Other than Star Fox, Doom, and wolfenstein 3d, what (notable) 3-D games were released for the SNES?

Actually, Donkey kong country had very carefully drawn 2D sprites. I might be wrong, though. Super Mario RPG... I'll have to try that. Thanks.

(I think) Mario Kart Racing was 3D. I never played it so I don't know.
It depends on your definition of 3D really. Some games are really 2D but they are made to look 3D.

mario kart was mode 7 if i remember correctly, a sprite in the center (didnt actually move just turning animations)

Then I guess games like Speed Racer fall into this category? (Moving ground, centered car sprite with turning animations)

Stunt Race FX looked 3D to me...

Ballz 3D was 3D...

What about F-Zero? I never owned it, but I seem to remember it being 3d. Maybe I'm confusing it with the version for N64 or GC.

You mean 3D PLANES, right? Otherwise, none.

I was thinking of Stunt Race FX as well...

Wolf3d/Doom are more FPS than 3D. If you mean it contains some element of 3d in it, then that is different.
Mario Kart was definitely NOT 3d.

Super Punch Out! came close in that department.
Batman Forever was almost 3d (sucked though so I would try it via rom first).
DKC1-3 was CG Rendered into 3d type objects.
Killer Instinct also has that 3d feel in it (CG Rendered Graphics)
Pilot Wings was close to that field as well.
Super Mario RPG was definitely 3d.
Jurassic Park had parts where you go into a FPS mode (when you entered buildings)
Faceball was a FPS but one of the first that tried using 3d elements in a game.

That's all I can really think of right now. Try the rom first, and if you like it, purchase it (legally).

3D usually means 3D planes; so yes, Mario Kart would be 3D.

Super Mario RPG and all the Donkey Kong Countries were not rendered on the SNES hardware, thus, I think they shouldn't be considered 3D, they are just sprites.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Time to hit the ROM sites up! i've never owned a SNES, in fact all i own is a chopped up N64 that i got two months ago(my first game system). yes, i agree, that's pathetic. i'm not going into details about why i couldnt get game consoles, all i can say is it's my parent's doing. And just to clear things up, when i say 3D, i just meant a game that looked 3D, like mario kart. i'm asking b/c it's neat to see the development of "3-D" and 3-D games.

All of the SNES games that included the FX Chip (Starfox, Stunt Race, ect.) were considered 3D.
