Question
It's a game I once played with my neighbour, I think around mid to late 90s. It's a 2D sidescroller, and each level consists of stairs and platforms, where the protagonist goes around collecting ammo and avoiding monsters.
The protagonist is a fat guy in red cap and blue shirt, and whenever he stops moving he puts his finger inside his belly button. The game has a cartoonish style.
The game is (I think) about the guy who needs to go to some kind of event in one US state, but rides his car around and visits various places (hence the levels) before finally arriving. In between states there is a "travelling mode" where the guy is shown riding his car on the road, avoiding hazards and collecting ammo.
Answer
Sounds kind of like Arcade America to me! There were driving levels in addition to platforming as well....
Joey and his pet monsters are going to a concert in Woodstock. Unfortunately, Joey has overslept, and his monsters have gone a little overboard in waking him up; their plan involved colossal amounts of dynamite. As a result, all the monsters have ended up all over the USA, and now Joey has to find them all.
Arcade America is a humorous platform game where you control the rather overweight Joey. Each level consists of a couple of smaller micro-levels and is set in an iconic location within the States, such as Alcatraz or Las Vegas, and has its own specific enemies. The goal on each level is to rescue one of the monsters.
While moving between levels, you take part in a crazy minigame where you control Joey's car as he drives towards the next area. While driving, Joey must avoid obstacles on his way, but he can also collect ammunition and shoot at the obstacles.
