I have fond memories of playing Super Mario RPG as a child. But when I revisited it 3-4 years ago, I don't know. I feel like it doesn't hold up very well. The isometric perspective is really awkward considering they tried making this game part platformer, thus that viewpoint caused problems for me a lot. I also think the combat is a bit too unbalanced and easy to exploit, the pacing isn't great, and the characters aren't memorable aside from Booster. Geno has developed a cult following, but do people remember anything about him beyond an admittedly fairly cool design?

The music is awesome, though. I'll give it that. I just think the game, while still pretty fine, as a whole feels a bit undercooked and was beaten quickly by Paper Mario.

10. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
9. Star Fox

7. Super Castlevania IV
6. Super Metroid
5. Chronno Trigger
4. Super Mario World
3. Mega Man X
2. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong-Quest
1. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

My list is, like, the exact same as yours, except I'd replace Star Fox and Mario Kart with Super Mario RPG and Front Mission. And I'd probably put Super Metroid at #1.

[Spark Of Spirit]

1. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
2. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
3. Mega Man X

I could have put them in any order, honestly.

Of course as Foggle pointed out, there are still a lot of games missing.

Of course as Foggle pointed out, there are still a lot of games missing.

The SNES has tons of good games, it's just that there are 15 or so that are generally considered to be the best of the best.

Do any of you guys have any favorite video game characters?

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

That depends. There aren't too many interesting or nuanced characters in most of the types of games that I tend to play, but if we're talking just in terms of what characters I feel are the most fun to play as, I'd have way too many to name, though hack n' slash protagonists like Ryu Hayabusa and Dante would probably top my list.

[gunswordfist]

proto man
mega man
link
dante
ken masters
yun
alys
porky minch
johnny cage!
rune walsh
sonic
tails

[gunswordfist]

i wanted to mention max, wrex and garrus and forgot. i somehow completely forgot about vinnie and vlad,

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Yeah, I would probably consider Max to be my favorite from an actual character standpoint.

[gunswordfist]

it's either max, proto man or alys for me. i wanted to separate the well written characters with the silent/mascot ones. funny enough, proto is both, imho.
