I know, I know... Beat em up's?!?!?! I get alot of crap from my friends because I like this monotonous genre so much. But I was wondering, what's your favorite snes beat-em-up? Not only that, but could you guys throw out some names of other B-em-Up's for the super that are worth mentioning? I'm looking for new ones to play and collect all the time. Thnx
oh and p.s. Turtles in Time is my favorite.

Wow... there are alot. Let see;
You already mentioned TMNT4
I'll add:
Aliens vs Predator (arcade was much better but you could do much worse)Battletoads/Double Dragon
Batman Returns (good music and gameplay)
Captain Commando (Ninja Commando FTW!)
Captain America & The Avengers (nice arcade port)
Combatribes (I love it... YMMV)
Double Dragon 5 (I ddn't like it much)
Final Fight 1/Guy,2 and 3 (among the upper crust of beat em ups)
King of Dragons
Knights of the Round (I wish Merlin was playable)
Super Double Dragon (same as 5 above)
If you ever get the chance (or already have) a Genesis go get at Streats of Rage 1,2 and 3 (personal favorites) and Splatterhouse 3. The Double Dragon on the Genny is great also just HTF and pricey... It had a Accolade cardboard box so it's a bit tricky to find complete (compared to the other clamshell Genny games). I prefer TMNT on Genny over the SNES to be honest... I know, BLASPHEMY! ;)

Good list.
To the first poster: Sonic Blast Man 1/2 and Rival Turf are a few more, if you have to own every single beat-em up on the Super NES. People always say Rival Turf sucks, because it is generic but someone who likes Final Fight 2 and 3 (as I do) can't really dog Rival Turf too much.

TMNT IV is great, though I suck at it.
Also, Bloodreign and I had fun with some Japanese-only Sailor Moon brawler, and we got surprisingly far (mostly on account of BR, I think). Surprisingly wasn't annoying as heck, and the graphics were a nice change of pace from a Double Dragon type game.

Turtles in Time was my favorite (of course).
I also liked the three Final Fight games, Batman Returns, Death and Return of Superman, Knights of the Round, and Battletoads/Double Dragon.

Ninja Warriors is another good, although somewhat rare SNES beat 'em up.
