I always liked the Bubsy the cat platformer games, but I later learned that they are considered to be bad. I thought they were pretty awesome with some really wacky, but neat level designs. The games had a huge verticality to them (even more than Sonic 2's Casino or Chemical Plant zones). There's like one level, where the top was water slides, the mid top was floating islands, the middle was a Disneyland's Main Street-looking town full of malevolent parking meters and gumball machines, and then the underground was a bunch of leaky pipes to navigate. And that was all in one level! The gigantic roller coaster stage was neat too, you could start running so fast down a slope you'd crater into a wall--which I guess was a cheap death, but it was part of its charm for me back then.
Note: I may be remembering this horribly wrong, but I do know I like them. I'm also talking about the 2D ones. The 3D Bubsy on Playstation was like playing a particularly bad student project.
