Meta Knight did not have a ship until Super Star, two games after his initial appearance, every boss was an anti hero in Kirby's Adventure except for Nightmare and Dedede used a weapon in the last game. Even then, did the Kirby games really change in tone because of him? Are Dream Land, Adventure and Super Star not as equally silly and whimsical? ''Maybe'' the non Sakurai games like Dream Land 2 and 3 or Mass Attack have a slight shift in tone but that would be good old fashion KnightsOfCerebus Dark Matter and Zero.

Ocarina of Time had Ganondorf rise to power and become a monster, Wind Waker explained his motivations, Vaati wasn't anything radically new for Zelda.

Heihachi and Spawn in Soul Caliber, a weapons/sword fighting game, was as odd as anything to come when they don't even fight with weapons, at least the Star Wars guys have glow sticks. Spawn's ax was basically created for the game and Heihachi taped some metal on his wrists.

Ultimate Warrior debuted in the height of cartoony gimmicks in American Professional Wrestling. He was a longer winded, less comprehensible, more invincible Hulk Hogan. He even had a "power of the audience" comeback that involved lots of shaking and a drop finisher. The face paint wasn't even that strange considering Great Kabuki and Kamala before him. I suppose you're talking about after Ultimate Warrior went insane but that was long after his debut.
