[@dwaynemenzies8824]

Thanks John it's been a difficult day.

[@Typical.Anomaly]

I share your somewhat unpopular opinion that FF2 is better than FF3. Got it for my 14th bday in '92 along with ALTTP and an AsciiPad turbo controller. Helluva nice bday! I've played FF2 from start to finish somewhere around 50-70 times, and managed to get the Pink Tail twice ever without cheats. In 1994 or so I got Rydia to Level 70 before Leviatan (sic) attacks you on the ship to Baron. Once she got the Virus spell (~Lvl 35 or so?) I killed off the rest of the party and grinded her up to 70 with no problem except for the fact that it took around 80 hours... Never managed to get all of the random call magics in the same save file though. Right now I'm playing through a QOL hack that has new items, areas, and bosses. It also allows hits over 9999 (think it's 14999) and even allows you to change party members once you find the Big Whale! Haven't beat Zeromus on that one yet but when I do it'll be with Cecil, Yang, Palom, Porom, and either Tellah or Rosa (probably Rosa- gotta bring the GF if you're gonna save the world, right?) Kain can even cast some minor spells. I've finished FF3 a couple dozen times too and it's a beautiful game- just not as good as FF2. Despite this, unfortunately I've never finished Chrono Trigger. Got close to the end a couple of times but then I got distracted by life and forgot what to do next when I came back to it. Conversely, I can jump into any random save of FF2 and know what to do within a few minutes of adventuring.

FFIV is my favourite game of all time

agreed!!

I never got to play these games growing up but your love for them is infectious! Now I want to play them all

[@JohnRiggs]

There's still time.

[@seconddimension9764]

We would spend countless hours playing Mario Kart and battling it out with our group of friends over the weekends. It just had so much play and replay value.

[@Stinger420]

F-Zero is absolutely a 5-star. A 5-star classic! I too was never very big on racing games, but another one I really enjoyed was Extreme G on N64.

[@fazares]

seconded

[@OzymandiasWasRight]

Recently played it again while scrolling through my SNES collection and holy crap does it hold up. Still looks amazing and the sense of speed is unlike anything from that generation. Absolutely a 5 star game.

[@bobbybobbatunday9959]

Agreed, but I have to add Rock and Roll racing to this. My favorite non Mario kart race game of all time.

[@Stinger420]

@@bobbybobbatunday9959 Ya know, I must admit,...I never did play Rock n' Roll Racing. I remember reading about it in Nintendo Power, hearing nothing but positive from GamePro mag, and I recall seeing it at my local ma/pa video store for rent. You know what it was, it was one of those 'I see it every time I'm here, looks cool enough, I'll rent it next time...' and yet 'next time' never came. Heh! But! I do have Snesx9 on my 'puter here + all the corresponding ROMs, so maybe later this week, I'll get down on my emulator & give it a go.

[@N1120A]

F-Zero is the definition to a 5 star game. The racing combined with the richness if game play was off the charts.

[@travishnatiuk1309]

The lost Vikings was an all-timer for me. I thought the ingenuity to make a puzzler actually fun and exciting waa amazing. The mechanics worked seamlessly and the level design was unique and rarely redundant. Story was typically 90s over the top wacky but had a few laughs as well. Definitely a hidden gem

[@OlBeej]

Plus! A reference to Evil Dead (or The Day the Earth Stood Still)

[@iconoclast137]

i'm 39 and i find your channel to be extremely entertaining and nostalgic and comforting. thank you for curating this magical time in history for the modern world. keep up the great work!

[@Joshhow]

Yay Demons Crest. I love that game. Another game that I personally rate 5 stars is Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals, I would love to see more people try that wonderful JRPG.

[@OG-SherlockHolmes]

MK 3, Super Punchout, Killer Instinct, Illusion of Gaia, Secret of Mana. Probably a few more, snes was absolutely loaded.

[@marccaselle8108]

Yes, the library holds up well. On my RetroPie I loaded up all the systems and games I enjoy. Most of the time I come back to super Nintendo and Sega Genesis.

[@whosaidthat84]

Can't believe he overlooked Killer Instinct. It was the perfect marriage of MK and SF, yet created it's own unique game.

[@michaelreddy4697]

I got my first job out of college in 1996 when my local Kay-bee's and Toy's R Us was clearing out there SNES games. Every two weeks I would stop in and pick up two or three games for around 60 bucks. I remember picking up the Mega Man X Trilogy for 10 or 15 bucks each and Earthbound and E.V.O. for $5 bucks each.

[@bernielindell]

Been watching your channel religiously lately. Awesome work man! Keep ‘em coming.

[@RealziesCuts]

Good job! UN Squadron is so legendary I not only beat it on the super Nintendo I went out of my way to beat it in the arcade as there was a small video game dealer at the flea market that had it in his booth. I love this game so much, just like Axelay & demons crest! You smashed it hard on this video ✊ 🥇🏆🎮

[@Stinger420]

Yup, yup! UN Squadron I remember buying with that years b-day & x-mas money. My birthday is in November, so..ya know,...after the holidays I got a little cash stash. I remember seeing it featured in a few pages of Nintendo Power, I watched my neighbor play it at his house like once or twice, but pretty much went out and bought it on impulse. That was one impulse buy that worked out! That game quickly became a favorite of mine as a teen,...even if I had trouble getting past stage 2 and 3... Ha!

[@ArchHokie06]

I came here to give props to Riggs for including this one. It was such a challenge but there was so much fun in upgrading your plane and your cannon. Once I finally got the Efreet I felt like a God. UN Squadron is one of those games I've come back to my whole life. There was even a point a few years ago that I got into speedrunning it. I wish more people were aware of how great it is.

[@Frigidevil]

Absolutely, and don't forget the music in UN Squadron! Even the stage select music is so damn good.

[@Stinger420]

@@Frigidevil I concur!

[@CelticShae]

This is the first time I've ever watched one of your multiple game reviews videos and agreed with you from top to bottom. You always do good work, friend. Game on 🤘

[@LinkMEP]

My main missing 6-star from the guidebook would be Illusion of Gaia. So underrated! Other ones I find missing would be Flashback, Secret of Mana, and Kirby Super Star.

[@peppygrowlithe]

Love the list! I would definitely include Secret of Mana on there for the gorgeous world, insanely good OST, and three player co-op. Even if the battle system wasn't perfect its strengths more than make up for it!

[@chriskoschik391]

Too bad we didn’t get the sequel in the west. An upgrade in every category except sound track. Secret of Mana has just a slighter better selection of songs.

[@joshuamckay3309]

This is the biggest travesty with this list. Secret of mana is the GOAT.

[@austinflynn5374]

Yeah, Secret of Mana definitely wins the OST battle between those two.

[@allenj6886]

Great list! Thanks for all the videos. Only game I would’ve added was Contra 3.

[@Nightweaver1]

I agree with most of those, and played a lot of them growing up. So nice to see a channel like this do some nostalgic looks back at my gaming childhood.

[@SlayerRunefrost]

There's no shortage of them.

[@sponge2229]

Even though I was a Sega kid. But my sister owned a SNES. I got to play all the best games during the infamous console wars. FF2, FF3, Contra 3, TMNT, Super Mario World, Sim City, Mario Paint, Zelda Link to The Past and etc. All amazing games. Best time of my childhood.

[@Butterforyourrolls]

Riggs, I have been down with pneumonia for 4 days and I have watched so much of your content homie. Thank you!!!!

[@ehk4296]

Man... this list is so much better. Some great classics on here with hours of fun with each title.

[@DarksladeDiaries]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors is an awesome game. Sometimes referred to as "Goofy Gauntlet" by my daughter and myself, this is such an awesome one or two player game. Colorful, cartoony and '50s driven in my opinion. It's like playing a comic book almost. Great choice. ...but Axelay? yeesh..

[@christophmatthews4313]

I completely agree with everything said.

[@4eberhardetc983]

Hi Jonh!! Just dropping by to let you know that I started collecting after watching you talking about Evo. Still have not played it, but Im sure the time Will come!! Big hug to you from México City!

[@TheMultiGunMan]

I can't wait to see your Genesis and Master System 1 and 5 star videos.

[@rodneytorres5936]

Your list is spot on John. I especially agree with Pilot Wings being a 5 star game. That game entertained my brother and I for hours on end back in the day. Now I enjoy playing Pilot Wings with my kids

[@bcb147]

So glad you did this addendum list, and even more profoundly appreciative of including Final Fantasy II. It is still to this day my favorite game, full stop. Greatest characters, music, story, and greatest game ending ever. F-Zero definitely deserved this honor as well; it was the first and most dedicated game to show off the SNES Mode 7 graphics, it is pulse pounding and the music is so insanely gripping. I think if Street Fighter II Turbo deserved 5 stars as an incredible arcade adaptation, then Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time absolutely deserves it. Ridiculously well done and at the peak of Turtle Popularity it was a gem to play at home. One you briefly mentioned was Super Ghouls N Ghosts, and if Super Castlevania IV earns the honor, Super Ghouls and Ghosts certainly deserves it as well. Another one of those early runs of SNES games that were so beautiful to look at and listen to, it made the difficulty easier to swallow. Contra 3 falls into that same consideration. The game was sci fi shooting action at its finest with a soundtrack that was bonkers. And the giant T-800 exoskeleton boss was just a mind screw first time you played it! Finally, Starfox deserves the 5 star too as another one of those titles that bent the technology as far as it would go without breaking.

[@jeremyscout3464]

My phone's ringtone is actually the briefing music from Pilotwings. There's something so incredibly nostalgic about it. Reminds me of staying over at a friend's house back in the real early 90s playing SNES late into the night.

[@MrOldskoolgamez]

Glad you made this follow up video John! For me, Metal Warriors and Battle Toads / Double Dragon are 5-Star SNES games. Also, did Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat, and Primal Rage make it on the original 5-Star list? Also, the original Donkey Kong Country is 5-stars in my book!

[@PixelsNcreatureS]

A friend in school and I would trade our copies of Mario Paint every day or so to see what the other drew. Always tried to top each other. Sometimes we would alter a pic the other drew like add stuff or change things. I think I still have his cartridge lol

[@aceone2156]

Great Follow up Video, very necessary based on how many over looked games there were.

mystical ninja is a super sleeper 5 star. I remember being amazed that you could go to the arcade and emulate NES games at the time

[@StuffedVulture]

As a kid I could never quite beat that Gradius level in Mystical Ninja.

[@dan7291able]

Mystical Ninja 64 absolutely blew me away, an all timer for me

[@ohdaUtube]

We all missed out on the subsequent goemon games on SFC... Those were really fun

[@andyfranklin5004]

Thank you John, it feels so similar the way you grew up with these games at the same time I did. Your videos keep getting better and better so keep it up! Tmnt wasn't originally 5 stars, unbelievable. I agree with every entry here.

[@omegaweapon116]

F-Zero was the first game I bought with my own money when I was a kid because I didn't have enough money for Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy III. This was around 1995. I ended up loving the game and there was even a little comic in the instruction manual. The gameplay and music were way better than what I was expecting.

[@orondedavis]

Oh John, you say the darndess things about all the games.😂🤣 15:41

[@sutorippuwebmaster8783]

What I used to do in MarioPaint to make myself laugh irrationally was go into the music mode and select the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star song, then change all the stars to cats and turn the speed up. I was easily amused.

[@geoffkemp7]

I cannot tell you how many hours i sunk into mariopaint after school and on weekends. That game is so underrated!! Glad to see it get some love. As well as UN Squadron!

[@paine254]

Pilotwings for both snes and n64 have always been underrated. In my opinion. Superb games.

[@CarecaRetrogamer]

Heyyyy John! Now those are definitely some 5 stars games too, for sure! I even have some of those in the list, like Demon's Crest, Turtles in time and F-zero... I'd love to have others such as EVO and Mario RPG, though... I thought I'd see Sunset Riders in that list too... That was also an amazing port by Konami... Anyways, great video, man! Gotta luv the SNES, it brings back so many good memories... Cheers, man!

[@ziyocon2324]

Honestly amazed neither you or pat put kirby superstar up as a 5 star i know it can be easy but so much fun whetheryour playing single or co-op. I go back and play it a lot even now so many memories with my brother and friends playing it easily she be up there. Also think Soulblazer or Illusion of Gaia could be up there to really solid games.

Mario kart SNES still to this day is legendary, and the Vs mode is hyper intense,

[@snbks4ever]

ALWAYS a fun time to hear what is the best of the best on one of my favorite systems!! Super Mario RPG, TMNT 4, Final Fantasy 2m Super Mario Kart for sure belong on the list. IMO WWF Raw, Donkey Kong Country 3 should be on the list too

[@Mazvec]

Good call on TMNT4, UN Squadron, and Final Fantasy IV (II) which I prefer over 6 (3) bc story and that in 6 everyone becomes a mage and the abilities don’t matter as much.

[@BigHead2615]

Thank you! I had watched that other "5 stars SNES games" video, and I kept thinking, where's Mario RPG, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and yes even Final Fantasy II or IV, lol. I don't know if I can think of any others, most of these are really darn good, but possibly Castlevania Dracula X. I've actually played Rondo Of Blood more than Dracula X, but both are still solid titles that I feel like get overshadowed by IV, Symphony Of The Night and even III.

[@FoxMcCloudFF7]

@6:54 you just hit that tanuki in the nads with the yo-yo! xd

[@coke1412]

Great list. I'll totally check EVO and keep FF2 in mind. One little detail probably others have mentioned, Turtles in Time isn't really a direct port of the arcade version. The SNES one is improved with more stages, different bosses, and other features like choosing art style or 2 player versus. Throwing enemies at screen is also new I think. That's (maybe) why we didn't see the arcade version as a kid, since it wasn't that great, who knows.

[@huffdm]

Your last two nailed both my missing 5 star games - UN Squadron and Zombies Ate My Neighbors are certainly both 5 star games! Good call on those ones!

[@andronikoswendsofchange1151]

Final Fantasy II was my introduction into RPGs back in the mid 90s. I was taken with the turn-based combat, optimizing equipment, the characters, the world, the bosses... It sparked a fascination and enjoyment of RPGs that carries on to this day. It's my favorite Final Fantasy.

[@mjdf122]

Loved these games and the other lists games such amazing memories in the 1990s with SNES I’m happy and blessed to have seen all of gaming from 1980 to Now what a wild ride it’s been thanks John Riggs

[@Ouijawii]

awesome picks! you picked all the games i felt were missing from the other list. well done

[@joemills931]

Great work man! Especially U.N. squadron. If I added a game Illusion of Gaia has to be up there as a five star game in my opinion.

[@DiceWatari]

Hell yeah! Couldn't agree more.

[@RetroGamingWithEdgarRivera]

I'm so happy to see that Demon's Crest is in the 5-Star SNES Games list. Because that game aside from Super Metroid another childhood favorite of mine, Demon's crest is one of my favorite snes titles and it was my snes second game right after Super Metroid when I got my Super Nintendo in my case the Snes Jr that was the console that I got when I was a child which I still own it to this day. It is always a joy to play that game and the music is just glorious,Majestic,nostalgic I love it. I will check out the previous video and keep it up ;-)

[@retropipes8863]

Nice compilation of SNES games!

[@gustavogalembeck7711]

Mystical Ninja, UN Squadron, Turtles In Time and Zombies are among my all time favorite games, glad to see they getting their deserved 5 stars. I would certainly add Secret of Mana and possibly Super Turrican (it even got a perfect score by Gamepro at the time, and displayed it proudly in the box)

[@dotheevolution78]

Awesome T-shirt Riggs.

[@The1ReviewBoard]

Another great video John. What Games for the Sega consoles, PlayStations, and Older Nintendo aged the best?

[@itsjustagamechannel]

Phenomenal music and sound in Axelay as well!

[@deepstothepeeps]

Glad to see Demon's Crest and U.N. Squadron get some love. Both are 5-stars, for sure.

[@richardanthony8951]

Great list! I was shocked Mario RPG wasn’t on the initial list. There’s a few missing from both: Illusion of Gaia, Ogre Battle, Killer Instinct, Secret of Mana are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

[@Shrapnel82]

Illusion of Gaia has a much stronger, more mature story than most contemporaries. The gameplay was also deep, with plenty of different actions. The exploration made it always feel you were on a big adventure. Killer Instinct was the most advanced fighting game for the SNES, and far beyond Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat (both also excellent game series).

[@themanthemyththebanger]

@@Shrapnel82 the Killer Instinct combo formula was so advanced nobody fully wrapped their head around it among the kids I played games with at the time, and therefore I think it suffers in the nostalgia marketplace now.

[@jexthegamer]

You never saw Turtles in Time in the arcade?!? I used to choose which arcades to go to based on whether or not they had this game. This game was a NECESSITY for my birthday parties!

[@8ByteBrian]

Very glad to see F-Zero, Super Mario Kart, Pilotwings, & TMNT IV make the list. I would still add Gradius III & Star Fox. I know Gradius III wouldn't be a lot of people's first choice, but it was one of the first launch title shmup's that came out with the SNES & notwithstanding that, it was awesome!! Yes there are "better" shmup's on the system, especially for a lot of "shmup snobs" lol but without a doubt, Gradius III was what "wet everyone's whistle" for shmup's in the first place & why almost every software developer released one of their own.

[@TRKTKO]

[@lolroflstomp]

I've spent so many hours playing so many of these games. This is a great list.

[@syncmonism]

This is a great list. Some of these games have also aged extremely well. Super Mario RPG, for example, is still worth playing today. It is an extremely well polished RPG with a good/ fun story and narrative, with an art style that's aged well, excellent sound design and music, which also blends a variety of exploration, platforming, and puzzle solving into it as well.

[@grantwagner6781]

Speaking of a new Pilotwings, consider playing Ultrawings on the PSVR. It has the same mix of Arcade action and light simulation

[@jasonmckinney77]

UN Squadron is a game I could loose myself in for hours. One of the best arcade ports ever to the system.

[@likestocomeovertohelp]

I agree completely about Final Fantasy 2. I played through that game at least 3 or 4 times growing up.

[@genericname872]

Thanks for posting this…I like “the ‘real’ 5 star” concept. Maybe we will see Riggs 5 star episodes as a series?

[@genericname872]

[@AkamoriRivals]

HEY! Legend of the Mystical Ninja. This was my shout out in the last video. 100% an amazing game.

[@JohnRiggs]

Much needed recommendation. IT was also the first game I purchased (or, truthfully, my mom bought it for me)

[@AkamoriRivals]

@@JohnRiggs i owned Cowboy Kid for the NES and absolutely loved it. So much so, in fact, that it may be my favorite NES game.

And I have so many fond memories with it.

[@travisswiger9213]

Definitely agree on Zombies Ate My Neighbors - One of my SNES Favorites!! I use to rent it every summer on vacation at the beach as a kid. Local video store in my home town didn't have it as an option. Will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@shorterrecording]

Looking at my copy right now and TMNT 4 does have five stars.

[@soulblazerz]

Ff IV/2 is the one Square seems to give the most love to, and I think that’s for good reasons.

[@Shrapnel82]

There were so many missing from the previous list. Demon's Crest was the biggest missing game. This one I still play all the way through occasionally. The graphics are still amazing in the detail. When fighting Grewon (the wolf in the ice stage), if you fly too high for him to hit you, he'll roar in frustration. The gremlins shooting arrows near the end will laugh at you if they hit you, and stomp their feet if they miss. That and the soundtrack make slower playthroughs enjoyable. There were so many details, on top of all the different crests and powers to collect. I could stroll through levels just soaking in the atmosphere. Super Mario Kart needed to be here. I can't think of a more fun SNES racer. Super Mario RPG definitely needs to be there too. Many RPGs don't appeal to me that much due to the fights being boring. Usually, you just select attack and repeat until you win. If it's a tougher fight, then it select magic attacks. It sill gets repetitive over time. There is no control, and you rely entirely on the RNG to determine how much damage you do, or even if you hit or not. Mario RPG, with timed attacks, gave more control over combat. TMNT IV also is a must add. It is easily one of the top brawlers, and another I can play through over and over. You have a lot more moves to use (attack, special attack, slide attack, shoulder ram, jumping front kick, dive kick, flying forward kick, rapid jump attack, and two different throws), and needed to use different tactics to defeat different enemies. You couldn't just move to the right and hit attack. I never felt bored or that it got repetitive. I would add Secret Of Evermore. It was the most humorous console game I played, due in large part to it being written in English (so no jokes lost in translation). The 4 main settings were all detailed and creative, and there was a lot to explore. One of the most charming, and overall fun action RPGs. Batman Returns is overlooked as an awesome brawler. You have a lot of moves at your disposal (punch, jump kick, dive splash, jumping high kick, double head smash, toss, throw against the background, and gadgets like the baterang)... something I loved about TMNT, and this keeps combat more interesting. The side scrolling sections weren't as developed as Batman on NES, but were a good addition to vary things up, and offered new gameplay. The driving section also was enjoyable. It's a game I can always have fun with if I don't know what I want to play. I could put all the Donkey Kong Country games here. Maybe the 2nd is the best, but that doesn't detract from the other 2.

[@artemis9789]

I absolutely loved U.N. Squadron. You didn't mention the brilliant soundtrack that it had!

[@alecedgeworth2814]

Good list :) I would have added Dragon Quest/warrior 2 & 3

[@snsdkbopper7819]

You and that book video both left out Contra 3, and Donkey Kong Country, and that’s just off the top of my head.

[@oranfebook3639]

These are great! Still enjoying them

[@jonyze]

Lufia 2, 7th Saga, Final Fantasy Tactics, Robotrek, Lagoon are underrated games that should be 5 stars. The story lines, graphics and soundtracks always brings back those 90s nostalgic experiences that will never be the same no matter how many games are made today. Classic games are best today games are just too computerized and not as much fun. I enjoy your channel is a great channel to enjoy the classics 4 life.

[@Mistahands0me]

Zombies ate my neighbors is one of my all time favorites, I need to play it again, I never beat it when I was younger I always played it with my sister, brings back so many memories. Joe and mac was also a great game

[@Catastrophic-hk3mh]

I would love to see you do a video on 5 star intellivision games. I had as a kid 30 games for mine due to the fact that it was at the end of its run and I scored great bargin bin carts at the mall. Worm Whomper was my all time favorite classic along with Sewer Sam and Night Stalker

[@shivanhaven]

Demon's Crest was the last big box retail store (Walmart) purchase for the SNES! I only paid $10 for it because this was already deep into N64 being out.

[@toddburgess5056]

UN Squadron! Yeahhhh! Hit and away is my style!

[@the8wave]

Loving these videos. I’m a little sad that you didn’t mention Illusion of Gaia but I understand that’s not for everyone.

[@JohnRiggs]

I didn't get around to playing Gaia until later in life (literally maybe 5 years ago) I should have played it back in the day. Such a great game.

[@JamesLCrockett]

You got me with the last one, john. kinda sad that they didnt make a 5 star wrestling game for the snes

[@JohnRiggs]

Hammerlock can be pretty fun. And Natsume Championship Wrestling is AJPW and totally decent. I would give Fire Pro Wrestling X a 5-star but that's super famicom.

[@JamesLCrockett]

@@JohnRiggs there’s a couple good ones for sure. And there were a few that weren’t great but still playable like wwf raw and wrestle mania: the arcade game. But none that were anywhere near 5 star. My biggest miss on both lists is Ken Griffey jr. Presents MLB. Just my personal preference but it’s by far the snes game I played the most except maybe Mario Kart which I’m glad to see you included.

Absolutely agree with E.V.O. The Legend of The Mystical Ninja, Mario Paint, Super Mario Kart, and Zombies Ate My Neighbours. While I’m going to be completely bias by throwing Illusion of Gaia onto the list.
