“Hey! You might be getting better, but nobody cheats better than Waluigi! You got that?!”
Waluigi, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour

Waluigi is Luigi's evil counterpart and nemesis, as well as Wario's partner and brother. Deliberately created to be a selectable character in various multiplayer games, Waluigi made his debut in Mario Tennis and has been playable in several games to date, although none of them can be classified as mainstream adventures in the Mario series. He has been voiced by Charles Martinet ever since his first appearance.

History

Background

File:WaluigiTennis64.gif
Waluigi debuted in Mario Tennis.

The details of Waluigi's past are unclear, as he is an extremely undeveloped character with no confirmed back story. Waluigi simply appeared in the Mario series as an apparently long-time resident with no explanation regarding his background. Waluigi has evidently been antagonizing the Mario Bros., especially Luigi, for quite some time before his debut, as it was clear from the opening movie intro in Mario Tennis that he and Luigi have been at odds before. Most of Waluigi's history is in the opening movies of Mario sports titles, which usually shows Wario and Waluigi's schemes.

Waluigi is the same age as Luigi[1] and is also his archnemesis for unknown reasons. Waluigi has been rumored to be Wario's brother due to their similar appearance, but conflicting sources both support and reject this notion.[2][3] Like Wario, Waluigi also runs a company, but he runs a motor oil company.[4] Waluigi can be contacted via the following address: Waluigi, 26 Grimace Lane, Mushroom Kingdom, IMG EEK.[5] The last part is a pun of "I'm geek."

Waluigi also seems to have connections with the Wrecking Crew games.

  • Waluigi and Foreman Spike both have similar noses, and their devious grin look similar.
  • In Mario Superstar Baseball, Waluigi's Liar Ball move revolved around his favorite food, the eggplant. In, Wrecking Crew, Eggplant Men were enemies.
  • The Gold Mantis, one of Waluigi's karts in Mario Kart DS, was a construction crane.
  • Waluigi's song in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix was a remix of the bonus game music for Wrecking Crew.

Mario Tennis series

File:MPTWaluigi.PNG
Waluigi's lanky limbs make his tennis reach a great advantage.

Waluigi made his debut in Mario Tennis, and later appeared in Mario Power Tennis for the Nintendo GameCube, and Mario Power Tennis for the Game Boy Advance. Mario Power Tennis for the GameCube was the first to feature Waluigi's unique ability to swim through the air, a move that has recurred in other games. Additionally, the title established that his rivalry with the Mario Bros. was violent. Waluigi is playable in the Game Boy Advance version while Wario is not. This is the only time that Waluigi has been in a game and Wario has not.

Mario Tennis

In the opening of Mario Tennis, several characters play in a tennis tournament. Wario and Waluigi lurk in the sidelines of the tournament, grumpy that they were not invited. The two interrupt the final match between Mario and Luigi, and Waluigi states that they want to play. Luigi declines and mocks Waluigi, throwing him into a temper tantrum. Waluigi and Luigi prepare for a conflict and they walk up to each other. Mario tries to stop them, but Wario gets in his way. Suddenly, Bowser falls from the sky, knocking Wario and Waluigi to the ground. Everyone prepares for conflict, but Bowser innocently reveals he just wants to play tennis, shocking everyone. Mario decides to allow Bowser, Wario, and Waluigi play, and everyone cheers. However, the celebration is cut short when a Bob-omb explodes in the stadium, harming everyone.

Mario Power Tennis

File:Triumvate.jpg
The wicked triumvirate.

In the intro movie in Mario Power Tennis, Wario and Waluigi are facing the Mario Bros. in the first round of a tennis tournament. They are easily defeated, and vandalize the brothers' pictures in the tournament poster for revenge. They are found and chased by a group of robotic cops for vandalism. On the run from the police, Wario and Waluigi stumbled across Bowser's workout room, where the three formed an alliance to prove their superiority to Mario and Luigi. Bowser forces the two to undergo extreme training, where they improve their tennis skills greatly while the tournament continues.

The duo hijacks the final match of the tournament: the Mario Bros. against Yoshi and Donkey Kong, turning it to a rematch. They are booed and decide to fire Bob-ombs at the Mario Bros. instead of using their tennis skills. Bowser helps them in a giant balloon full of Bob-ombs. However, the Bros. and the other characters hit the Bob-ombs back at Wario and Waluigi with their tennis rackets, blowing up parts of the Peach Dome. Mario then hits a Bullet Bill fired by Bowser, which hits the Bob-omb machine, which topples over and launcehes a Bob-omb at Bowser's balloon. Full of Bob-ombs, the balloon crashes into the ground near Wario and Waluigi, causing a huge explosion. The three villains faint as a result.

Mario Party series

Waluigi has appeared in every Mario Party game since the third installment of the ever-popular series, except for Mario Party Advance. In Mario Party 3, he could only play in multi-player mode, but he has been a "fully" playable character in every other game.

Mario Party 3

Waluigi first truly proved that he was an antagonist in his second appearance, Mario Party 3. After clearing the penultimate, Mario and his friends were ambushed by Bowser, who announces that the protagonists will have to fight him for the Mischief Star Stamp. Tumble then realizes the Star Stamp is missing and Waluigi reveals that he has stolen it. Bowser attacks Waluigi for the stamp, but is easily defeated. Waluigi then challenged the other party members to a duel his own board of explosive traps: Waluigi's Island. Despite his efforts, Waluigi was defeated and he forfeited the Star Stamp.

Super Smash Bros. series

Waluigi made his first appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series in Super Smash Bros. Melee, where he appeared as a trophy collectible via Classic Mode or Lottery.

Waluigi later appears as a Sticker, Trophy, and an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He appears with a tennis racket in hand, which is a reference to his debut in Mario Tennis. He kicks his chosen opponent into the ground. He then finishes up by kicking the victim with incredible power, possibly resulting in an instant KO. He may also hit the player with a tennis racket, instead of a power kick, basically giving the same results. This appearance depicts his color scheme slightly differently than his regular appearances; examples are his brown shoes instead of orange, and his black overalls instead of his overalls with very dark shade of purple. Also, one of Luigi's alternate outfits is Waluigi's outfit.

In Game & Watch Gallery 4, Waluigi appeared in the modern version of Boxing as Luigi's final opponent. Waluigi also appeared in Rainshower on Hard mode, where he would try to mess up the player's work.

Mario Golf series

File:MGWaluigi.PNG
Waluigi is renowned for his poor putting ability.

Waluigi proved to be a good golfer in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. He was also an unlockable character in Mario Golf: Advance Tour. He could only be unlocked if a Nintendo GameCube to GameBoy Advance Link Cable was used.

Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour

File:WalgolfTT.jpg
Wario and Waluigi celebrate in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour.

In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Wario and Waluigi see the Mario Bros. golfing with Princess Peach and Princess Daisy. Jealous, they challenge Yoshi and a Koopa to a game of golf, determined to improve their game. However, the game goes badly: Wario ends up getting sand in Waluigi's face in a sand trap and Waluigi turns out to be such a bad putter that Yoshi and Koopa end up falling asleep out of boredom. The duo then challenge Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong to a game of golf.

Wario hits the ball very hard until it lands out of sight into the forest. Wario and Waluigi start celebrating until they hear a loud roar. The two look up and see Bowser in his Koopa Clown Car, and he has a black eye from Wario's golf ball. Bowser starts firing Bullet Bills at the two until they escape via a yellow Warp Pipe that is too small for the Koopa Clown Car to fit through. Wario and Waluigi come out the other side of the pipe and stop to catch their breath, but Bowser catches up to them and prepares to throw a Bob-omb at them.

Meanwhile, Mario is preparing to take a shot. Wario and Waluigi try to escape from Bowser by going through an enormous metal door. Mario hits his ball with the golf club, just as Waluigi is able to open the door, and at that moment the ball Mario just hit bounces off Wario and Waluigi's head to Bowser's hand, knocking the Bob-omb down. The Bob-omb explodes on Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser. Mario stands confused as to what caused the explosion, while Luigi, Peach, and Daisy watch in awe.

Mario Kart series

Waluigi marked his first appearance in the Mario Kart Series in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. In Double Dash!!, he was available from the get-go, but had to be unlocked in Mario Kart DS. He is a default character in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 and Mario Kart Wii. While he typically is in the middleweight class, he is marked as a Large in Mario Kart Wii, most likely because his gangly limbs make him very tall. This may also be due to the fact that many lighter characters were introduced to the series. Also, in Mario Kart Wii, he is given an outstanding acceleration bonus, so karts like the Flame Flyer accelerate better than normal.

Mario Baseball series

Waluigi went on to appear as a captain in Mario Superstar Baseball and its sequel Mario Super Sluggers. Strangely, whenever Waluigi charged up his hits in this game, they tended to have less power instead of more, though the accuracy increased. Waluigi's pitching skills were top-notch, and his strength in the throwing and jumping departments were made known. Waluigi's special move was the Liar Ball: while pitching Waluigi threw both a regular baseball and an eggplant to confuse the batter of their target; when batting, Waluigi would hit both an eggplant and a baseball, confusing the fielders of which ball to catch.

Mario Superstar Baseball

In Mario Superstar Baseball, Wario gets an invitation to Bowser's baseball tournament. With the help of his teammates Waluigi and Donkey Kong, he advances to the finals, where he faces Mario's team. During the game, Waluigi attempts to slide into a home run but slides to short and is tagged out. Despite trying their best, Wario's team lost the tournament.

Mario Super Sluggers

Waluigi and Wario hatch yet another scheme to harm the Mario Bros. in Mario Super Sluggers. While Mario is hitting Bob-ombs shot from a Pitching machine, Wario and Waluigi sneak up and load a Bullet Bill in the Pitching machine. Just as the Bullet Bill is about to hit Mario, much to everyone's surprise, Bowser jumps in front of Mario and whacks the Bullet Bill back to Wario and Waluigi, launching them high into the sky.

Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix

File:Mariomix.jpg
Waluigi faces Mario in a dance-off for the Music Keys.

Waluigi played a pivotal role in the plot of Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. During the events of the game, the strange villain stole the Music Keys from Truffle Tower. Attempting world domination, Waluigi tried to use the keys to make himself a better dancer so that he could "hypnotize the entire world" with his fancy footsteps. However, due to his klutzy nature, Waluigi lost three of the Music Keys, retaining only one. He also attacked Mario (or Luigi) and Toad with a barrage of Bob-ombs after the heroes traveled to Truffle Tower to confront him. Eventually, after an explosive dance-off, Mario (or Luigi) defeated Waluigi and recovered the first Music Key. He swipes them all at the end and it is a huge dance-off. However, Waluigi is defeated and his scheme is ruined. Note this is Waluigi's only game as the main villain.

Mario Football series

Waluigi
The controversial gesture.

Waluigi showed off his soccer skills as a soccer captain in Mario Smash Football and its sequel Mario Strikers Charged Football. Waluigi was a very crude player, making very controversial crotch chops resembling professional wrestler HHH's crotch chops from DX. While some were a bit startled by Waluigi's behavior, this actually increased his popularity to other players. Waluigi's egotistical attitude was also brought out into the forefront of his character in this series. His Super Ability is Wall-Luigi!, where he creates purple vines to block his opponents from reaching him. He also uses the vines in his Mega Strike.

Mario Hoops 3-on-3

Waluigi also appeared in Mario Hoops 3-on-3, where he made use of his ability to swim through imaginary water with his special Twist Dunk shot.

Mario & Sonic series

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Waluigi was a skill player in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. Out of all characters, Waluigi had the highest skill level, a perfect 10/10. He performed excellently in aquatics, archery, and anything with skill.

Characteristics

Physical Description and Traits

File:Waluigi.jpg
Waluigi, in his normal attire, wearing a purple shirt, black overalls, and orange elf-like shoes.

Waluigi usually wears a purple undershirt under black overalls, orange shoes, and a purple cap that covers short, brown hair. He has a large, pink nose, a thin mustache which is straight (horizontal) and pointed up at the edge, and gray eyes. He also has long legs which sometimes work to his advantage in sports. The yellow symbol on his hat and gloves is a vertical mirror image of Luigi's L which forms a Γ, just as Wario wears a W in contrast to Mario's M. The Γ is actually the Greek letter Gamma, which is pronounced similarly to G (as in go).

Just like his partner, Waluigi is the extreme form of his rival. While Luigi is tall and skinny, Waluigi is very tall and very skinny. Wario routinely puts Waluigi on a rack to make him even taller.[6] Many biographies describing him in Mario sports games mention (and poke fun at) his odd facial elements, including his sharp jaw, pointy nose, and flat feet. Waluigi also bares an uncanny resemblance to the classic cartoon character Dick Dastardly.

Waluigi's clothing also breaks the palette-swap color scheme in place from Mario and Luigi. Mario and Luigi have the same colored pants, with their signature colors being opposites (red and green). With Wario and Waluigi, while the signature colors are still opposites (yellow and purple), their pants are not matching colors. Waluigi was designed to wear black pants rather than the purple of Wario (in order to not be monochromatic), which breaks from the previous system of color-coding.

Waluigi's outfit is sometimes referenced by the Mario Bros. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, by wearing both the L Emblem (Luigi) and the W Emblem (Wario) together, Mario will wear a purple undershirt and black overalls. The same can be done in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, by switching Luigi's costume.

Personality and Etymology

File:Eviluig.PNG

In his first appearance, Mario Tennis, Waluigi was personified as a dark and even sinister character. The only sounds he made were psychotic groans accompanied by dark, twisted laughter. Whenever Waluigi scored a point, his eyes would also glow a wicked purple. However, his recent appearances portray Waluigi more as a form of comic relief, often making wisecracks and bearing the brunt of slapstick violence.

Waluigi is a very overconfident character who is easily enraged. He also shows very poor sportsmanship: Waluigi is quick to taunt his opponent, break into victory dance, and cheer for himself; he is easily angered when his opponent makes even a little progress, throwing a temper tantrum. If he wins in Mario Party 8, he holds out a long, red rose, showing that he either has a sweet side or is simply being vain. Wario tries often to make Waluigi more intelligent, but usually fails.[7]

Since Waluigi has the same first two letters of Wario, many people think that Waluigi's name is a clunky offshot of Wario's name. Waluigi actually has a complex Japanese etymology, with many meanings that refer to Waluigi's personality. In Japanese, the r' and l make the same sound, so Luigi can be pronounced in Japanese as Ruiji, and Waluigi can be pronounced as as Waruiji. Waruiji is a portmanteau of warui, the Japanese word for bad or evil, and Ruiji, making his name literally evil Luigi. Additionally, warui, also means to make a condescending apology, instead of a polite apology, referring to Waluigi's arrogance. Waruiji is also an anagram of the Japanese word ijiwaru which translates to "someone who is bad" or "mean-spirited"[8].

Powers and Abilities

Waluigi is talented at a variety of sports, from tennis, to archery, to soccer. Because of this sports talent, Waluigi has had many varied abilities displayed throughout his appearances. These range from the simple, such as jumps, punches, and kicks, to the absolutely absurd and zany, such as spinning to make a small tornado, creating thorny vines, and swimming in midair.

Waluigi's standard abilities include jumping, punching, and kicking. Waluigi's legs are shown to be particularly powerful, as he easily defeats Bowser with a kick in Mario Party 3 and he is able to stomp characters into the ground in Super Smash Bros. Brawl with ease, a skill even Mario hasn't yet displayed. He also shows off his legs strength in Mario Smash Football, with his Drop Rocket technique.

File:Barrera.JPG

Waluigi also has several odd abilities. In Mario Power Tennis, Waluigi could distort his body into the shape of his logo, dance wildly, and create a tornado which would spin his opponent every which-way. He could also swim through the air, an ability which was present in Mario Hoops 3 on 3, as well. In Mario Strikers Charged Football, Waluigi showed the ability to summon and control thorny, purple vines, which he uses for his Wall-Luigi! Super Ability. He also uses them as a whip in his Mega Strike

In the way of weaponry, Waluigi prefers the Bob-omb, although he also favors the Sparky Sticker. In Mario Party 3, Waluigi used a snippy Piranha Plant in battle. In in Mario Party 7 , Waluigi used Professor E. Gadd's Coin Vacuum Orb to steal a random amount of coins from his opponents. Waluigi's special pitch in Mario Superstar Baseball is the Liar Ball, which allows him to throw two balls, one of them being a Whiskered Eggplant. It is rumored that the eggplant can make anyone it comes in contact with vomit.

Relationship with Other Characters

Luigi

Main article: Luigi

Luigi is known as Waluigi's main rival throughout their appearances in the Mario spin-off titles. In Waluigi's first appearance in Mario Tennis, it is revealed that those two shared some sort of rivalry. Their chemistry in Mario Superstar Baseball is bad. Waluigi also doesn't treat Mario any better than he does with Luigi.

Wario

File:Wicked Bros.jpg
Wario and Waluigi work together on many schemes.
Main article: Wario

Wario is Waluigi's partner in many games. Although their relationship has been unclear, they have worked together to create a lot of mischief. Whether or not they are brothers has been debatable, but it has been hinted on the Mario Kart DS course Waluigi Pinball, where the words "Wario's weird sibling" were seen.

Daisy

Main article: Princess Daisy

Daisy began appearing in Mario spin-off titles at the same time that Waluigi began his spin-off appearances. Apparently, whenever Daisy appears in a spin-off game, Waluigi is also in the mix. Those two share bad chemistry in the Mario Baseball series, but they're both Defensive type captains in Mario Strikers Charged Football. In the Mario Party games, the names that those two get when together included "Awkward Date", "Double Facers", and "Skinny Stars." Waluigi apparently has some sort of crush on Daisy, but because Daisy seems to have a crush on Luigi, that may be one reason why Waluigi seems to dislike Luigi.

Bowser

File:Mgtt intro 7.jpg
An example of Waluigi's bad relationship with Bowser.
Main article: Bowser

Waluigi's relationship to Bowser is quite bad in many spin-off titles. Although he has teamed up with him at one point in Mario Power Tennis, Waluigi is usually seen playing against the Koopa King. Examples of their negative relationship include in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, where Bowser chased him and Wario with his Koopa Clown Car. Also, in Mario Super Sluggers, Wario and Waluigi tried to take out Mario with a Bullet Bill, but Bowser repelled the weapon right back at the duo.

Trivia

  • The unseen character Dark Dirk from Valiant's Nintendo Comics System imprint may resemble Waluigi; as Dark Dirk is the apparent doppelgänger of Dirk Drain-Head, a character nearly identical to Luigi.
  • Waluigi was featured as a recurring character in Wario's Warehouse, a series of articles on the Nintendo of Europe website dealing with various games on Nintendo platforms (not necessarily games with Nintendo characters).
  • Waluigi was one of the Mario series characters chosen to appear as spaces in the board game Nintendo Monopoly. Waluigi was the least expensive character to purchase, and as such he was also one of the least profitable characters. The cost to purchase him was $60.
  • Waluigi is the only human, commonly playable in spin-offs, that does not have an infant form.
  • Despite being Wario's partner in many spin-offs, Waluigi has yet to make an actual appearance in the WarioWare series or any Wario series titles.
