Hi I came with this important wall of text because this thread is becoming too silly.
Now mind you I don't think you're that bad but you're giving me a really bad first impression right now. Just a pro-tip, if you're willing to even improve this don't ignore what everyone say or come up with excuses to defend you're work. take people's suggestions into consideration, and at least make some effort to improve.

But since I had to shade as well, it took me a good few hours. Also, no offense to the person who made that sprite sheet, but that Wario is pretty ugly. I never came here saying "OMG NEW WARIO SPRITE SHEET." I just said it's a re-color (although I should've said re-shade), so I don't get why you're trying to make it something that it isn't. You don't start bashing an amateur artist for trying some painting for a minor commission and asking for advice -- only to follow up with "Lol go try painting Renaissance. Stop wasting your time."
Reshading is still pretty simplistic if you ask me. You can do that in roughly the same amount of time compared to recoloring a sprite.
"Hillariously, none of them match"? Hillariously, you probably need to get your eyes checked. I did mention that my goal was to use classic sprites to fit in with fan games using SMB3 sprites. So of the possible choices, it's not hard to see that the Wario Land 2/3 sprites match the best since they actually have the same perspective and similar levels of detail.
Hilariously, this comeback is just plain stupid. Not to come up as a dick here but really, you need to look at the differences between each sprite more closely. Because none of these sprites are even remotely close to being SMAS style.
while I am at it, Same perspective and detail =/= same style, you could take a sprite from ninja gaiden and put it in super mario brothers and you can tell the styles clash and it will still have the same perspective.
Finally, regarding "And I don't see how someone telling you that re-shades aren't worth the topic = an angsty 15-year old drunk with internet anonymity. Really?" Really? You TOTALLY missed the point. He could've been and probably is completely right about it not being worth the topic here. My point was that he was completely tactless about it. You don't bash someone new to the place and start criticizing their motivations and all... starting with the very first line "sorry to break your bubble, but this is pretty much nothing." Yours wasn't much better either. Chris' post was much better and polite, while essentially saying the same message as CO2 and adding some advice.
Tactless is being a bit brash. Even if it's harsh it doesn't mean he's bashing you. And if you are going to sit here and argue every criticism here then leave, this is a board to improve your sprites not show case them, and you won't make much friends here if you're expecting to be babied. There's no excuses here.
