Waluigi (ワルイージ, Waruīji) is a character from the Mario series.
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 a actual Wario game (aside from a very brief cameo in WarioWare: Smooth Moves).
In Super Smash Brothers Melee
Waluigi appears as a trophy in SSBM.
Description
"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)
In Super Smash Brothers Brawl
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 an hilarious and humilliating KO if the opponent is a little outside the stage.
As a color change
Luigi possesses a black and purple color swap which gives him a similar appearance to Waluigi.
As a playable character
Waluigi was rumoured to be a playable character prior to the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. As with many other characters, this was proven wrong as soon as the information was released that he was an assist trophy. Waluigi was higly wanted, but because he does not have his own game, many consider that is holding him back.
