Mickey had white gloves because in black and white cartoons you needed contrast between Mickeys body and his hands for them to be easily visible. Dunno why they're a staple in vidya mascots.

Sticks is feral, so if it is a social taboo to be gloveless she has an in canon reason to not wear them

Cuphead is intentionally a throwback to old cartoons so I don't think you can really call him "recent" aesthetically.

>Game has cartoonish characters with sometimes exaggerated proportions or unrealistic designs
>They use a staple design of cartoon characters from the advent of cartoons to reinforce the cartoonish factor
It also just works because gloves can be more visually appealing than hands, but that only really works with characters that are cartoonish to begin with.

Combat attire, even if it doesn't look like it.
The reason why most of the cast wears them.
