Would this be better Smash Bros representation for Wario?

I like pretty much all of the cosmetic stuff here, like giving his black and white alt back, better taunts and poses, and extra songs and spirits. Some of the moves are good, like swapping the chomp for a shaky grab, giving him some more visceral throws, and the earthquake punch for down smash.
That said some of the changes feel a little overkill? The up smash uppercut has too much overlap with forward smash for me to prefer it to his headbutt, and I don't think every move needs to be a reference so the jetpack change also strikes me as somewhat unnecessary. Not sure how I feel about him still having the waft either. It is iconic... for better and for worse.
The stage idea is pretty interesting, I think a "Great Cave Offense" style of giant, explorative level would be a fun direction for a Land-inspired stage.
 
Yeah a Great Cave Offensive style Wario Land stage would be neat. What game would you rather it was based on though?
I think it's possible to pull from multiple titles. Maybe a large portion could be dedicated to Wario's castle as a central area to explore, with some smaller landmarks surrounding it such as the S.S. Tea Cup and the cave where the music box from 3 is found.
