Maybe Captain N?

One of the villains was Mother Brain, from Metroid, who is best described as a stretched-out fleshy blob in a jar. The hero, Captain N, was accompanied by a variety of Nintendo characters, one of which was Kid Icarus, a winged archer like Cupid.

That is absolutely it. I can sleep tonight. Thank you.

Wait. No. Maybe not. I just watched a bit of it on Youtube and although the entire premise of the show seems to be exactly what I'm talking about the characters and animation style don't even slightly resemble what I remember of the show. My most vivid memory of it is the fleshy villain and that's not the face I'm looking for. Also it seems like just about the last thing my brother would ever have watched. Was there some other version of the same show?

I'm not aware of any other versions of the show. I thought I had this one solved for you. Sorry!

This is even less likely than Captain N, since it's more 80's than 90's. (Oh boy is it ever 80's... it's more 80's than the 80's were... wow...)

Kidd Video has a bunch of teens that go on adventures, accompanied by a flying character. In this case, it's a pixie in a leotard and leg warmers. Another mark against it is that I don't recall there being a stretched-out fleshy blob anywhere in it.
