Wow, there's so many. I'll just make a real quick rough list, so please pardon that!
Game mechanics:
Speed, Structure, DDS (From Circle of the Moon), a wider inventory, large and diverse lands to explore. Challenging extra enemies. Fighting game styled secret attacks (Alucard sword, Claymores, Shield rod, Moon rod, Shield rod and shields,etc.). Joke weapons with drop boosts (Alucart set)! Asthetics:
The backgrounds! Where would we be without the backgrounds and world to explore?
Accents:
The music. Far and by, the music. The melodies set the atmosphere. Tension, excitement, fear, joy... All are conveyed by the music.
Extra:
Character/ enemy animations. Idle animations, little things like Juste's cape, Charlotte's pose, Jonathan's hair flip, Yorik's frustration at having his skull crushed, The owl Knight's expressions. These just add personality to a character that we'd only see a limited view of.
These were always my favorite parts.

Yeah, I've said it before and I don't mean to belittle or disregard iga or anything. I do like everything he has contributed to the series alot...but Yamane is...is... I really think She makes castlevania more than anyone else. Even if Music is considered a secondary aspect. I really love her work, and she exudes a personal style and executes it perfectly that just FITS perfectly in castlevania, it can't be... not ignored, because I mean, you can't NOT see it in the front IMO. I recently had to watch some football movie that's rather old now. Features some not-quarterback dude named Michael or big mike... And despite him not having a primary position in a football team (quarterback), he was like... he made the football team. That's Yamane to me. She's not the primary person or anything, but she's just that important to Castlevania IMO.
