I think I found it:
A callback to his N64 debut.
Yeah, that sounds more likely.

Looks like I found the song that inspired Domino's Row from Wario Land 4
Oh hey! Captain Syrup got a mention in the newest Animal Crossing update!

They found the guy who voiced the Wario electronic puppet and he does a spot on Charles Martinet impression:
That's a very nice thing to see, as it shows us that Nintendo at least still acknowledges Wario Land. I was genuinely worried that Wario Land would end up like the Virtual Boy, in the sense that they don't really want to mention it, even though such fears were somewhat ungrounded, since we have seen them mentioning the Virtual Boy in WW: Gold, and there have been lots of WL references in recent Mario Kart tracks.

So apparently the actor who voiced the Shake King (Tsuguo Mogami) also voiced the Ludwing Von Koopa rabbit from Odyssey and he's a recurring actor in the KoF franchise. (Could've swore the also voiced to sealing thwomps they sound the same as the king)
Huh, didn't know that. But it's true apparently:

(though Spewart might be more of a cross between Morton and Ludwig)
Tsuguo Mogami
Tsuguo Mogami is a Japanese voice actor represented by Kenproduction. He is the current voice actor for Shake King from Wario Land: Shake It! and Spewart, the Bubblainians, and Mollusque-Lanceur from Super Mario Odyssey.

Hey, that's kinda cool. But I miss the 'W' on his hat. At least the Star buckle is a nice addition.
In the Kirby Superstar sub-game, The Great Cave Offensive, you have to venture through a giant cave, while collecting tons of treasures on your way, Wario Land-style. Many treasures are references to other video game series, including this Mario & Wario bucket:

Apparently if look up for amiibo cards in eBay, you'd usually find reproductions just to cover the offer and demand, but this:
They bothered to make them look nice, also Lou Albano Wario and SuperBoy.

On the Chinese version of NSMB there are unused sprites inside the "Wanted" minigame:
Having a new design for Wario just to match the SMB3 Styled sprites, instead of borrowing sprites from his Wario Land series.

Damn, Bowser looks really badass here. Though the other characters are... not my kind of style.

Not only Wario World borrowed voice lines from Mario Golf 64, but also some artwork:

The main boss squad in Advance Wars 2 is eerily similar to the one in Wario Land 4

Never realised how similar the Wario World and Wario Land 4 logos are.

Hey, that's really cool. Bowser looks very intimindating in this. Sure that's gonna scare a kid or two.
But I kinda miss Donkey Kong. It's not only Donkey Kong where he's been a boss, you know. Donkey Kong '94 and the Mario vs. DK series have been realeased well after Super Mario Bros.
Also, I wish they had used Wario's Mario vs. Wario or Wario's Woods artwork, but I guess they specifically wanted artwork from his first appearance in this case.
