I'm looking to get a good side scroller like the Mega Man Games (Don't own any of them for GBA but I loved the NES ones) or even the mario games.  I want it to last me for a long time (like 75+ hours).  I was thinking about Wario 4 but I don't think that will last long.  Are there any good games of that type that are not remakes of NES or SNES games because I will have already played those game (a perk of growing up in the golden age of gaming).

Damn dude, I dont know about 75+ hours but Astro Boy Omega Factor is a highly replayable side scroller. It is kinda a short game but collecting every single soul will take you a long time. Its just a really fun game.

There aren't any single player games in existence that last 75+ hours if you just stick with the story mode. MegaMan and Mario are always shorter than 10 hours. But yeah, go with Wario Land 4. It's longer than most Mario games because of it's exploring aspect.

Wario is alright, but kinda short.....but then again, no side scrollers will really last 75+ hours.

I would recommend Castlevania, or the Megaman Zero games.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Super Mario World, and Super Mario Bros. if you just want good replay value.
