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).

Unless he attacks constantly, his final attack has a pause which lasts about three seconds.

Waluigi (ワルイージ, Waluigi) is an antagonistic character from the Mario series.
Origin
Waluigi made his debut in Mario Tennis 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.
Waluigi is Luigi's self-appointed rival and anti-hero counterpart, just as Wario is the rival of Mario. Oddly, despite appearing frequently as Wario's partner-in-crime in various Mario spin-off games, he never appears in a Wario game.
Overview
As an Assist Trophy
Waluigi made his debut as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
In Brawl, Waluigi appears with brown shoes instead of his usual orange shoes, and is armed with his tennis racket from Mario Tennis. In Smash 4 onward, he retains his signature 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 three 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.
In Brawl, like most Assist Trophy characters that appear on-stage, Waluigi is invincible; however, in Smash 4 onward, he can be attacked and even KO'd. In Ultimate, KO'ing the Waluigi Assist Trophy earns the player an extra point.
Ultimate's Training Mode describes the Waluigi 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.
As an alternate costume
In Brawl onward, Waluigi's color scheme serves as Luigi's purple alternate costume. In Smash 4 onward, it also serves as Mario's purple alternate costume.
As a Mii Costume
Waluigi serves as the basis for the default Waluigi's Cap headgear for the Mii Fighters.
Trophies
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
The Waluigi trophy can be obtained through the Lottery once at least 250 other trophies have been collected.
- 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.
- Mario Tennis (08/00)
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- 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.
- : Mario Tennis
- : Mario Kart Double Dash
In Super Smash Bros. 4
Waluigi appears as a trophy in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, it can be obtained by achieving a score of at least 85 in Rival Smash.
- Waluigi
- A crooked mustache and a long, red nose— Waluigi has "villain" written all over him. He considers himself Luigi's rival. He's cunning and quick. When summoned into battle, he'll rush the nearest fighters and stomp them into the ground—then thwack them with his foot or tennis racket!
- Long, red nose? Handlebar moustache? Bendy body? Yep, this lanky schemer is Luigi's rival, Waluigi. In this game, he'll dash over to the nearest fighter and stomp on them to bury them in the ground. Then he'll finish them off with a big kick or a whack with his tennis racket. Ouch!

Trivia
- In the Super Smash Bros. Direct 4.8.2014, Waluigi was shown 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.
- In that same Direct, when Waluigi is laughing, his mouth is open. In the final game, however, his mouth is always closed, even when he is laughing. This is strange, considering how in Brawl, his mouth is open while laughing. This is fixed in Ultimate, where his mouth is opened while laughing.
- Waluigi has been used to introduce a section of a Nintendo Direct discussing Assist Trophies, as shown in the April 2014 Direct regarding SSB4 where Sakurai starts the Assist Trophies section by explaining what they do with a Waluigi plush next to him. Waluigi was also used to demonstrate players being able to KO Assist Trophies in Ultimate.
- In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, if Waluigi doesn't reach the ground while stomping in the air, he will repeat the animation (it doesn't have a hitbox, and he doesn't make any noise while doing it either).
- 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 and 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 The Washington Post noted the outpouring of support for Waluigi by making 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 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 should be aware of the requests for Waluigi becoming a playable character, making him playable is overall his decision.[1]
- 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.
