    There are a lot, but it's late and I'm not an expert on SNES games. One that can think of off the top of my head is Ninja Warriors. I think it's a pretty decent side scrolling beat em' up that was mostly overlooked.

    Yeah, I remember that one. Pretty good for its time.

    Yeah there's a good list of them, problem is some of them that are tradtionally underrated and uncared about are the shit people want now they're driving into the $50-300 range for the damn cart alone unfortunately. You got things like EVO, Hagane, Wild Guns, Metal Warriors, Ninja Warriors, Mega Man 7, Earthbound(fanboy pool aside many aren't aware of it), Captain Commando, Final Fight 3, King of Dragons, Pocky & Rocky, Demons Crest, and others.

    Some really nice underrated gems still fall in the cheaper category thankfully with stuff like UN Squadron, Final Fight 2, Sunset Riders, Ys3, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Super Star, Rock n Roll Racing, (either) Lost Vikings, Blackthorne, Indiana Jones, Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse, Act Raiser, etc. There's plenty, just hit up snesguide.com and watch some videos.

    I'm addicted to Mario No Super Picross. Japanese but totally playable.

    Michael Jordan - Chaos in the Windy City

    Don't be fooled into thinking this is some kind of trash game by the title. It is a platformer like no other. Highly recommended.

    There're tons of underrated SNES games, and even more obscure SFC gems!

    Here're a few I quite like:

    Twisted Tales Of Spike McFang
    Demon's Crest
    Power Instinct
    Goof Troop
    Hagane
    Smartball
    Imperium

    But there are a lot moooore. Feel free to look at my review page, I have nearly 200 games listed/reviewed there...

    I hope this helps

    I don't know how popular of an opinion it is, but I quite like the Spawn game. The presence of fighting game-like special moves makes for some interesting puzzles, and it has great music and pixel art.

    Uniracers was an awesome game, one of my all time favorites on the snes and very underrated.
