But how many people outside of the gaming/Mario community really know who Wario is, let alone care? He's a widely used character, sure, but nowhere near as iconic as Mario's other villains Bowser and Wart.
I could see him used as a secondary villain, but not as a primary antagonist.

Re: 'Little Monsters' Online Community?
I have vague memories of this movie, but nothing beyond that. I do recall that it had pretty cool makeup design for the monsters. I've done some looking around and haven't found any longlasting, devoted communities to the film, so you'd be best creating one for yourself if you are so inclined. If yo...

The lack of vegetation was a huge theme of the parallel world. Why else did Koopa want to merge the dimensions and take over? We have resources.

Problem: Monty Moles are mammals, which we know weren't very common in the parallel world. I'm not sure how it would have worked, though it should be pointed out that Parker and Terry hinted at them being used by Koopa in their fantasyesque initial pitch.
