Bio Metal and Rendering Ranger
Oh yeah bio metal is pretty awesome but hard. I love the cheesy US OST by 2 Unlimited

I actually prefer the SFC Bio Metal without the 2 Unlimited soundtrack.

There's a GameSack episode on SNES shooters... I guess you've already seen it, but I think it fits well in this thread:

They tried to make me do a recap
I said no, no, no

Imperium is a neat little MUSHA clone on the SNES. It even sorta rips off MUSHA's stage one music theme.

You probably already know UN Squadron but I have to mention it just because it has such a wonderful atmosphere. It has that early SNES vibe similar to Pilotwings that I love so much.

Got it, at least got the SFC release of it, Area 88. :)

Ah yes it does appear that you did mention Area 88. Me bad.

To make up for that oversight I will recommend that you stay far far away from Xardion. It's one stinky shewty. shoo-we!

Ended up finding Axelay for a nice price (along with Battle Master). Will have to come out of Japan, so it will be awhile before it gets here.

Axelay.  Very cool shooter with a lot of mode 7 effects.

EDIT:  Should have read that post above mine!

There's Thunder Spirits, which I still believe is worth $5 even with the horrendous slowdown.

Spriggan Powered looks nice...and that's about it.  Still, gotta love them pretendered graphics.

Do try to get ye a copy of Super Nova/Darius Force, as the bosses are really quite unique among Darius games & it's not an expensive game.

There aren't a lot of Mode 7 effects in Axelay. I think the level 2 boss has some mode 7 (first side-scrolling stage) but that's it if I recall.

Yeah, the conveyer belt scrolling bits are often mistaken for "mode 7" but in fact it's an effect that can be produced by both the Genesis and PCE, if I'm not mistaken.  It can be seen in Sonic 3D Blast...

Pocky & Rocky 1-2 (US versions are at stupid prices)
Cotton 100% (not as good as the other cottons but decent)
BlaZeon that you mentioned is a good port of the arcade game, but it is a slow moving shooter
Uchū no Kishi: Tekkaman Blade (sort of a different side scrolling shooter with vs fighing) Probably shouldn't be in this list
Strike Gunner STG (decent with 2 players)
Caravan Shooting Collection (if you fancy nes ports on an snes)
Acrobat Mission (port of Taito's arcade game)
