Jesus, anon.

> Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Relatively light-paced overhead shooter filled campy B-movie humor and a wonderful soundtrack. A bit more intricate than Pocky & Rocky, which you seemed to like.

> Sunset Riders
Western-themed Metal Slug, pretty much. 

> Contra III
Scratch that, you're a faggot - it'll only scare you with the amount of stuff going on.

> Secret of Mana
Multiplayer action RPG with a combat system good enough to make grinding fun.

You need to add Mystical Ninja 2 to that list, by the way - it's quite a step up from the first SNES game.
