I usually love 'cartoony' looking games that are usually not noticeable by the public. Such as the following. Whacked was already mentioned, so I'll mention the games I love that are both obscure and cartoony.
Freaky Flyers- Its a fun racing game that takes a few pointers from Wacky Races but at the same time it has its own thing in terms of character design and gameplay(along with stories for the different racers)
Cel-Damage- I dont know if this would be considered as 'obscure' since it got an HD remake sometime this year. But I do enjoy playing this game whenever I'm at my friend's place. Its a shame that EA had to pull the plug on the sequel. Maybe they'll consider doing it since people seem to enjoy the HD remake of the game? Not holding my breathe on the matter.
Blinx- If Microsoft approved more games like this one. I wouldn't dislike them so much for their poor actions. Blinx stood out from most of the other games for the first xbox. Its creative. Fun, and a real challenge. Not to mention that you have a time traveling cat as the main character.
The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys- Even though I haven't played these two games(considering the fact that they cost a fortune online and the fact that they never saw the light of day again after they were released). The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys did something games were not willing to do at the time. Do a game completely out of claymation/stop-motion graphics. The fact that Doug tennapel managed to do that is incredible. Character designs are great, it looks like a good challenger for an adventure game, and both games have great soundtracks. While the sequel is a platformer, its a good game too. According to Doug, he stated that EA is currently holding the rights to the neverhood(and its sequel). So I'm hoping that Armikrog does well enough so EA could approach Doug to do a new Neverhood game in the veins of the first one.
