      As far as GBA:

      I second the recommendation of Metroid Fusion. (I'm not such a fan of the Zero Mission remake.)

      Something different?

      • Kim Possible 3: Team Possible
      • Power Rangers: SPD
      • Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin King.

        If you really want something different to play you should try Mr. Pants, it's a hidden Rare puzzle game and very addictive.

          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

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

                        @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.
