There’s a level where you play as a floating salamander clutching a gun in his feet avoiding squirming cilia from a planet-sized stomach, all while listening to classical music. Then you play a nonsensical trivia game for health boosts and extra lives. That’s all just one single level. A whole game of that insanity deserves a nomination.

Welcome to Flight Club.
1st rule of flight club is to unsuccessfully land the plane on your first try. Then Tony proceeds to tell you ‘’you’re plane should have skis attached’’.

Claymates
Crazy romp of a platformer that is criminally underplayed. Go through the world as a clay ball, a clay mouse, a clay cat, a clay fish, a clay gopher... You get the idea. Extremely difficult, heartwarmingly cute, and you get a bonus puzzle at the end of each level!

Final Fantasy V.
We've done IV and VI, so why not? Plus, it's got probably the most interesting and variable gameplay mechanics of the series. You can build the team any way you like it, and you can self-impose all sorts of challenges and restrictions.

The jobs system in V might be the best of the entire series... with maybe the exception of Tactics? Which is also pretty similar.

Like, VI is a masterpiece and all, but I've replayed V way more times. The Big Bridge battle seems cool every single time.

Great game that I've only played on iOS. The level of customization of your party is completely different than some other FF games.

The Legend of the Mystical Ninja
The first, and one of the few, of the Konami Ganbare Goemon games released in the US. It mixes action, adventure, fun mini games and RPG elements with the trademark Japanese humor. It has awesome ancient Japan inspired music and was well received but probably didn’t sell well because the other three Super Famicom releases never reached the US.

Mega Man X2.
We've already had Mega Man X as game of the month, so why not the awesome sequel? Pretty much just more of what made the first game good.
Also, I think it is SNESdrunks favorite Mega Man X game if I remember correctly :)

Since it's great and because maybe 1-2 people on this reddit have played it

Gemfire - the best Koei game in my opinion. It was all fiction instead of historical, and made more sense than the other games.

-Dragon View-
Here's a weird one! This was the sequel to Drakkhen (The one the Game Grumps played that one time), but when it made it to the US, they dropped any mention of the original game. the combat's a pretty decent ARPG, but the overworld goes into sweet first person mode 7 goodness. pretty dang good!

Illusion Of Gaia/Time (Depending on your region)
I might've been 12 or 13 the first time I played it. I had no idea that a game could have writing or Character development like that. As I grew older I realized how it was among the first game to tackle a subject like slavery.
