'''Waluigi''' ({{ja|ワルイージ|Waruīji}}, ''Waluigi'') is an antagonistic character from the {{uv|Mario}} series.  
'''Waluigi''' ({{ja|ワルイージ|Waruīji}}, ''Waluigi'') is a character from the ''{{uv|Mario}}'' series. He is [[Luigi]]'s self-appointed rival and anti-hero counterpart; just as [[Wario]] is the rival of [[Mario]]. He is considered to be part of the ''Mario'' universe in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

Waluigi made his debut in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Tennis|Nintendo 64}}'' and has become a recurring character in later ''Mario'' spin-off games. He is a lanky man with a big, pink nose, a pointed mustache, pointed ears, and eyes surrounded by light blue rings. He wears dark indigo overalls, a purple undershirt, a purple cap with a yellow "Γ" gamma symbol, a pair of white gloves, and a pair of orange pointed shoes. In the ''Mario'' spin-off games, Waluigi is shown to have powerful legs, able to easily kick Bowser.
Waluigi made his first appearance in ''[[mariowiki:Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' and has appeared in nearly every ''Mario'' spin-off since serving as Wario's partner-in-crime and best friend (although oddly, he has never appeared in a ''Wario'' game). He is [[Luigi]]'s "evil" rival, in the same way that [[Wario]] is [[Mario]]'s. 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 and orange elf-like shoes, while his Γ symbol is yellow. Waluigi was created by [[mariowiki:Camelot Software Planning|Camelot]]'s Fumihide Aoki and is voiced by [[Charles Martinet]], like Wario and both Mario Bros.


Waluigi is [[Luigi]]'s self-appointed rival and anti-hero counterpart, just as [[Wario]] is the rival of [[Mario]]. This rivalry began in the opening cutscene of ''Mario Tennis'' where Waluigi and Wario interrupt the final match between Mario and Luigi stating they want to play, but Luigi declines and mocks Waluigi, upsetting him. Like Wario, Waluigi is much raunchier than his counterparts, examples including his frequent use of roses, a universal symbol for romance, as well as his signature crotch chop in the ''Mario Strikers'' series. He is also very spiteful and vindictive, often joining Wario's pranks on others as a legitimate act of revenge. Oddly, despite appearing frequently as Wario's partner-in-crime in various ''Mario'' spin-off games, he has not physically appeared in a {{uv|Wario}} game. Currently, his only appearance in a ''Wario'' game is if a Waluigi [[amiibo]] is scanned in {{s|mariowiki|Wario's amiibo Sketch}} in ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare Gold}}'', in which Wario draws a poor quality picture of him.
In ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'', and ''Ultimate'', Waluigi appears as an Assist Trophy wielding his tennis racket, which is a reference to his first appearance in ''Mario Tennis''. He will try to stomp players into the ground; however, Waluigi has never done this in any other game, though several games such as ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Party 3}}'' has shown that he has very powerful legs (in the aforementioned game, he knocks out the usually highly durable [[Bowser]] with a single kick). His finishing move either involves kicking the player, or hitting the player with his tennis racket. His appearance has slightly changed in ''Brawl'', Waluigi has orange shoes in the ''Mario'' games, not brown; although the orange shoes were retained in ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate''. The tennis racket he is holding has retained its design from ''Mario Tennis''.

Waluigi makes his debut as an Assist Trophy. He appears with brown shoes instead of his usual orange shoes, and is armed with his tennis racket from ''Mario Tennis''.
Waluigi appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He has brown shoes instead of his usual orange shoes. When summoned, he dashes at a random opponent on stage and stomps them into the ground (although he can stomp multiple opponents at once if others around are caught in the stomps). He stomps the victim(s) multiple times before unleashing a finishing blow with his tennis racket or a kick. His kicks [[meteor smash]] if the opponent is a little outside the stage. Unless he attacks constantly, his final attack has a pause which lasts about 3 seconds. He is relatively easy to avoid on the stage, as he can be avoided by simply jumping over him, and it can be quite easy to lure him off-stage. However, if opponents are careless, he can be quite deadly.

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 in ''Brawl'', just like Waluigi's inverted L. The L, however, doesn't flip itself like Waluigi's does.

Waluigi returns as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. He behaves the same as in ''Brawl'', albeit he can be defeated if he takes enough damage, with him having his own [[KO]] animation. Just like {{SSB4|Mario}} and {{SSB4|Luigi}}, his appearance is more cartoon-like, with less detail on his clothing and lighter, more solid colors used all around. Of particular note are his shoes, which are now closer to the proper orange coloring, as opposed to the brown shoes in ''Brawl''.

As an Assist Trophy, like most of the on-stage Assist Trophies that are invulnerable to attack, Waluigi can be attacked and KO'd.

Waluigi will reprise his role as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He behaves the same way he does in previous games, although he stays on stage much longer than in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4''. Like {{SSBU|Mario}} and {{SSBU|Luigi}}, his hair and clothing now feature simple detailing, similar to ''Brawl'', though his shoes keep their orange color like they were in ''SSB4''.
 
The Waluigi Assist Trophy can be attacked and KO'd, which earns the player an extra point. [[Training Mode]] describes his Assist Trophy: ''Stomps on nearby opponents and then launches them with a racket.'' He cannot be summoned in the [[3D Land]], [[Midgar]], [[Mute City SNES]], [[Norfair]], [[Spirit Train]], and [[Suzaku Castle]] stages.

===Spirits===
Waluigi also appears as an Ace-class [[primary spirit]] and is featured on the {{h2|List of spirits (Super Mario series)|Standard Bike}} spirit, while Waluigi's ''Super Mario Strikers'' version appears as an Advanced-class primary spirit.
 
Both Waluigi Spirit Battles use a {{SSBU|Luigi}} puppet fighter.
 
The Waluigi spirit is fought on the [[Peach's Castle]] stage, with the latter and the music track referencing the {{s|mariowiki|Waluigi Pinball}} race course from ''Mario Kart DS'' based on the bumper and the two floating inward-angled platforms resembling pinball slingshots. During the battle, Waluigi appears as a hostile Assist Trophy.  
 
The Waluigi (Super Mario Strikers) spirit is fought on the [[Wuhu Island]] stage's Swordplay Colosseum layout, referencing the soccer arenas in the ''Mario Strikers'' series, which takes place on a field in a crowded stadium. During the battle, the Soccer Ball item will appear, referencing the sport that this spirit's origin game is based on.

*Waluigi is one of the most consistently requested characters to be made playable in ''Smash'', and has a large, vocal fanbase that clamors for his inclusion as a playable character instead of an [[Assist Trophy]], citing his frequent appearance in ''Mario'' spin-offs alongside his unique, colorful personality and aesthetic. The Waluigi fanbase was most vocal after developer [[Masahiro Sakurai]] revealed that Waluigi would be reprising his role as an Assist Trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' and spread memes, videos, artwork, and petitions to get Sakurai to make Waluigi playable; even {{s|wikipedia|The Washington Post}} noted the outpouring of support for Waluigi by making [https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2018/06/12/waluigi-was-robbed-and-humiliated-by-nintendo-and-his-fans-are-furious/ a post] about him being "robbed and humiliated by Nintendo", likely as a jab at him being knocked out seconds after being seen. The clamor got even more intense when the [[Piranha Plant]], a common ''Mario'' enemy that had never even been playable in its own series before (and, ironically, was Waluigi's default partner in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Party 3}}''{{'}}s Duel Mode), made the cut as a playable character, shocking many and leading people to post memes about how it got in the game before Waluigi. However, Nintendo clarified that while Sakurai is aware of the requests for Waluigi becoming a playable character, making him playable is overall his decision.<ref>Walker, Justin.

Ultimate'' and spread memes, videos, artwork, and petitions to get Sakurai to make Waluigi playable; even {{s|wikipedia|The Washington Post}} noted the outpouring of support for Waluigi by making [https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2018/06/12/waluigi-was-robbed-and-humiliated-by-nintendo-and-his-fans-are-furious/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.4b46e19664bf/ a post] about him being "robbed and humiliated by Nintendo", likely as a jab at him being knocked out seconds after being seen. The clamor got even more intense when the [[Piranha Plant]], a common ''Mario'' enemy that had never even been playable in its own series before, made the cut as a playable character, shocking many and leading people to post memes about how it got in the game before Waluigi. However, Nintendo clarified that while [https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2018/jun/30/masahiro-sakurai-will-be-aware-groundswell-support-waluigi-be-super-smash-bros-ultimate-says-reggie-fils-aime/ Sakurai is aware of the requests for Waluigi becoming playable], making him playable is ultimately his decision.
*Waluigi and [[Spring Man]] are the only Assist Trophies in ''Ultimate'' who use an English voice actor in all regions, and two of four in general to hold this distinction, with [[Kat & Ana]] and [[Saki Amamiya]] sharing this distinction as well.
