Guess the Game

I played this one as a kid, I found it to be very weird (I search for the name in the thread, didn't turn up results - and I hope I stump you guys with this one!)

Wait, was that the game with the little girl who had a scarf that could grab objects - you'd control the girl with one analog stick and the scarf with the other? I remember that from a gaming show way back. Now if only i could remember the name...

Sounds legit! As I cannot remember much of it, all I knew is that is was super weird. Especially the boss fights.
 
Aha! I did some digging around and found out what it was called: Stretch Panic

You're right in it being a weird game:
One day, Linda returns from such a run to find a strange truck with an obscure logo parked in front of her house. Immediately knowing something is amiss, she runs to the door. Demons of vanity, as it turns out, have possessed her sisters, mangling their forms and distorting their souls. A similar demon (with a predilection for stretching things) has also possessed Linda's lucky scarf, turning it from a loved memento into a deadly magical weapon. Armed with this, Linda soldiers into Limbo to rescue her sisters from the demonic possession.

And this is probably why you remember the boss fights:
What may perhaps turn many off to Stretch Panic is its unorthodox structure. In essence, the game is composed of a series of boss battles, which you access by means of a classic hub space. Pitched like boss battles are supposed to be, each battle the game pumps forth always manages to outdo the one before it, from both an aesthetic and a design standpoint.

As weird as it was though, I remember it being fun as well. My analog sticks were working over time!
