I used to say it was a toss up between A Link to the Past, Secret of Mana, and Super Metroid, because they’re all 10/10 games. I just haven’t been able to do the latter two lately. They’re not hard, I just don’t stick with them.
If you also play A Link to the Past, you should know there is a Randomiser that combines them. You start in Super Metroid. Going into a map room takes you to a random fortune teller and vice versa. The way both games are coded, none of their items share an ID, so you can find Metroid items in Zelda and Zelda items in Metroid. And it just works. Of course Link can’t use power bombs and Samus can’t use the Hookshot. The items are game specific. The goal is to beat Ganon and then Mother Brain and escape. I really can’t do that one.
Chrono Trigger not being present in the toss-up here is nearly a crime. If you like the others that you’ve mentioned, and haven’t played that one, definitely do. I don’t know if I’d call it my favorite game ever, but it’s very easily top 10, and might be my #1 top choice for the SNES.
I don’t disagree that Chrono Trigger is the better/more well received game, I beat it once (got one ending of, what, 13?), but I don’t like turn based. I do like Chrono Trigger, but I don’t love it. Of course it’s an essential SNES title, just not my genre.
