Best I've played is Super Mario Kart, if you can consider that a racing game.

Again, if we are not talking serious racers here then the game I spent the most time with had to have been:

Rock'n'Roll Racing



A great graphical style and awesome licensed soundtrack, fun characters (including a Lost Vikings cameo) and gameplay and a good challenge with plenty to unlock in the way of vehicle customization and upgrades.

It's also available as a GBA port which I hope to pick up someday. Sadly the licensed music might prove too costly to negotiate for a deserved VC release.

Speaking of Street Racer I wonder if Nintendo will finally ease up and allow it now that they've managed to emulate SMK as there were sources at the time who claimed they refused permission for the game to come to VC.

My favourite SNES racers:

1. Stunt Race FX
2. Super Mario Kart
3. F-Zero
4. Unirally
5. Rock & Roll Racing
6. Biker Mice From Mars
7. Micro Machines

Super Mario Kart was great fun, but Stunt Race FX was so stunning and innovative that I couldn't stop playing it back in the day.

My vote for Top Gear (aka Top Racer)

In my opinion, one of the best racing games of all times.

I've been playing F-zero tonight. Some people feel it hasn't aged well but I still find quite entertaining as a more "serious" racer than SMK and more rewarding of skill unlike the spamming ******* that every super mario kart game is.

The only racing games I've played was F-Zero and Super Mario Kart. Though I thought both games were decent, I prefer Super Mario Kart more.

Battle Cars is one of my favorites on the SNES (besides the obvious games anyways). It's well worth a purchase if you see it cheap.
