About the final boss: I understand why they changed it. The dude was holding a damn lightsaber and looked like a knockoff Star Wars action figure. Do you want Disney to go after them? At least the new version fits in a bit more with the game and the projectile attack makes more sense with a wand. Also, I seem to recall the remake was intended to allow you to switch between old and new graphics, and that legal issue alone may have been the reason they nixed it.
I'm almost surprised they kept the Spiny lookalikes.

Togezo from a handful of early Kirby games, which I found out recently is supposed to be a Kirbyfied cameo of Spiny from the Mario series. Seriously, it straight-up rolls into a Spiny Egg in Kirby's Adventure. In Kirby's Dream Land 3, I guess they tried to lessen the connection by making it act more like the "Spikey" enemy from Kirby's Dream Land 2, and by Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land they wanted to use an original design instead of Mario inspiration so they replaced it with a boring striped worm thing that does the same thing (still not sure why some other enemies were replaced in remakes but at least I have closure knowing the rationale for this one).
