Any SNES/GBA suggestions??

For the SNES:

If you like run and gun style action, try Contra 3.

I'm not into the typical shmups too much, but Gradius 3 was a lot of fun for me. Horizontal shoot em up with weapon upgrade options using a sort of menu on screen.

I concur with a lot of this: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26971/re-set-100-snes-games-for-your-retropie?_=1596111667312

For GBA, Aria of Sorrow or Zero Mission

The Fireman on SNES is a pretty neat game and rather different. It only saw release in Japan and Europe.

I'm always a fan of the Wizardry series and Wizardry I-II-III - Story of Llylgamyn (J) is a good time snes if you like that sort of game . after English patch if you don't speak Japanese it's definitely worth playing can follow it up with wisadry V also SNES with English patches available

On GBA:

Aria of Sorrow
Ninja Cop (aka Ninja Five-O, depending on region)
Drill Dozer
Gunstar Future Heroes (aka Gunstar Super Heroes, depending on region)
Klonoa 1 & 2
Kirby and the Amazing Mirror
Golden Sun 1 & 2
Rock n' Roll Racing (also available and awesome on SNES)
Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2 (also available and awesome on SNES)
Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga

I really dug the GBA puzzle game Mario vs. Donkey Kong (2004).

for snes i reccomend the following games all ARPG's

Soul Blazer
Illusion of Gaia/Time
Terranigma

terranigma's one of those overlooked games for a majority of people as it only got a jap and pal release us folks missed out back in the day one of the few times us pal folks didnt miss out

@AdamBeGood I couldn't agree more. :p
From this list, I'll recommend "something different to Mario and Zelda games" and some less known titles:

Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Demon's Crest
Magical Pop'n (but you need an English patch)
Super Turrican 2
Sutte Hakkun (again, English patch)

If you are interested in Romhacks and Mods, there are ton of good stuff too.

Another vote for Metroid - specifically Super Metroid for the SNES, which I finally tried recently after 25 years of it apparently having been missing from my life... one of the Warioland games for GBA is pretty good too (possibly 4?)
I did find Barbie Horse Adventures for the GBA quite frustrating though, probably best avoided. Damn horse wouldn't do anything it was told to.

@TedMaul About Wario Land, I played 1 and 2 and the second game is brilliant and by far better. Its a really good top notch Nintendo quality game, which should say a lot (Quality of Seal 👌🏻). Can't say much about the other parts, as I didn't play them. From my brief experience the third one seems to be good too.
