The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (often abbreviated to SNES) is a video game console created by Nintendo. It was far superior to the original NES and rivaled in performance to the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. It had many great-quility games, including Super Mario World, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and Super Mario All-Stars. Along with those titles came perhaps the less popular Mario Paint.
The time of the SNES is viewed by some "the golden age of gaming". It stopped being produced in 1999, but the Famicom model was made until 2003. New games were made until 2000.

The SNES was based on a Japanese console called the Super Famicom. Famicom was a portmanteau of Family and Computer. There are obvious performance and aesthetic differences between the two consoles.
