now you’re playing with superpower
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down the top 10 greatest
SNES games of all time
number 10
Final Fantasy 3 aka Final Fantasy 6
kicking off our list is the role-playing
game by square which was confusing leery
numbered for North America in the glory
days Square was a steadfast supporter of
Nintendo consoles raising the bar for
Japanese RPGs it was way ahead with
incredible customization greater battle
mechanics and perfect gameplay balance
best of all its characters were given
their due building a strong sense of
attachment with the player number 9
Street Fighter 2 turbo with so many
fantastic tournament fighters from
killer instinct to the bloodless version
of Mortal Kombat we just had to go out
on a limb and single out the Capcom
juggernaut that started it all more
specifically we’ve chosen this upgrade
seeing as the other hundred versions
tinkered a little too much this one
merely sped things up and added more
playable characters to an already
perfect two-player brawling you
number eight Star Fox known as star wing
in Europe this is the first entry of the
on rail-shooter series using the super
FX chip it showcased unthinkable polygon
3d graphics for the system with the hype
pretty much dead now what remains is
still a fun and action-packed title
unlike any other one can argue that they
didn’t really need much more than
talking animals that fly starships to be
a raging success but it definitely
surpassed the expectations of that
awesome premise number seven Super Mario
RPG The Legend of the Seven Stars this
is the game in which nintendo’s flagship
property was handled by Square to give
us an unlikely star to a surprisingly
stellar RPG arriving at the tail end of
the system’s life it pushed the graphics
to the very limits not only making
Bowser your ally it introduced deep
gameplay spectacular level design and
beloved characters subsequent Mario RPGs
just haven’t been able to scratch that
edge number 6 Super Metroid the third
title in the series
it follows bounty hunter Samus Aran as
she journeys to retrieve a Metroid
creature in the possession of the space
pirates earning hundreds of near-perfect
review scores its depth and complexity
earned Super Metroid a place as an
instant classic nonlinear design
scripted events crisp art style it was
all way ahead of its time
number five Chrono Trigger another
spectacular JRPG by the Masters over its
square it continues to be considered one
of the greatest games ever made
transporting gamers to a world similar
to Earth you travel through time to
recruit warriors from different eras
innovative and revolutionary this
time-travel tale made use of plot
related side quests a ton of character
development and alternate endings this
cartridge is a collector’s item so if
you’ve got one in your attic it’s time
to start digging number four Donkey Kong
Country 2 Diddy’s conquest well as
groundbreaking and amazing as the
original game was we’ve decided to
instead give the nod to the follow-up
that edged it out in almost every
respect ironically Donkey Kong wasn’t
even a playable character in this ROM
regardless did he and his girlfriend
Dixie’s trek to save the titular ape up
the platforming fund with longer more
diverse levels new bonus stages new
character abilities catchy tunes and
arguably the best graphic seen on the
system
number three Super Mario Kart this
popular mascot racing franchise and all
of the Clones started here a two-player
racer this game was the party favorite
for years the third best-selling SNES
game of all time with 8 million copies
sold we featured the now classic
Nintendo cast of characters and ground
breaking mode 7 graphics loaded with
challenges it allowed players to race
and even battle in large arenas simply
put without Mario Kart there would be no
go-karting sub genre number 2 Super
Mario World now this is a launch title
the 4th mario game from the core series
it was a pack in title for the system a
wildly fun gorgeous and well-crafted
16-bit platformer it took the fun out of
the Mushroom Kingdom
and into Dinosaur Land not just
introducing Yoshi and a ton of new
gameplay elements it went on to sell 20
million copies Mamma Mia
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
number one The Legend of Zelda a link to
the past taking the top spot on our list
the third installment in the
action-adventure series bringing back
the beloved top-down perspective of the
original this quest to save Hyrule from
Ganon involved rescuing the seven
descendants of the sages straddling
depth and accessibility and packaged in
a tight and lovable art style a Link to
the Past
