There's two ports of Marble Madness. The port released in the US and Europe was made by EA, and the one released in Japan was made by Tengen. The Japanese port is way closer to the original arcade in terms of both the graphics and soundtrack.
Loved loved loved this one. It was basically Donald Duck trying his hand at being Indiana Jones, going all over the globe in search of a treasure for Daisy.
That was really something boss, that the game didn't give you a linear path to follow. You had to figure stuff out and go back to certain areas to make jazz work, and that's pretty sharp, aye.
An excellent Genesis/Mega Drive game I didn't play until about 15 years ago: Ristar. I think I first discovered it in the Sega Mega Drive Collection on PS3 and it still held up remarkably well all those years later.
There was a good stretch of time where instead of "Game Name II", they would call it "Super Game Name", regardless of if it actually received a SNES release.

Sonic 2 and Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage were also on my most played list.
It was the only game we had for the Genesis for some reason.
(Looking for the Pink Justifier 2nd Player gun for my collection if anyone has any leads 😊)
Battle Squadron
Mickey's Castle of Illusion
DecapAttack
Comix Zone
Pat Riley Basketball
It really is a shame that Fantasia didn't have the play control and game dynamics of Castle of Illusion.
Or if you want a deep cut, Dashin' Desperadoes
Micro Machines
Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament
Micro Machines 96

... also, because a lot of people already said Sonic the Hedgehog:

*Beyond fun!*
I'm still not over how hard that game was as a kid.
Which is WILDLY different than the Shadowrun video game most folks are familiar with which is the Beam Software one for SNES!
(The first turned based RPG I ever beat as a kid.)
Carefully named, because I would also like Phantasy Star in my veins.
Weirdly, not on the Super Nintendo...
