Help me pimp my SNES! (Please?)
 

It's nearly summer--that time of year when a young gamer's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of expanding her Super Nintendo selection. (Well, mine does.)

At any rate, you all were incredibly helpful in terms of suggesting games for my Game Boy Advance, so I thought you'd be able to chip in a few ideas about some classic titles. Here's a brief list of my good games:

StarFox
Super Mario All-Stars
Super Mario World
Soul Blazer
Illusion of Gaia
Mega Man X
Chrono Trigger
Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past
Earthworm Jim 1 and 2
Donkey Kong Country 3

and my "Don't laugh, I was too young/didn't know at the time" games:

Animaniacs
(better than one might think, but still...I liked the Animaniacs better back when they were the Marx Brothers.)
Ren and Stimpy: Fire Dogs
(not too bad, this; just unfinishable witout a cheat)
Rocko's Modern Life: Spunky's Dangerous Day
(no apologies for this, it's neither great nor horrible)
AAAHH! Real Monsters
(look, I loved the cartoons, that's why all the Nicktoons games. I was naive.)
Turtles IV: Turtles in Time
(my cousin left it at my house once, never reclaimed it)
X-Men: Mutant Apocolypse (also one my cousin left)
Mario is Missing
Mario's Time Machine
(I'm so sorry. *So* sorry.)
Mario Paint
(fun, but only so much I can do with it)
Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest
(better than its reputation, worse than you'd hope)
Kirby's Avalanche
(someday, I'd like a *real* Kirby game...)
Tetris 2
(again, not bad, just...meh)
Lester the Unlikely
(my only defense is my ignorance of its horrors before I picked it up)

more as I remember them. Any suggestions in any genre are appreciated.

Thanks again in advance

Satan's Onion

May I suggest Act Raiser? It's a lovely little combination of of side-scrolling platforming and a watered-down world builder...except in the world building, you have to protect your people from various flying monsters with an angel that shoots arrows.

It's very fun.

Here's a list of a couple of games you should probably get that you haven't listed.....

1. Donkey Kong Country 1
Why not DKC2? Because I love the first one and the others get really frustraitng for me (I'm just a sore loser.... XD).
2. Megaman 7
3. All of the other Super Mario Worlds.
The second is really strange and the game play is completely different than the other Super Mario Worlds. It's still fun, though.
4. Super Mario Kart
I love this game, I'd always play it and it just endless fun. Rainbow Road is a real bitch, though. Heheh.....
5. A Contra game wouldn't hurt anyone.
Well, it sure as hell hurt my pride due to how HARD it gets and how many times I've died in the goofiest ways. I still manage to find it fun, though.
6. Street Fighter 2
This is a must. A MUST.....
7. Mortal Kombat
Gawd playing this game rocks. I always did love doing the uppercut finisher in the pit stage...
8. An F-Zero game..
Mainly because going at exaggeratingly fast speeds is fun. Even if you end up falling off the track and exploding when you touch the squares....

There's probably more, but this is all of the ones that really come to mind. Some of these I haven't beaten, but I spent a lot of hours as a younger child mindlessly playing these games. Even if I never got far.....

There is a Kirby game that it's like Super Mario ALL Stars, with lot's of games from Kirby. Get it.

Terraenigma too, is great RPG.

Talking about RPGs, how about Super Mario RPG?

No love for Megaman X?

Super Metroid?Hell, does this one even needs a description?

Are you ashamed of Turtles in Time? TURTLES IN TIME?! You should be ashamed of being ashamed of it. And I suggest Final Fantasy VI.

Final Fantasy V and VI (III on SNES in USA) for the GBA are coming out later this year for the USA... I can't wait. :P

Desert Strike - a straigh forward helicopter shooter. there is a simple pleasure in strafing enemy bunkers with rockets.

Earthbound - a very fun and wierd RPG. uncertain as to how difficult it will be to find, as it currently sits at cult status.

Pilotwings - flight, parachute, handglider, and rocket belt simulator. more fun than you might think.

I also second the suggestions of Super Metroid (you're all shocked, i know), and Megaman X.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
Good luck finding it cheap though, as it will usually cost you a pretty penny. I'd say wait for the Wii's Virtual Console if I knew it would be on that though.

I see a disturbing lack of Simcity as well.

Prince of Persia is fun as well. Damn difficult though.

There are of course, others, but I wanted to make sure these got out there.

The Wandering God

You might like some NBA Jam or Looney Toons B-Ball.

Definitely Earthbound, any Final Fantasy game you can, Terranigma. Act Raiser 1 and 2 are also extremely unique and fun.

Contra 3, Street Fighter 2...Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Smash TV, EVO. Secret of Mana. Kirby's Superstar.

Fushigi no Dungeon 2, if you can find it. There's a whole nother list of J-carts, but then again, you need a Supa Famicom for that.

Damn, Locke just stole every game I was going to suggest. >_<

hmmm... nope, drawing a blank. DAMN YOU LOCKE!
