The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (better known as SNES) is the second Nintendo console, following the NES.
With so many popular titles, such as Chrono Trigger, Super Mario series, and Final Fantasy series, the SNES offers you advanced graphics compared with other systems at the time.
For those of you who played this remarkable console in the past, I bet you want to know the best SNES games of all time.
Some of you will probably remember (or even still own) some of the games mentioned on this list.

Having a conversation on which SNES game is the best is a never ending topic, but it’s fun!
The top 20 list should be in general order: Chrono Trigger, Zelda a link to the past, Super Metroid, Final Fantasy III, Super Mario World, Street Fighter II Turbo, Super Mario All-Stars, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy II, Star Fox, Secret of Mana, Donkey Kong Country 2, Contra III, Super Mario World 2, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV, Demon’s Crest, Super Castlevania IV, Actraiser, …. those 20 are the ones I really cared about. After that though many people like Earthbound, Super Punch Out, Tetris Attack, Kirby Superstar, Mega Man X, F Zero, Mortal Kombat II, Shadowrun, Earth worm Jim 1-2, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Mario Paint……One game I like though and no one ever mentions is STG Strike gunner. You get to select these super weapons to use each level and then they can never be used again….you have to be strategic to match the best use to the level at hand. I think this game is underrated but I’d like to hear from someone who has played it. Growing up my best friend and I both enjoyed quite a bit.
