===''Super Nintendo Entertainment System''===
Perhaps the series Intelligent Systems is most specifically well-known for is [[Paper Mario]]. Paper Mario was a sort-of sequel to [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Super Mario RPG]]. It is mostly stand alone from its predecessor - it takes the RPG gameplay, but it doesn't do much with Mario RPG's plot. In Paper Mario, Mario is in a story book, which is being told to people as he goes on his quest. Mario gains allies along the way, such as [[Goombario]], [[Kooper]] and [[Bombette]]. All of them were based on the classic Mario villains, [[Goomba]], [[Koopa Troopa]] and [[Bob-omb]]. This game expanded upon the idea of the fact that the enemies were somewhat intelligent, and some were also good, such as the Goomba family and the Koopa Village. One new villain was Kammy Koopa, a Magikoopa that assisted [[King Bowser|Bowser (Nintendo)]] in his plan to steal the magical Star Rod and defeat Mario once and for all. Mario had to collect seven Stars to defeat him. This game's sales were relatively low, on account of the fact that the [[Nintendo 64]] was close to death.


*''[[Super Famicom Wars]]'' (Japan Only) - The sequel to the ''Japan only'' turn-based strategy game.
They made a sequel, released as the fourth Mario RPG in the series, the third being [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]. It was similar to the original Paper Mario, but the difference here is that it utilized the paper gimmick more - in this game, you could gain four powers - being able to turn into a paper plane, being able to turn sideways, being able to roll up and roll around, and being able to turn into a paper boat. This game took a departure from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]; instead, the main area is Rogueport, a seedy town. This game sold much better compared to [[Paper Mario]].
*''[[Super Metroid]]'' - The third, and arguably most popular, entry in the [[Metroid series]].
*''[[Panel de Pon]]'' (Japan Only) - A puzzle game starring a young girl named Lip. It was released in the United States under the name ''Tetris Attack'', and rereleased in the ''Japan only'' ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]''.
*''Tetris Attack'' - The American adaptation of Panel de Pon, using characters from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. Starred Yoshi and Little Yoshi in various quests against Bowser and his minions in order to save their friends, doing puzzle fights between them and the enemies.
*''[[Battle Clash]]'' - Known as ''Space Bazooka'' in Japan. It uses the [[Super Scope]] accessory.
*''[[Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo]]'' (Japan only) - Contains a remake of and sequel to the original Fire Emblem game.
*''[[Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu]]'' (Japan only) - Touted as the most successful entry in the Fire Emblem series in Japan, it spans two generations of characters, starring Sigurd in the first half and Celice in the second half. Widely played through [[console_emulator|emulation]] outside Japan, hence an [[import classic]], since the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.
*''[[Fire Emblem: Thracia 776]]'' (Japan only) - The very last game ever released for the Super Famicom/SNES. It takes place between chapters 5 and 6 of ''Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu''.
*''[[Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge]]'' - Battle Clash's sequel, it improves on its precedessor's gameplay and presentation.
===''Nintendo 64''===


*''[[Paper Mario]]'' - The quasi-sequel to [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]], featuring a new Paper style of visuals, and new style of gameplay.
==WarioWare==
*''[[Pokémon Puzzle League]]''
*''64 Wars'' (Cancelled) - The Nintendo 64 sequel to ''Game Boy Wars''. Not much is known about it, and never was released.
*''Fire Emblem 64'' (Cancelled) - The Nintendo 64 installment in the [[Fire Emblem series]]. No screenshots were released, and it was cancelled.
*''Metroid 64'' (Cancelled) - The Nintendo 64 installment in the Metroid series. No screenshots were released, and it was cancelled.


===''GameCube''===
[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$]] was the first game in the long series of Wario spinoffs, starting on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. Like [[Mario Party]], this game features minigames, but under a different name - Microgames. Microgames last around seven seconds, and have you doing a variety of things, ranging from cutting someone's hair, to frying eggs, or to defeating Mother Brain. The game was remade for the [[GameCube]] as [[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$]], with extra minigames and multiplayer.


*''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' - The sequel to ''Paper Mario''.
Later, In [[Japan]], a sequel was released - [[WarioWare: Twisted!]]. The game was suited with a tilt sensor, like [[Yoshi Topsy Turvy]] and [[Kirby's Tilt 'n' Tumble]], where you had to finish most minigames by turning the game a certain way to beat it. In some, you have to move it back and forth to shave away at a beard, and in others, you have to turn it so that the airplane can make it through the small gap.
*''[[Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance]]'' - A new game in the [[Fire Emblem series]].
*''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$]]''


===''Nintendo Revolution''===
The third, and latest WarioWare game is [[WarioWare: Touched!]]. This game came out before Twisted! in the USA, but in Japan, Twisted! was out a long time before Touched!. In this game, you had to utilize the touch screen and the microphone in order to beat the Microgame.
