I really find "Super Mario World" to not be all that great because 90% of what went into it can also be found in Mario 3.
Flying, castles, Koopa Kids, overworld map (for the different worlds at least)...this stuff was started in 3 and carried over to World.
SMW is a fun game and i enjoy some of the touches that were added to it, but it didnt add enough to the SMB3 formula for me to consider it "light years" better than its predecessor.
Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

Voices were nothing new. Many old 8-bit computer games have voices in them. For example, Space Taxi (1984), Ghostbusters (1984), Impossible Mission (1984), Beach-Head II (1985)...
But back on topic the 16-bit games that blew me away were Super Metroid, Out of this World, Final Fantasy II/IV, Gunstar Heroes and Donkey Kong Country.

The 16-bit games that really blew me away that come to mind were:
Sonic 1: The added colors and shading gave such a 3d-ish look compared to the NES
Ecco: Simply beautiful - possibly my favorite game ever.
Beyond Oasis: I didn't have a SNES, this was really my 16bit Zelda.
Dragon's Lair and Space Ace for the Amiga 500 blew me away! Impressive graphics for a 7 megahertz 800 kilobyte floppy system developed in 1986!
I gotta say
secret of mana
chrono trigger (could never get past the forest)
EVO
ignited my love for RPGs (FF was never my thing and I'd never experienced true RPGs on the NES)
also:
super metriod- incredible depth of play
mariokart/F zero- amazing graphics
mortal kombat/streetfighter- intro of fighting genre
final fight/SOR-next gen double dragon
super star wars- finally a decent star wars game game
earthworm jim-intro of goofy platformer genre
lemmings- intro of goofy strategy game genre (pik-min's grand-dad)
I never knew there was a pilot wings for snes. I loved it on 64. simplicity... ahhhh...
Phantasy Star 2- This game was ground breaking for having sad ending, one of your main Characters died and a planet blown up. This was standard of tragedy in rpg's.
