Co-op SNES/Genesis games

Hello everyone,
My girlfriend has discovered the joy of my old SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis and the wonder that is 2D games. She doesn't like 3D games as she can't control the camera very well (which, by the way, I think many many people have a problem with).
We just went through Streets of Rage 2, and she loved it. I enjoy playing games with her rather than have her sit out or go and do something else in a passive-agressive sulk.
So, what other co-op 2 player games should I go and trawl eBay for? My copy of Toejam and Earl is getting some good use, but it a little tough. I was thinking of taking a look for one of the Golden Axe games. Does anyone have any other ideas?

VC people won't shutup about Toejam and Earl too.
Or Super Probotector as it got called here in the EU, since two humans killing stuff was too violent for some reason.

Only for Germany.
(probably)
A fair number of racing games might work, mario kart being the chief among them. For sidescrollers I would almost say the Donkey Kong series for the snes, but I remember the problem being that you still have to swap whos in control at the moment.
Turtles in Time.
Lewis, I bet your girl would dig Secret of Mana too, if you can find a copy.
It has a bit of a learning curve on it though. If you like western games with over-the-top voice acting and racial stereo-types this is the game for you.

Make sure you get the SNES version though, as it has more characters AND more levels.
Add another vote for Secret of Mana and Mario Kart.
Go to the menu.. config.. and you can split the party among 2 players... I had alot of fun playing like this when I was young. My brother controled 2 characters... I demanded Gau and whomever else he deemed fit. I love Gau very much...

Best 2D games ever produced - Coop mode is actually blended well into the game, too.
I also quite enjoyed Golden Axe, Super Double Dragon (or Double Dragon 4) and Turtles in Time. Contra rocks, so Contra III wouldn't be a bad choice, though I haven't played it.
And yes to Final Fantasy 'III' (6). It IS turn-based, but you can split off party members between two of you. I had a blast with coop back in the day.
Add one more vote for the already listed streets of rage 2, toejam and earl, and turtles in time.
It's a coop RPG where all the battles (with some exceptions) are sidescrolling beat 'em ups. More info here.

Turtles in Time
Genesis
Chiki-Chiki Boys
Golden Axe 1 - 3
Sunset Riders
Turtles: Hyperstone Heist

I liked Sunset Riders better on SNES.
At first, I read that as 'cho aniki'.
I literally screamed "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO".

Oh the betrayals.
How's it work?
Edit: Also it doesn't seem to have Gunstar Heroes.
Fuck if I'll be bothered to fix it, though.
I am particuarly looking forward to Sunset Riders
Ah, I didn't even think of the SNES there, I only played the MegaDrive version. I'd assume the SNES version looks better.
Wikipedia has this to say:
Already mentioned as it's SNES version name of Soliders of Fortune.

this answer is correct.
all other answers are slightly/extremely less correct.
