It definitely wasn't Gradius, and I can't find anything on Sector Z. 

Lemme recap all the stuff I remember. 

Little yellow spaceship

Was on SNES

You fought aliens

It was a sidescroller

I think that's it...man, that sounds like so many games. D:

Since we're talking about old nintendo shit, anybody remember this side scrolling game. You were in a little yellow jet and you just had to shoot shit and avoid obstacles.  I forget the name but I used to play it all the time and I must find it again!

Sounds like "1942" to me

I googled it to make sure I got the year right.  Because I can never remember for sure.

No, the one I am thinking of took place in space.

Thanks anyway!

That description could definitely describe a ton of old school games, but the first one I thought of was Zaxxon.

Yeah, I totally missed the SNES part before.  That alone should have told me it wasn't 1942, that game came way before SNES.

Not that one either! 

Thanks though. Man, I don't think I'll ever find this game.

Phalanx?  Not a yellow ship, though.

R-Type?  Again, not yellow, but shooting big aliens.

If it's not R-Type was it Gradius? That's another space shooter that was popular.
