Who wins these matches in a potential "Best 90s Game Ever" Contest?

IMO:

Pokemon Snap: Don't think people who played Mario Party back when it was popular don't remember what it did to their hands.
Super Mario RPG: I think its 2015 run looked artificially impressive via bandwagoning in its last few rounds, but at the end of the day, it's simply more esteemed as a singleplayer SNES JRPG here.
Final Fantasy VI: Crushes the prestige battle, which matters a lot regardless of how the contest is framed. That's also why WW > LA is a call I'd make with total confidence now that the Celda hate has all but died off.
GoldenEye 007: I could easily see this one going either way, so I'll pick the one that (relatively) benefits from forced apathy votes and doubled votes from registered users.
Sonic: FFV definitely beats Sonic Adventure. Beyond that, both of these are total wildcards, but I'll take the one voters realistically played in the early/mid 90s.
Crash Bandicoot Warped: Characters =/= games, which benefits the stronger Crash more due to Lara's modern relevance.
Parasite Eve: This is GameFAQs, after all, and how many of us really played THPS 1+2?
Panzer Dragoon Saga: In a stomping.
Silent Hill: Could be an interesting match or another blowout if it happened, but like Madden 98, GT2 probably doesn't even make the field.
