I had the same thought as Roondar, when I read that comment about DKC1. It would be one of the more doable SNES games on the A1200, I am sure.

I have analyzed quite a bit of SNES graphics over the last years since I started coding on the Amiga platform, and I think you are right.
The main offenders here are the Amigas' lack of multiple playfield modes that make sense, instead of those stupid 50/50 splits, and the lack of instant availability of assets on cartridges.
But: You could really create games that come very near of what the SNES is capable of in my opinion. Especially with some clever programming.
Add/edit:
Here is a nice write up of how DKC was done, colour &playfield setup wise.

tldr: it uses a 16/16/4 colour split for it's backgrounds, along with a sprite layer in front of that.
That doesn't seem to be completely out of bound of what a A1200 is capable of to me.
