Waluigi

"You're lousy!"

—Waluigi, Mario Party 6 and Mario Party 7

Waluigi is personified as a comic relief character and a boastful, ill-tempered foil to the more humble and gentle Luigi. He has bad chemistry with most other characters besides Wario, and is an openly rude and mean-spirited troublemaker. He has a perpetual scowl and is quick to anger, with earlier bios stating that he dislikes others being happy. In his one outing as a central antagonist in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, Waluigi claims that his reason for obtaining the Music Keys is to be the best dancer in the world, while bragging about using his power to spread chaos and control "the masses". In Mario Tennis Aces, Waluigi points out that his and Wario's reasons for attaining Lucien was so that they could become the best tennis players in the world. Waluigi's original bio in Mario Tennis also pointed out that he seeked to become as popular and as beloved as the Mario Brothers.^[11] His victory celebrations often highlight his self-aggrandizing nature and vanity, and occasionally contain vulgar elements as well, such as in Super Mario Strikers where one of his victory animations involve him performing a pelvic thrust.

In the Mario Party series, as of Mario Party 4, Waluigi abandons his arrogance to play fairly against his opponents, something that is also the case for Wario. However, Waluigi's victory animations still depict him as somewhat of a boastful character, due to him ranting about "being a superstar."

However, despite his overconfidence, Waluigi is also characterized by the great amount of self-pity he displays at other times. According to his voice actor Charles Martinet, Waluigi feels that good things are always happening to others and not to him, causing him great frustration. Martinet considers his self-pity to be "the cornerstone of Waluigi's character",^[7] such as how he constantly points out his own disadvantages and is quick to attribute his losses to his opponents cheating, while hypocritically taking pride in his own cheating. While Waluigi has many unsavory characteristics and appears aggressive at times, Martinet has nevertheless stated that he prefers to play up Waluigi's more conceited and self-pitying traits, as he feels that direct hostility is unfitting for Mario villains.^[12] In Mario Super Sluggers, Waluigi shows a bit more sportsmanship; after his scout mission is cleared, he subtly states the gang cheated but commends them for their sneakiness, and congratulates them when they beat the Wario Muscles in a ball game along with accepting the player's decline for one.

As a comic relief character, he is often given comical and nonsensical animations, often displaying very poor sportsmanship, being quick to taunt his opponents and cheer for himself, while at the same time scowling in resentment for any progress made by his opponents. In Wario's Warehouse, Wario often portrays Waluigi as extremely stupid, often making idiotic and foolish decisions. However, this contrasts with most of his other descriptions which depict him as the more cunning of the two.

In Waluigi's trophy description for Super Smash Bros. Melee, it is said that he puts a lot of effort into his antagonistic schemes, although in the end, he never manages to succeed against his rivals. In Super Mario Odyssey, the Waluigi Suit's description claims "This outfit makes you want to lurk in the shadows, waiting for a turn in the spotlight.", either further defining Waluigi to be envious of the Mario Bros, or a likely reference to Waluigi never being a major, or important character. The Waluigi hat's description also says "It's rarely worn", likely alluding to Waluigi's few and insignificant appearances.

Waluigi has been shown as quite secretive about his personal life and has demonstrated a more cynical and skeptical point of view compared to the other characters, as even his oldest descriptions mentioned his egotism and his outsider status in the Mushroom Kingdom. However, recent games have played up Waluigi's hardworking and less malicious personality traits, as shown in Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games when he sardonically warns the player that people will not cheer on them forever just because they win medals, and in Mario Golf: World Tour when he interacts with the player character to either tell them to not let their victory get to their heads, or that they should be honest with themselves and happy because they earned it. Additionally, he remarks that his favorite thing to do in between rounds is just to relax and have fun.

Association with Wrecking Crew

Although Waluigi has never appeared in Wrecking Crew, he has been associated with the game on a few occasions, presumably done in place of Foreman Spike. The earliest instance of this is in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, in which Waluigi's song is Destruction Dance, a remix of Wrecking Crew's bonus game tune. Another possible instance is Waluigi's Star Skill from Mario Superstar Baseball, Liar Ball and its corresponding Challenge mode item, Whiskered Eggplant, which is purple like the Eggplant Men from Wrecking Crew. In Mario Kart DS, one of Waluigi's personal karts in the Gold Mantis, a reference to the construction site crane used by Foreman Spike.

Relationships

Wario

Waluigi and Wario appear to have a complicated relationship, sometimes working together (as seen in Mario Super Sluggers) or competing. Waluigi's partner in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is Wario, as well, so many people think they are brothers just like Mario and Luigi. However, Waluigi has never been explicitly confirmed to be related to Wario family-wise. At times, Waluigi and Wario also seem to have a somewhat negative relationship, as they break into an argument in Mario Super Sluggers.

Princess Daisy

Waluigi has a crush on Daisy. However, the two share bad chemistry and Daisy has never returned her feelings to him. But they do team up in some games, mostly in Mario party games.

Luigi

Waluigi and Luigi are rivals, in a similar fashion to Mario and Wario's rivalry. Waluigi likes to pick on Luigi, and the two share bad chemistry in Mario Super Sluggers. In Waluigi's first appearance in Mario Tennis, Luigi mocked Waluigi when he asked to play tennis with them. However, Waluigi considers Luigi a rival more than Luigi considers him a rival. But after all they do team up in some games, mostly Mario Party games and the Baseball games.

Behind the scenes

Etymology

Waluigi's name is a portmanteau of Luigi's name and the Japanese adjective warui (悪い) meaning "bad," hence, a "bad Luigi".

Trivia

• According to the official guide to Mario Party 5 and Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Wario and Waluigi are not brothers however the Guide for Mario Kart Wii says otherwise. Additionally, the official websites for Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64 and Mario Kart DS state that they're brothers however Waluigi's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee states that their relationship is unclear.
• Waluigi appears in every Mario Party game since Mario Party 3 as a playable character except Advance.
• In Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Mario is able to change his clothes into Waluigi's by wearing both the L Emblem and the W Emblem badges.
• In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate one of Luigi's costumes is based on Waluigi's outfit. Mario also has a Waluigi-themed costume in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
• Waluigi's trademark "Г" or upside L symbol, is the Cyrillic and Greek letter for G.
• 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 is the only human, commonly playable in spin-offs, who does not have an infant form.
• In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, some of the coin formations resemble the "Γ" on Waluigi's cap. This is mostly noticeable in World 9-8.
• Waluigi was rumored to be a playable character in Super Mario 64 DS, due to a certain "Purple Prizes" sheet that was made as an April Fool's joke by Electronic Gaming Monthly back in 2005. It stated that one must complete a certain task to unlock him. However this was proven false.
• Despite only appearing in spin-off titles, Waluigi is considered a fan favorite by Mario fans.
• Mario Kart Wii says that he owns Mushroom Kingdom's largest motor oil refinery, and Stadium Arena and Waluigi Stadium from Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 suggest he has an interest in mechanical attractions like animatronic dinosaurs, further compounded by the suggestion that he designed and built the Waluigi Pinball courses in other Mario Kart games.
