Too my mind, the graphics of the Donkey Kong Country games have aged very badly, whilst some game with simple, crisp and colourful spirits, such as Zelda: A Link To The Past, have only improved with age. I now vastly prefer the likes of SMW's graphics over dkc's ugly and messy graphics and that's very different to how I felt back in the day. The rich and detailed graphics of The Secret of Mana used to look great next to Zelda but now the simpler Zelda graphics have proven timeless and seem to far surpass The Secrets of Mana for me.
Star fox has aged surprisingly well despite being early 3d graphics and I think this is because of the use of simple shapes and very few textures. Frame rate is a fault that holds it back though. Frame rate also utterly ruins Stunt Racer FX and makes that game seem unplayable now.
The sprites in Mario Kart are still quite charming but in most ways that game does not look remotely good enough now.
Anyway if I had to choose the best I'd probably pick Yoshi's Island.
