It makes a reference, yes.
But that doesn't make the ability any less valid.
I disagree...by your logic it's like saying Mario, Luigi, Samus, Mr. Saturn are a part of the Kirby canon just because there is a reference to them/others in Kirby Super Star...I guess Kirby has access to the full triforce huh?
The size of this doesn't matter IMO as well...a reference is still nothing more than a reference...and this reference is clearly from a set of games where we have said in this topic aren't canon...even though things like the SSE could be used IMO somewhat (God...the series should at least for background proof...it's not like the info given about the fighters in the game is a lie...there are mistakes of course...but it's not like that is a big deal...because mistakes are made with official statements all the time)
Also, Wario is only shown to shake the ground when he strikes it.
This only hurts nearby/on-screen enemies.
I'm sorry...but how big do you think this field that the characters are fighting in is anyway?
And I also think you are underestimating the power of his “shake” as well I might add:

It ****ing moves buildings/solid structures…and works on all levels of foes…from small goons…to the final boss (when he is “off guard” at least)
Yeah…it’s a “ground” based move…which Pikachu is weak to…
Wario's flying cap is slow and he only glides iirc
Wario’s Jet cap (not flying cap) isn’t his only means of flight…in fact I’m pretty sure that the only reason it “glides” is because of the game it is in…because I have three examples of Wario having perfect flight powers
Eagle Wario-Perfect flight
King Dragon Wario-Perfect flight/Fire breath
Wicked Wario-Perfect flight (I don’t know if this one is ok with how the rules of this thread go…Goodstyle calls Wario his master…but it seems to be the source of some of his powers for that game…but whatever I’m listing it anyway…even though this…unlike the Dragon…is clearly separate from Wario…it’s more of Samus and her using Phazon)
A jet’s slow to you? And I hardly consider Jet Wario slow at all in that game…god…it’s a lot faster to “glide” than it is to run through the levels when you can…
Unless Wario used tanks, submarines, cars, airplanes and the like in the Wario Land/World games, then he can't use things he never used.
-canon vehicles only
Wario has been seen using battle cars, submarines, airplanes, and several other things…two of them are shown in that video I posted for example…
Anyway…I don’t think I’ve stressed Wario’s “defense” enough so…besides the video I showed has him being crushed by a boulder 2x his size, being able to hold his ground when a foe is trying to blow him away is another thing, being buried in snow and rolling down a hill, being shot out of a cannon, ect.
I might as well bring this up…

So from Land 3…besides the fact that electricity really only just knocks him off his feet for a second…to the point where it really doesn’t seem to hurt him that much…can Pikachu get flattened into a pancake and recovery from it just fine in more than one game?
Also…the logic behind Wario being dumb is false as well…how is he dumb…how did that come about? He’s just greedy…if anything…his greed has caused him to do some crazy ****…like making an instant teleportation device…

Anyway…here are some of Wario’s talents from Master of Disguise…again…I don’t know if they are aloud though due to how he makes them his powers in the 1st place…

His drawings come to life-What would stop him from just drawing a cage around Diddy Kong/Pikachu/DK?

Has a laser gun…along with some other skills
http://www.mariowiki.com/Dragon_Wario
Heavy, breaths fire, can handle things that are “hot”…however he can’t jump high
http://www.mariowiki.com/Genius_Wario
Pretty much Samus with her special equipment to let her see “hidden” things…also has a punching glove hand ^_^
http://www.mariowiki.com/Sparky_Wario
Mastery over electricity…even though he can’t move fast…he can power up machines as well…
