| '''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]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. | | '''Waluigi''' should be in smash switch |

| ==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. 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. He is believed to be Wario's younger brother (though the game ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games}}'' on the Nintendo DS states they are not, saying that Waluigi is actually Wario's co-partner, despite the fact that he has never physically appeared in a ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare}}'' game, but as the game was mainly handled by SEGA, the authenticity of this is called into question) as well as one of his many friends. Waluigi was created by [[mariowiki:Camelot Software Planning|Camelot]]'s Fumihide Aoki and is voiced by [[Charles Martinet]], like Wario and both Mario Bros.

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.''

| |
| 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, able to avoid him by simply jumping over him. However, if opponents are careless, he can be quite deadly.

| :''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.''

| ===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 in ''Brawl'', just like Waluigi's inverted L. The L, however, doesn't flip itself like Waluigi's does. Mario also has a black and purple color swap which also gives him a similar appearance to Waluigi in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and the M on his hat becomes yellow. In ''Smash 4'', Luigi's costume changes the yellow L to purple.

| |
| 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. 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''.
| |
| | |
| Luigi retains his Waluigi-inspired palette swap (albeit without a yellow L), and Mario also gains a very similar costume in ''Smash 4''.

| |
| Waluigi will reprise his role as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].''
| |
| | |
| ==Origin==
| |
| 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 ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', 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''. The tennis racket he is holding has retained its design from ''Mario Tennis''.

| *In the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xUWnQu2Grs Super Smash Bros. Direct 4.8.2014], he appeared to be representing the ''Wario'' universe as opposed to the ''Mario'' universe. This change was not carried over to the final version of the game.
