Waluigi's relationship to Wario
Despite sometimes bickering, Waluigi and Wario have generally been shown to be friends or at least colleagues, sharing good chemistry in the baseball games and often teaming up in sports events and spinoff titles. Although they have been called brothers in the original Mario Tennis website,[2] Prima guide[3] and certain Nintendo of Europe sources such as Wario's Warehouse[4][better source needed] or the Mario Kart DS website,[5][dead link] various websites, guides and games since then have only described them as partners, with some explicitly stating the two are not related.
Waluigi's trophies in both Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl indicate that their relationship is unclear. The Official Prima Guide for Mario Party 5 states Wario and Waluigi are not related,[6] while website bios for Mario Party 10 and Super Mario Party call Waluigi Wario's accomplice and sidekick, respectively. Contrary to the European website, the Japanese website for Mario Kart DS only describes Waluigi as Wario's partner, while the European website for Mario Kart Wii call him Wario's cohort.[7]
A News Brief in Blizland in the DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games states that "Wario and Waluigi aren't brothers".[8] A question for the Athlete Characters Quiz in the Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games revolves around Wario's and Waluigi's noses, and its announcer, Omochao, offhandedly says that the two of them are not related. Waluigi's profile in Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games describes him as Wario's partner. In the Wii U version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, a line of dialogue from a Mii states again that Waluigi is not Wario's brother. Finally, in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, a trivia fact about Waluigi states that he is not Wario's brother.
Wario merely calls Waluigi his "sneaky pal" when the two were briefly in opposition in Mario Super Sluggers, and the two refer to each other as pals or buddies in Mario Golf: Super Rush. The Kids section of Nintendo Co., Ltd. site describes Waluigi as Wario's partner, stating they don't appear to be brothers, while Mario Portal and the Official Home of Super Mario websites also describe Waluigi as Wario's partner, sidekick, pal and accomplice.[9][10]Charles Martinet, who voices both characters, has stated his belief that they are simply "two nice, evil guys who found each other."[1]
