SNES games for Casual Gamers.

[Hadrian]

Nobody said Super Mario Kart yet? Weird.

I always preferred Street Racer to that.

Using savestates turns any hardcore SNES game into a casual experience.

Anything Super Mario and Smash TV

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Bubsy maybe. My mom used to play that a lot.

 

[BORTZ]

Wait couldnt you kinda play the DKC games coop?

It was still only one person playing at a time but at least you were both playing the same game and you could swap without restarting the level IIRC.

I don't recommend anyone play that horrible piece of shit.

2D Racers are terrible.

The original Super Mario Kart is an exception to that rule. If it even is a rule. It contains all the competitive fun of any of the Mario Kart series. Hills are not integral to the gameplay.

There's a lot of different things that can fit into the "2D Racing" description

Spoiler: top down

Spoiler: angle down

Spoiler: side scroller

Spoiler: fake 3D

and what Mario Kart fits into :

Spoiler: 3D plane

which is probably the best although it's not quite to the 3D level of

Spoiler: Stunt Race FX

Which was my personal favorite as far as SNES racers but Mario Kart was in the category that was much closer to 3D than anything ELSE on the SNES besides FX chip games.

Tetris Attack, Aladdin, TMNT IV: Turtles in Time, Any Bomberman title, Sunset Riders, SMW2: Yoshi's Island, Goof Troop (hidden gem), Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie (just... trust me on this one, its pretty fun), Magical Quest: Starring Mickey Mouse (and Mickey Mania), E.V.O. Search of Eden, Animaniacs, as mentioned before Uniracers and any Kirby game (Dream Course for the ultimate casual experience), Super Back to the Future Part II, Pocky & Rocky I & II, Cool Spot (anyone remember this one?), Aero the Acro-bat,... there's just too many.

Aww man, now I want to play.

 

[Taleweaver]

Nice one, Mars_X. I was going to suggest Tetris attack and Turtles in time as well (I still play tetris attack on pretty much any emulator I can find).I've heard some good things about your other mentions as well (okay, except Power rangers but I'll believe you. Back then, movie/television tie-in games weren't the garbage they are today).

Mario Paint, if any of them have a creative side.

I think that casual won't play it.... i mean... its PAINT!

Actually, Mario Paint does have a few more features than Microsoft Paint. Too bad you can't export your images without a TV capture device.
Again, have to see if mouse emulation works or not.

No, theres a joystick mod. If he actually bothered to figure out what Mario Paint was then id post a link.

This. This is what I used to play MP on my DS anyways, if your emulator doesn't support a mouse. Not easy to draw with but it gets it to work.

Use the original non-joypad-hacked version of Mario Paint on SNEmulDS v0.5 Beta. Press L+R+Start+Up or maybe L+R+Start+Down, I forgot which one flips the screens and which one enters mouse mode. Enjoy.

See my demo at

Oh, great, so GBATemp now automatically turns links into Youtube videos and doesn't take the timestamp into account. Whatever. Skip to exactly the 9 minute mark in that video, as that's when I demonstrate the Mario Paint thing.

How about co-op beat'em ups?
Capcom has a few fun ports for the SNES; Captain Commando, The King of Dragons, Final Fight 2/3, Knights of the Round, etc.

You can't go wrong with Super Mario Kart. Only assholes hate that game.

 

[suppow]

i was amazed to see how long it took someone to mention Donkey Kong Country 1 (medium) 2 (hard) 3 (easy)

also, any chance they'd play any of the Mega Man games?

btw, sorry to hear you'll be playing SNES games on a PS2 controller. it's like masturbating with a chainsaw.

 

[DaggerV]

That actually sounds like it'd be pretty fun, like rubbing a super hard vibrating dildo in your sensitive spots ...
