Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

[Terminal Devastation]

I don't think its fair to compare the designs of DKC with Banjo Kazooie even. DKC (all three of them) had a decent excuse for having a majority of its enemies look sort of similiar... They were all the same species. And even then, each new type of kremling usually had more differentiation than say, just a new outfit or a new weapon, the body type even stance or facial structure was mixed up a bit.

And they did bother to change up the outfits of returning enemies each game. The lazier/more boring method is usually to just reuse an old one each time.
