I played it many many years ago. I can't recall much about it. All I remember is that the character can use some "grabling hook" to move around. So it sounds like Bionic Commando but isn't it. EDIT: IIRC, the hook should look like that below: 
               /=
-----chain?----|=
               \=
In the beginning of one stage whose background looks like sci-fi buildings, you can fall off the platform to commit sucide. EDIT 2: This game is none of the following games: * Batman Returns * Bionic Commando * Castlevania 1, 2, 3 * Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom * Megaman 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 * Rockin' Kats * Rygar * Spider-Man - Return of the Sinister Six Sorry no more details can be recalled. EDIT 3: Some more info: Bionic Commando and Rygar kind of resemble that game, but they don't match. EDIT 4: I now believe it was a hacked version of Bionic Commodo, which is irony. Since I can accept such a result at easy, this case is now closed. Thank you everyone!
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days <adelikat> no doubt <adelikat> klmz, they still do

Are you talking about Rockin' Kats, perhaps?

Surely not. The graphic style of that game wasn't cartoon.

Then take a look at Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Spider-Man - Return of the Sinister Six.

The grabling hook reminds me of Metroid XD. Otherwise, what games for the NES have some kind of hook.
See Youtube page (GIRfanaticTAS) for all runs and stuff.

Not Metroid for one. Super Metroid, yes, but not the original.

Besides what's been listed, Konami's Batman Returns comes to mind. Dunno if that's what klmz is looking for or not though.

None of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Spider-Man - Return of the Sinister Six, Rygar or Batman Returns is a match. Strangely, Rygar somehow appears more close to it than Bionic Commando.
