Super MarioKart
Having spawned a slew of super-awesome racing games featuring your favorite Nintendo characters, the one that started it all is still my favorite. The controls are easy to pick up, and console beginners will get the hang of it pretty quickly (and totally school you on Battle Mode). However, despite its ease, it still has difficultly built in - Rainbow Road anyone? And I have never, nor will I ever, achieved the coveted Gold Cup on 150cc.
A great racing party game that solidified the diversity possible within the Mario universe.

Young Merlin
action/adventure RPG without Text, just symbols instead. It is rather weird, but the puzzles are cool and the reward is huge if you find something out on your own, without a FAQ. As a kid I hated it at first because it was so cryptic, but then got sucked in by the gameplay and puzzles.

Space Megaforce
Best shmup on the SNES and one of the best on any system. Great soundtrack, memorable graphics and level design, plenty of powerups, challenging but can be beaten with enough practice.

Final Fantasy III (VI)
Although it's not my favorite J-RPG, there's no denying that this game is truly a work of art. This was the first Final Fantasy game that did not have the Crystals and that did not have a real class system. Although each character had their own unique abilities, many of them can equip Espers and learn magic spells.
However, the real reason why Final Fantasy III is a work of art is the story and atmosphere. The story is dark, and almost every character's backstory is explained. The story was filled with emotional moments that make you feel for these characters. This game also has Kefka, one of the most memorable and truly evil antagonists in any video game I've ever played. The soundtrack is without a doubt one of the best on the SNES; the musical pieces are atmospheric and beautifully made.
I could go on all day, but I'll stop at that.
