Genre: Light Gun Shooter / Rail Shooter
Players: 1–2

Description - Yoshi Safari is a Mode 7 rail shooter where Mario rides Yoshi through colorful levels while blasting enemies and bosses with the Super Scope. It is one of the stranger Mario spin-offs and leans fully into arcade shooting rather than platforming.

WWF Raw

WWF Raw
Release Date: 1994
Genre: Wrestling
Players: 1–2

Description - WWF Raw is a wrestling game focused on big personalities, exaggerated moves, and arcade-style action rather than realism. Matches are fast and chaotic, with a large roster of wrestlers and plenty of signature attacks.

Co-op Experience - Two players can team up in tag matches, working together against AI opponents.

Wordtris

Wordtris
Release Date: 1992
Genre: Puzzle / Word Game
Players: 1–2

Description - Wordtris takes the falling block formula and turns it into a word puzzle game where players build words from falling letters. It is slower and more deliberate than most puzzle games, with the challenge coming from vocabulary and quick thinking rather than reflexes alone.

Co-op Experience - Two players can play together in multiplayer modes controlling letters as they fall and try to spell words.

Operation Thunderbolt

Operation Thunderbolt
Release Date: 1994
Genre: Light Gun Shooter / Rail Shooter
Players: 1–2

Description - Operation Thunderbolt is a military-themed arcade shooter where players blast enemies, vehicles, and hostiles in fixed first-person stages. It follows the same style as other arcade light gun games of the era, with simple action and constant target shooting.

Co-op Experience - Two players can play together using light guns or controller support depending on setup. Co-op works well since the gameplay is all about covering the screen and reacting quickly to incoming enemies.

Twisted Tales of Spike McFang

Twisted Tales of Spike McFang
Release Date: 1994
Genre: Action RPG
Players: 1-2 (with cheat code)

Description - Twisted Tales of Spike McFang is a light action RPG where you play as a goofy young vampire exploring dungeons, solving simple puzzles, and fighting enemies with cartoonish charm. It has a colorful presentation and a very easygoing style compared to more serious RPGs.

Co-op Experience - The main adventure is single-player, but there is hidden multiplayer mode you can unlock. At the title screen, enter Down, B, Left, B, Up, Y, Right Y. You can then take control of another character, but it'll have no apparent effect until the 2nd boss is defeated.

Packy & Marlon

Packy & Marlon
Release Date: 1994
Genre: Platformer / Educational
Players: 1–2

Description - Packy & Marlon is an action-platformer set in a summer camp where players explore large stages to recover stolen supplies. Along the way, the game attempts to teach diabetes management through food choices, insulin use, and quiz-style interactions, though these systems feel shallow and have little real impact on gameplay. Movement is slow and clunky, and level design often drags with repetitive objectives and maze-like layouts.

Co-op Experience - Two players can play simultaneously as Packy and Marlon. The camera follows player one, which can pull the second player off-screen, making co-op feel uneven and sometimes frustrating.

The Lawnmower Man

The Lawnmower Man
Release Date: 1993
Genre: Run and Gun / Platformer
Players: 1–2

Description - The Lawnmower Man is a difficult side-scrolling run and gun based loosely on the film, with players blasting through enemies across short but challenging action stages. The game also breaks up the platforming with cyberspace-style flying bonus stages that shift the gameplay away from the standard 2D action.

Co-op Experience - Two players can play simultaneously through the main run and gun platforming stages, each choosing their own character at the start. The only catch is that the 3D flying cyberspace levels are single-player only, so players have to take turns during those sections.

Lamborghini: American Challenge

Lamborghini: American Challenge
Release Date: 1994
Genre: Racing / Vehicular Combat
Players: 1–2

Description - Lamborghini: American Challenge is an arcade-style racing game where players compete across highways and city roads while avoiding traffic and rival racers. The standard game mixes racing with betting and progression, but it also includes a lesser-known shooting mode where players can attack opponents during races.

Co-op Experience - The game has a unique two-player co-op option where one player drives using a standard controller while the second player uses the Super Scope or SNES Mouse to shoot enemy cars during the race. It is a weird but cool co-op setup that turns the game into a shared driving and shooting experience.

Faceball 2000

Faceball 2000
Release Date: 1992
Genre: First-Person Shooter / Maze Shooter
Players: 1–2

Description - Faceball 2000 is a first-person maze shooter where players move through grid-like stages blasting smiley-faced enemies and searching for exits. The game mixes simple shooting with maze navigation, and later levels add more complexity with traps, doors, and trickier layouts.

Co-op Experience - The SNES version supports two-player split-screen across every major mode. In the main Cyberzone campaign, both players work together to defeat enough enemies to unlock the exit and move on. There’s also the more maze-heavy Cyberscape mode, which adds things like locked doors, teleporters, and fake walls, making the co-op feel more exploratory and puzzle-like.

Dream TV

Dream TV
Release Date: 1994
Genre: Puzzle Platformer
Players: 1–2

Description - Dream TV is a side-scrolling puzzle platformer where players control Jimmy and Charlie after they get sucked into a strange television world. Each stage revolves around exploring themed environments, collecting hidden puzzle pieces, unlocking doors, and figuring out how to reach the exit. The game has a light puzzle-solving focus, with both characters often needing to navigate separate areas and use unique mechanics like the pocket system to progress.

Co-op Experience - Two players can play in split-screen, with each player controlling one of the two characters. Since levels often require both characters to explore different parts of the stage and work through environmental puzzles together, the co-op is built around communication and teamwork more than combat.
