Sonic in a Gears of War style shooter, with his cheery voice shouting "die ************ die!" While smoking a cigar, would be a classic in its own time
What would be the most absurd 'gritty reboot' imaginable?

OT: Team Fortress 2 and Borderlands. The humour is key. I just can't imagine a realistic heavy, or spy.
A realistic mario kart? Already made:
Pac-man:
An astronaut is constantly harangued by the ghosts of his fellow crewmates, who he murdered in a fit of psychosis- starts popping pills and other medications to make the ghosts go away until his mind snaps, the ghosts overwhelm him and he commits suicide.

They do have texture packs for that. And a gore mod.subject_87 said:
OT:Gears of War,essentially a gritty reboot on grit itself. The entire game would just be bloodcurdiling roars and a screen of exploding guts.
How about this? NiGHTS: Broken Dreams.
A gritty and deep psychological thriller which highlights the absolute twistedness of Reala in a way that'd make Heath Ledger's Joker look like Bozo the Clown, a dark and twisted discovery of NiGHTS deeply buried truma as a sexless being in a world that does not support him, and the utmost abuse two children suffered to have to create such beings.

Cooking Mama.
The "Mama" is on the loose. People are afraid to leave the house. Another body turned up on Friday, burned and half eaten.
You are Frank McGravel, a heroin addicted dirty cop. When your wife goes missing, you fear "The mama" has taken her. How far would you go to save someone you love?

Gears of War. They'd have to try to make it grittier, possibly by making the game entirely out of gravel.
Carebears and My Little Pony actually had their share of slightly grim bits...
So I'm going to have to go for Rainbow Islands. Even it's nastiest baddies are actually quite cute and cuddly, and do no more harm than making your guy so dizzy that he loses his balance and falls over. Though he does drown much like every other platform character (ie flies upwards then falls off the bottom of the screen, flailing his arms, landing... where?!)
Or to go the other way, Rainbow Brite. You could probably make a very harsh outcome for anyone who's got the "turning grey" disease, and attach a whole lot of creepiness to the method of giving them back colour and the origin of the ability, side effects, etc.
Dangermouse and Trapdoor are probably long overdue too, though they weren't entirely devoid of nastiness.
How about In The Night Garden reworked as a Tim Burton acid trip with demonic malevolence bubbling just below the surface of every otherwise simpering, cutesy, harmless resident of that mysterious forest?

Play School
There's a mother fucking bear in there. And a god damned chair as well. There are people with their fucking games, and a Hell of a lot of stories to tell. Open wide, come inside, if you dare but there's no guarantee you'll come out alive. It's Play School.

Although There Will Be Brawl made Kirby Hannibal Lecter, so maybe that's close enough for me.
