[edit] Character description
Waluigi has so far only appeared in spin-off and party games, as opposed to the main platformer titles, save for a few negligible cameos. He is Luigi's evil rival, in the same way that Wario is Mario's evil rival. Along with this, Waluigi has a hat and gloves with a "Γ" gamma symbol, which is similar to Wario's "W", which is also an inverse or an upside-down "M". Unlike Luigi's green hat and shirt, Waluigi has a purple shirt and hat with black overalls, while his Γ symbol is yellow. He is believed to be Wario's younger brother (although this is unconfirmed) as well as one of his many friends. Waluigi was created by Camelot's Fumihide Aoki and is voiced by Charles Martinet, like Wario and both Mario Bros.
Waluigi is considered to be original to the Mario universe rather than the Wario universe since he has only appeared in Mario spin-offs and is yet to be seen in an actual Wario game (aside from a very brief cameo in WarioWare: Smooth Moves).
[edit] In Super Smash Bros. Melee
Waluigi appears as a trophy in SSBM.
- Waluigi
- "This tall, thin, evil-looking guy seems to be Luigi's rival. He works hard at his mischief: Waluigi reportedly spent a lot of time training for his debut in Mario Tennis by honing his ability to antagonize the Mario brothers. While it's general knowledge that he's the same age as Luigi, his relationship to Wario is unclear."
- Game: Mario Tennis (08/00)
[edit] In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
[edit] As an Assist Trophy
Waluigi appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. When summoned, he dashes at foes and stomps them into the ground, in a manner similar to Donkey Kong's Headbutt or the Pitfall. He stomps the victim multiple times before unleashing a finishing blow with his tennis racket or a kick. His kicks spike, so they can result in a hilarious and humiliating KO if the opponent is a little outside the stage.
[edit] As a trophy
Waluigi also appears as a randomly collectible trophy:
- Waluigi
- A twig-thin man who sees himself as Luigi's ultimate rival. He spent a long time working silently in the shadow of the Mario Bros. before finally becoming strong enough to compete with them in Mario Tennis. Since then, he's had many brilliant game appearances. While the nature of his relationship to Wario is a mystery, the pair have hatched some devious schemes together.

[edit] As a color change
Luigi possesses a black and purple color swap which gives him a similar appearance to Waluigi. The L on his hat also changes to yellow, just like Waluigi's inverted L.
