What you picking?
 
Super Mario Kart - $3
LttP - $5 ($8)
Super Mario World - $5 ($13)
FFVI - $5 ($18)
Super Mario RPG - $4 ($22)
Yoshi's Island $4 ($26)
Turtles in Time $2 ($28)
Yoshi's Cookie $1 ($29)
Maximum Carnage $1 ($30)
 
I just need $5 and to trade out the two Non-First Party Nintendo RPG's for Super Castlevania IV and F-Zero and I will throw in $3 alone for Mega-Man X for a must have collection in my collection.

Never mind I wasn't clear:

Super Metroid $5
Legend of Zelda Link to the Past $5
Super Mario World $5
Street Figher II Turbo $4
Super Castelvaina IV $3
Mega Man X $3
F-Zero $2

$27 total.

I will use the $3 to make popcorn.

0 mention of Super Metroid in the comments... I'm disappointed.
I can't really make a proper list because I haven't even played half the games on the table.

I edited my first reply because the way I wrote it included it, but yes, Super Metroid is life.

I've played Stunt Race FX, game ain't worth a dime. I'd rather play paper football with a broken arm than ever have to see that sorry game again

1. Super Mario World $5
2. Zelda ALttP $5
3. Chrono Trigger $5
4. Final Fantasy VI $5
5. Yoshi's Island $4
6. Donkey Kong Country 2 $3
7. TMNT Turtles in Time $2
8. The Lion King $1
 
@teezzy you should do these for other consoles, I know more about lol.

Anyways;

Final Fantasy 6.
Super Mario RPG.
Super Mario Kart.
Turtles in Time.
The Lion King.

Only game I'd want to play today is Final Fantasy 6 though.
 
super Mario word £5
Zelda £5
street fighter 2 £4
star fox £2
F-zero £2
Mario kart £3
Donkey kong country £4
stunt race fx £1
teenage mutant ninja turtles £2
donkey Kong country 3 £2
£30 in total
 
FF VI
Super Metroid
Super Mario World
Earth Bound
SMW2 Yoshi's Island
Super Punch Out!!
Super Castlevania IV
DKC 3

Tried to get the best ratio of quality + quantity + variety that I could, but the budget was tight man! :p Fun idea!
 
As @Zefah stated, you only have $5 because the first tier is essential to any SNES library. So with the left over money, I'd grab Super Castlevania and Super Punch Out. Tough to leave classics like Earthbound, SMRPG, Yoshis Island, Street Fighter, TMNT behind. Lack of Contra 3/NBA Jam is eyebrow raising given the titles in the $1 tier.

I thought was actually pretty amazing in its day. I still remember the first time I played it on a demo station at a Target. Visually it was a turd sandwich with what felt like a weak frame rate. But it was that 'feeling' that was impressive. Was the first game I an remember that had any sense of physics.
