I very much recommend Days since you mentioned you haven’t played it. As far as I know, it’s the origin of the stronger re-colors thing that you mention with the aerial Viking. I never played the HD KH2 so I didn’t know that they actually reference Days in the cavern of remembrance, that’s super cool. It’s also just very unique for a KH game, with a ton of systems that they didn’t really return to, like the grid for equipping all aspects of your character. The status effects are kinda irritating but having non-themed keyblades is pretty wacky and unique.

The Assault Rider recolor is an atrocity. It's easily one of the worst, if not the absolute worst recolor any enemy has received in any Kingdom Hearts game. Why didn't they just invert the original color scheme and make it predominantly red with golden armor, a black cloak, black tail, black hooves, and a pole arm with a black blade and a golden shaft? That would have been exponentially cooler than this pinkish purple abomination we ended up getting. Seriously, they turned the Assault Rider into the Hippie Horse.

If they had to change Trickmaster's color scheme, then why didn't they just replace the red parts with purple so that it would look a bit more like the Chessire Cat? Or why not replace the black with white so that it would look more like a heart playing card? Either one would have allowed it to keep those Wonderland vibes. Also, now that I think about it, what if instead of inverting the original color scheme of the Assault Rider, what if they made it black and white with a little grey so that it would look more like Shan-Yu?

I find most of the Heartless bosses' recoloring to be equally good with their original color scheme in my opinion. The Heartless recolor that bothers me the most is defiantly the Lunar Bandit. God that's a major downgrade. As for BbS, I find most of the recolors to be far better than the originals. In vanilla BbS most of the Unversed were blue which visually bored me in the long run while in the Final Mix there's a lot more variation which I love. EDIT: I wish they would add an update to 1.5 and 2.5 where you can change between OG colors and FM colors.

the Wight Knight of FM1 that looked clean is because you took the no-Halloween/Christmas Town version, btw Possessor should been on the boss section, and the thing about the Possessor being inside the gargoyles too is actually a misbelive very common among the fans. there is no actual source that state these are Possessor and if looked closely, their are actually different. The creatures that are released after the death of gargoyles don't have spike and mouth, and are actually the creatures summoned by Dark Thorn, Hydra and Numer 10, and they are called "Servant of Darkness" in the guide if I recall correctly. So... no official relationship between Possessor and the Gargoyle Knight/Gargoyle Warrior.
