I can see one or two of them in that regard, I suppose it matters more on what type of villain you want to be.

A more serious villain, such as frieza (and the only one from that list I am really familiar with) would not 'justify' their actions in a sense, but characterised them through toriyama's hatred of japanese real estate agents, and one of the few well written and serious cartoonish evil I can think of. Not sure what makes me fond of him, because I can recall only a few character traits strongly. By comparison, Buu was a terrible villain, and I do not know why.

Cartoonish evil definitely feels more at home with the jokey saturday morning villains like those you listed from nintendo. They don't really have 'depth' as a villain, and all of their depth comes from being otherwise likeable recurring titular villains, getting development across the series. Bowser is a good character, but I wouldn't call him a good villain. It could just be me, but it feels more like a cop out for villains to 'Be Evil' because it lacks that human nuance that can truly make a villain relatable and more importantly comparable to real figures, that they exist for more reason than just to give the hero something to do.

You don't see so much of the former on SL.
