Sounds like you need to clean your cartridge and/or system. Don't need anything special, just wrap a wet cloth around the end of something like a butter-knife, and rub the flat of the blade(with the cloth around it a few times) against the game. Dry it before playing. That'll help a lot, but if the system itself is dirty, you'll need something to clean it with - just search the net for a SNES cleaning cartridge, if you can order things online. If you can't, good luck trying to come up with a way to clean it yourself.

Yeah, what they said. From my experience with SNES hardware, I'd assume one or more of teh addressing pins in the connector is dirty or damaged, i.e. if it's trying to read memory address B, it's really getting A thus the bad gameplay.
