G&W, ROB, Sonic, and Mega Man from your own list also have their own franchises.
Hidden characters from past games that were the only representatives of their franchise:
Captain Falcon (64/Brawl)
Ness (64)
Marth/Roy [Since both had to be unlocked] (Melee)
Snake (Brawl)
I didn't include the ones you have on your list.
But my point is, representing a franchise doesn't mean all that much for hidden/not hidden. Besides that, Wario is still in the "Mario Spin-Offs" column, designating his association as part of the larger Super Mario franchise.
