I ask, as I watch a friend play through cartoony action platformer/technical fighting game Little Ralph which is perhaps the third one of these I've seen recently
one of my favourite attempts at something like this is Ninja Golf, a golf game in which between shots you have to walk to the ball manually while under attack by ninjas
They ought to make a game that is like... a tactical turn based rpg where you are working at a restaurant. I'd make it myself but I have no passion for the project I just think it would be a good idea.
The most unhinged attempt I can think of is the PC Engine game Daichi-kun Crisis: Do Natural, which is a proto rts/proto farming sim with beat-em-up bosses. It might be more interesting than it is good, but it's not bad.
Against The Storm being a Roguelike City Builder, and Sealed Ampoule being a Dungeon Crawler Resource Cultivator are up there.
What comes to mind for me with games that Ive played is Atomicrops for a single blend which is farmer sim and top down shooter. Evoland 2 kind of just throws a kitchen sink of genres together, and its well established now but Undertale/Deltarune being narrative rpg and bullet hell I feel is pretty up there on the this shouldnt work list.
I think even if it's not the winner, Knights in the Nightmare's combo of tactical RPG and bullet-hell dodging is definitely up there.
my favorite part of that ninja golf game was the ending song, absolutely wild
i feel like a lot of the more unhinged genre mashup examples i can think of are like, often actually really good games that work pretty well so it doesn't feel that unhinged. (the one that usually comes to mind for me is like, classic roguelike + rhythm game but crypt of the necrodancer just. works really well so it doesn't seem that weird.)
