Hyperzone was one of my all time favorite games from back in the snes days. What makes this game shine is the simple gameplay, the music and the all around fun. There are many mode 7 games, such as mario kart and f-zero to name a few but HyperZone was simply a blast to play.

All credit goes to hardcoregaming101.net this is just a paragraph from their post regarding Hyperzone and mode 7 game.
The early releases of the SNES were aimed at proving the system’s technical capabilities. With a bright array of new colors and high-quality sound capabilities that were far above the capabilities of the NES, the SNES also has an interesting graphical standard known as Mode 7. This allowed for background layers in games to be rotated and scaled, often used to spin around terrains and characters for more impressive animation, as well as enable sprites to grow and shrink so as to create a sort of pseudo-3D effect. Mode 7 was seen as a technical marvel for the time it was released, particularly for games like F-Zero and Pilotwings which were specifically built around its function of background manipulation. Not too many other games used Mode 7 as liberally as those two, but one of the few less known is an obscure little futuristic shooter made by none other than HAL Laboratory, the long-standing second-party Nintendo developer best known for the legendary Kirby series and the Eggerland / Lolo puzzle series before that. This relatively unknown entry in their catalogue is HyperZone, a game which was the absolute definition of Mode 7 despite not being the program’s most heavily advertised example.
