A list like this without Axelay, Contra and Cybernator is missing three of the greatest SNES games of all time.

wait I forgot Ninja Warriors, Metal Warriors, Super Turrican (and Turrican 2), Skyblazer, Rendering Ranger R2, Hagane, Actraiser, the rest of the Mega Man X series, the Bomberman series, Captain Commando.

Crap, I think we're nearing 60.

I love Metal Warriors, I just don't think it's high profile enough that Nintendo would likely include it. Cybernator would be more likely. I considered Axelay and ActRaiser but never really played those games so didn't have a strong opinion on them.

Hagane is super rare and virtually unknown in the US except as an underappreciated gem in Youtube videos.

Axelay is IMHO the single greatest shmup on the SNES by a large margin. It's a visual-audio masterpiece. It's not a tough as nails R-Type game, but more of an amazing experience. It was never deeply popular, but I recommend it as one of the top-10 SNES games whenever I'm asked.
