to say I spent a lot of time with friends who did have one playing games. Some of the games this gal really likes to this day are Mario All Stars, Yoshi's Island, Gradius III, any of the Mega Man stuff it was so great, and Demon's Crest, Pocky & Rocky. Those are just a few. Honorable mentions to Joe & Mac, Donald in Maui Mallard, Super Star Wars. But there are too many games its hard to just boil em down to a few.
Coolest grandmother ever!! Also not a bad list at all I'm 41 started with the mastersystem still playing today love pretty much all you and yours content I never thought I'd say this but more lists would be great
Great video just recently got back into snes and those are some great looking games.
Brilliant series of vids Billy 😃
I never had a SNES when I was a kid and always wanted one (I'm 40 now😝) BUT I do have the SNES mini now so am looking forward to playing some of these games you've mentioned!!
Just wish I could have all of them on there 😔 UN Squadron and Star Wars would have been amazing on there
I had Genesis, my boy had SNES and PC. DOOM, Wolfenstein, Heretic, Zelda , MARIO, Starfox and FF. LETS GO! We would also make our own adventures. D & D style.
You had a cool grandma! I wish my grandmother played video games when I was a child... I watch all the old shows with her, madlock, murder she wrote, golden girls (great show by the way)...
My favorite games on the SNES are Super Metroid, Super Mario World, DKC 2, Breath of Fire 2, and Chrono Trigger. Also, you really make me want to buy a copy of UN Squadron haha. I really like these lists, you put a lot of good work into them. Maybe do a top 20 PS1 games list? Or Genesis?
My Top 10 Super Nintendo games:
10: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
9. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Sounds like your grandma was awesome. My grandmas (both mom side and dad side) don't know a thing or two of video games. But I still loved them.
Love your passion, my dude!
" I couldn't hold my shit, I was just shitting everywhere "
I just love these videos. Dude keep doing these!!!!
The cave music in Yoshi's Island is so good, hell the entire soundtrack is one of the greatest on the system.
I am quite similar to you in that I have a whole bunch of favorite games for Super NES that are really tied with each other for first place. They are Act Raiser, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Brain Lord, Super Adventure Island 2, A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Secret of Mana, Super Mario World, and Super Mario All Stars.
Great list. Our top 3’s are the same just in different order. Mine is

10.Sim City

3. Mega Man X
2. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

A Link to the Past is something that will be with me til death. When I got my first couple jobs that music would come to me. Mostly dark world theme. Heck of a game.
14:49 mouth-fart.
Awesome video, Billy! The Legend of the Mystical Ninja is one in my top 10.
Also, BOTW is so great IMO. Interested to see what's next
Remember the game metal slug and fatal fury??
My top 5 would go:
1. Donkey Kong Country
2. Chrono Trigger
3. Super Metroid
4. Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate
5. Yoshi's Island
I think Billy's gram gets coolest Gram award. Going out and getting Yoshi's island.
When I was younger I didn't actually own the SNES system...I had to rent the games with the system and it was always something that made my young life a little better for a couple days at a time
Don’t understand the criticism of new videos? Game chasers eps will always take time to edit to get the quality we expect and this is a great video which helps us get to know more about the guys behind the show.
Also it helps boost the channel with how TH-cam is set up and hopefully reach out to more fans which can only be a good thing? Get a grip people
I have to honestly say my number one was F-Zero. This was before I had an SNES. My friend had one and the first game I ever played on it was F-Zero. I was blown away by it. Every time I went to his house I had to play it. I finally got my own and with F-Zero of course and it's the only game I can say I've ever completely mastered. I've beat the game on it's hardest difficulty and it feels pretty good.
So many laughs! Great video billy
Donkey Kong Country is the first SNES game I played at a friends house right next door, and it blew my mind an convinced me that yes, video games are cool.
You anticipation for Mario was like mine for Zelda.. I was so impatient I bought a used Super Famicom copy for $90 to get to play it earlier..great video yet again
One day me and my sister went to see my Granny Peggy and she had acquired an Acorn Electron micro computer (i'm from England) and she was playing Chuckie Egg on it and she was awesome on it. I'd never even seen her play a video game before that day and couldn't believe how good she got on it. She got addicted to it and would wipe the floor with anyone i know on it (including me). Her coolness factor shot through the roof after that. I miss my Granny Peggy a lot and i'd give anything to have one more day playing Chuckie Egg with her again. :(
Thanks for sharing!
Number 5 absolutely blew me away! I was stunned! Etc.....
Oh My Goodness!!! Nintendo Power really hyped me up for games and I remember begging my mom for the book all the time and she would always tell me "you can't eat a book" but she knew the love I had and she would always cave in and get it for me... Mind you I didn't always get the games I wanted but when I got older I was able to on my own... I remember renting games and it was always such a long ride home and I would read the info book that came with it all the way
i rate this video 5 out of 5 faps... thank you Pappa Billy. In all seriousness, keep up the great work, you chodes built quite the fanbase over the years and we love getting insight into your guys' memories, thoughts, opinions and chodenannigans.
Sounds like I'm not the only one with this summer cold, congested, scratchy throat thing these days
Great Video, did you ever play Demon's Crest? Any thoughts on the game?
I never got too far in it, but it's a good
I never had a SNES so I don't have a favorite list, but I have to say the games you showed look quite good. Not my type of games, but still, good. Apart from UN Squadron which I played in the arcades and my Atari ST and liked it a lot.
Thank you for sharing.
My first two consoles were the NES and SNES because they were handed down to me from my older cousin who had just got the PS1. Something happened to my NES, and I was more drawn to the SNES anyways, and I can remember that Super Mario World was always my favorite and I spent the most time on it. I think that would be my number one and my number two would be TMNT Tournament fighters. I would always use Donatello and nobody could touch me lol
I loooved Illusion of Time. It was so beautiful and I remember feeling so immersed in the story. Such happy memories. Secret of Evermore very similar memories. Terranigma and Secret of Mana also top, especially when I played alone. But with a friend I enjoyed very much Turtles in Time, Super Double Dragon and turnwise Final Fight.
Great list and memories, I share many of your top 20 Billy. LTTP definitely deserves the top spot. A few omissions though... no DK Country, DKC:2, Super Metroid, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario RPG, and Star Fox.
Number 1 as expected. Mine as well. Love some of the underrated picks like joe n mac on the,last one,and un squadron. A lot of co op games like myself as my older brother and I played together like you and Chris likely did.
Right now my favorite SNES game to play is Gradius 3..keep chasing!
Amazing list man. Mine are somewhat different. Enjoy.

Off topic but Billy you look as you’ve been putting a ton of effort into exercising and eating healthy. It looks incredible dude actually insane.
Great video and great list, Im not sure I could put a number order to my favorite SNES games. That would be hard.
"No Super Metroid?! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
That's what I see in the comments, lol
I don't think people understand that the list is heavily influenced by nostalgia, and if it's a game that Billy didn't have that kind of attachment to, he probably won't put it on the list.
I LOVE Super Metroid but it's not a game I grew up with, I only played it as an adult.
Street Fighter 2 turbo, Zelda, Mario world, Pilot wings, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 3, Castlevania 4, Fzero, Mario kart, Turtles 4
