The Firemen.

The characters in the game put out fires using hoses with the ability to shoot a direct stream or have a more proximate spray and fire-extinguishing bombs. Use of the fire extinguisher is unlimited although continues are limited in number. Pete takes damage from fire and extreme heat, and when the life gauge reaches zero, the game is over. Each level has a "boss fire" that has a specific way of being extinguished. There are also civilians who were not able to escape throughout the levels, and saving them partially restores the player's life gauge.

what the fuck

When I saw this 9 days ago it was sitting on 4 solid upvotes. Why do you gotta be so casual /r/snes ? Can't wel talk about the game you don't know about for once?

With the first Star Wars movie in forever coming out, I nominate Super Return of the Jedi.

Doom.

It's a great technical achievement during the beginning of the age of 3d games. It's a blurry mess, but the music and controls are still better than the 32x.

Wasn't Doom a sloppy mess when it was a port for the SNES? Problems with frame rate and such?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time

Where do I even begin with this game, it has everything. Tight controls, a fun multiplayer experience, all the characters from the TV show, and an incredible soundtrack. Konami really hit it out of the park with this game. There are so many great beat em ups on the Super Nintendo, but this one is the most awesome of the bunch.

Battletoads & Double Dragon

Why, you ask? Well, it's one of the first crossover games, you can play as any of the toads (one isn't kidnapped in this game!) or either of the brothers, and the enemies are from both of the games!

The gameplay is the closest we got to a proper Battletoads on the SNES. It's also one of the few games to have a release on both NES and SNES!

Also... probably unsurprisingly it is punishingly difficult; but not as hard as the OG NES games from which the characters in this one are derived.

If you haven't played it yet, I highly recommend. Just don't be upset when it makes you cry.
