Whenever I play a game it seems like the start button is constantly being pushed, so during game play the game just pauses over and over again, also the D pad only goes (right) no matter what direction you press. Tried two different controllers. had the same exact problem. Tried different games too. Same problem.

If you're playing on an original console, it is unfortunately not surprising that these things are happening. The SNES is quite an old system by now, and the internal components that it was made with were not really built to withstand 20+ years of wear-and-tear. There are people that will rebuild and repair consoles for you, but it is often more cost-efficient to buy a new system. I have seen an original SNES at many used game stores, some even for $20. As much as it sucks, those things just weren't built to last forever, and being that you tried multiple controllers and multiple games, the only conclusion I can draw is that some internal component is no longer working.
