IMHO Snowmads, koopas, goombas and shyguys are all far superior to Kremlings. And bowser far better than K.rool. I think this is partly because of the graphics and designs. The pre-rendered graphics might have seems great at the time (Though they've aged badly) But the pre-rendered characters often seemed fuzzy and less memorable than the crisp clear spirit designs of other games.

I like the old donkey kong country games, and have some nostalgia for them, but I'd have to say the new ones are better.

You could argue the originals were more innovative. The new ones only aim to innovate in terms of level design. But the old ones were never innovative games. They were a competent mash-up of pre-existing platforming ideas. But with some truly great music and graphics that did seem good at the time.
