Super Mario Kart is not a "decent" racing game. It basically revolutionized the racing genre - that and Gran Turismo. I've seen a lot more Mario Kart knock-offs than Starcraft knock-offs.

18 GoldenEye 007 N64 FPS (Second. Best. Multiplayer. Game. Ever.)
- ----- --- ---
10 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time N64 Action/Adventure (Didn't play enough of Terranigma to really judge it. But dammit, it's up against OoT. It can never win.)
- ----- --- ---
8 Super Mario Kart SNES Racing (Online = boo. Yes, I'm an ass.)
- ----- --- ---
12 Super Mario Bros. NES Platformer (The game that pretty much defined 2D gaming, or one of the most entertaining 2D games of all time. Hm, hard one. Or, not really. Respect your elders.)
- ----- --- ---
6 Final Fantasy 6 SNES RPG (It's not the best FF game, but then again, Sonic 3 wasn't the best Sonic game either. And FF6 is more fun. Mm.)
- ----- --- ---
14 Tetris Attack SNES Puzzle (Becuase it's fun as hell. And also because I didn't play the other game.)
- ----- --- ---
4 Chrono Trigger SNES RPG (Square games kinda dropped in quality after FF7.)

Choices bolded for your convenience.

SSBM
FFT
WHY MUST I CHOOSE? Oh, wait, I don't have to. No vote on Terranigma vs. OoT
No vote; not fond of either
SMB, but I never played the other...
Sonic 3 sucked alone, so FF6
ARGH! See Terranigma vs. OoT
Chrono Trigger

Edit: Oh, right, my whole damn layout's bold. Choices italicized.

2. Super Smash Bros. Melee. Expanded on an alerady fun fighting game with a bunch of new characters and some viable single-player modes.

18. Goldeneye 007. Tactics felt too much like a ripoff of Vandal Hearts from what I played of it.

N/A (Never played Terranigma, didn't get very far in OoT)

8. Super Mario Kart. Driving around as Yoshi gave me a thrill when I was 9 or so (Damn, it's been that long?).

12. Super Mario Bros. Wow, perhaps the toughest matchup this round. SotN is great, but SMB arguably single-handedly revived the video game industry in the mid-80s.

N/A (I find FFVI hugely overrated in the same way most fans of VI find VII overrated, and Sonic 3 by itself is, like its counterpart S&K, unimpressive)

14. Tetris Attack. It comes closest thus far to being as OMG ADDICTIVE as its namesake, despite having nothing whatsoever to do with it.

4. Chrono Trigger. The definitive SNES RPG.

I have two questions that need to be answered in this thread.

1. Can someone elaborate to me on what Terranigma is and how it could be better than OoT (or, for that matter, how some of you haven't played OoT)?

2. Can we start another thread for the discussion of these games? I'd really like to talk about them so we can elaborate more on WHY we voted for these particular games.

2.) SSBM.
16.) FFT.
10.) Zelda: OOT.
28.) Starcraft (If this were Mario Kart 64 I'd be conflicted but I think Starcraft is just too awesome.).
12.) SMB.
6.) FF6.
14.) Tetris Attack (Incredibly addictive... I used to be great at it too. Haven't played in a while).
4.) Chrono Trigger.

=2. Super Smash Bros. Melee
DUH! Probably THE best game ever... well, maybe... Metroid Prime 1 & 2 comes to mind but well... Anyway. SSBM has a truly excellent single-player mode and probably the best multiplayer mode ever (if it would have been online... Nintendo would have probably won the console war already). Pokemon Silver/Gold is superb and all... but unfortunately for it... it is no match for the almighty SSBM.

=18. Goldeneye 007
FF Tactics is a bit overrated in my opinion... but it was still a hard choice. I choose Goldeneye since it's single-player mode quite good and is backed up by a excellent multiplayer mode... an advantage FF Tactics does not have.

=10. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
VERY tough choice. Both are OUTSTANDING games... but Ocarina of Time is just a little bit more fun... so it wins. Too bad Terranigma was compared to Ocarina of Time so early! It would have made it far...

=26. Starcraft
DUH! Best strategy game ever. The overhyped Mario Kart doesn't stand a chance. Face it. Super Mario Kart is NOT that good.

=12. Super Mario Bros.
Castlevania Symphony of the Night is mighty overrated... but mighty fun as well! On first play, Castlevania wins... but you lose interest as soon as you beat the last boss on all modes while Super Mario Bros. can be replayed over and over again. Winner: Super Mario Bros.

=6. Final Fantasy 6
Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles could have been a challenge for Final Fantasy 6... but without the "& Knuckles" part, Sonic 3 stands as a sweet but way too short game that just can't compare to FF6's greatness.

=14. Tetris Attack
One of the most intense and fun puzzle games ever VS one of the very few games on Xbox that aren't totally dull and boring. My vote goes to Tetris Attack for while KotOR 2 is a very fine game... Tetris Attack is one of my all-time favourite games.

=4. Chrono Trigger
An easy win here. No matter how good is Final Fantasy X's story, the gameplay just can't compare to Chrono Trigger... and what Chrono Trigger lacks in lenght, it makes up in details and multiple endings. How many RPGs have as much as 16 REALLY different endings?

Remember that those are my opinions and as such, while those reasons appear pretty logical to me, do not be offended if they differ from yours!
