Yeah, that's part of why I bought Animal Crossing, too. Now those games on the Virtual Console cost what=??? Nearly 100 bucks!
I don't own Wild World (I borrowed it from a friend and enjoyed it), but it was just not the same. I own City Folk, and it's just kind of stale.
I also forgot Wario's Woods (as you listed). Man, I thoroughly enjoy that game.
I got it through my friend's Action Replay, so I don't care.
I also got Mario Bros. and Ice Climber through a friend's E-Reader cards (boy those things were dumb). Seriously, why would you need E-Reader cards to play those sub-par games=??? The only version of the classic Mario Bros. I enjoyed was on Super Mario Bros. 3 and on the 4 Super Mario Advance games.

To compare Toad and Ridley's roles in their respective franchise is rather silly. Ridley is Samus' main enemy, rival, and the person who killed her parents. Now unless the Toads are hiding some super dark secret from Mario or go up the Mario ladder to "hands down the 5th most important character" (behind only Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser), then they are not even in the same ballpark.
