I have an odd little NES game called "Snake Rattle N' Roll." You play the role of a little snake whose tail is split into segments. You start each level with only one tail segment, but you gain more by eating (and I'm serious about this) "Nibbley Pibbleys." After eating 20 or so of these giant edible marbles, the end of your now multi-segmented tail begins to flash. At this point, you hop on a scale, which rings and unlocks the door to the next level. Along the way up this mountain you're climbing for some reason, you fight animated mushrooms, bloodthirsty toilet seats, and bouncing metal trees, not to mention more than one literal Big Foot. It was really weird, but at the same time it was fun and challenging so I still liked it.
