If you like Nintendo fan games, you'll probably know of Mushroom Kingdom Fusion. It's an insanely awesome, over the top crossover between pretty much every gaming franchise on the planet, with Mario, Link, Sonic, Wario, Arthur and others all fighting through worlds from across the gaming universe. Here's a cool trailer of it:
But what else did it have? Perhaps the best portrayal of Wario in any non Wario specific fan game ever:
Behold, Wario in action. Wario vs Gears of War:
And Wario in a military war zone:
But do you know what's even better? He has a whole TON of great Wario references in his moveset and setup.
For one thing, his music is from Super Mario Land 2 and Wario Land 2 respectively. His Star Man theme is his boss battle song from Six Golden Coins:
And his win level song (as far as I can remember) is from Wario Land 2:
Other cool things include Rice Beach, a nice Wario Land themed level:

They've got so much cool stuff in this level. Wario Land 1's tilesets are included. Awesome remixes of the Rice Beach, cave and boss songs are included. And enemies... wow. They've got Pirate Gooms, Wandering Gooms, Droppers, crabs, those chickens you can feed enemies too, the slimes, the duck head ghosts, the pirates throwing swords, Penkoons, those jellyfish things that float up at you...
and hey, got to love the boss, cause it's the spiked koopa from Wario Land 1! Who even explodes dramatically when defeated!
Oh, and they coded all the other enemies too. Didn't use 'em, but hey, they look cool:

Finally, Wario also has some cool power ups, with the Jet Hat and Dragon Hat being obtainable powerups that work like in Wario Land 1, and Vampire Wario acting as his Tanooki Suit equivalent. So yeah, he's been represented pretty well in the game in my opinion, and his representation here is exactly how he should have been in Smash Bros and its single player modes.
