Waluigi (ワルイージ, Waluigi) is a character from the 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.

Origin

Official artwork of Waluigi from the N64 version of Mario Tennis. The racket seen in the image is the same one used by Waluigi in Brawl, Smash 4 and Ultimate.

Waluigi made his first appearance in Mario Tennis and like Princess Daisy, he 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 Camelot's Fumihide Aoki and is voiced by Charles Martinet, like Wario and both Mario Bros.

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 Mario Party 3 have 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, as Waluigi has orange shoes in the Mario games, not brown; although his orange shoes were retained in SSB4 and Ultimate. The tennis racket he is holding has retained its design from Mario Tennis.

Trophy

Waluigi appears as a trophy in Melee, which can be unlocked 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.

As an Assist Trophy

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. He is voiced by Charles Martinet, who also voices Mario, Luigi and Wario.

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, but its orientation is not flipped.

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.

Waluigi attacking Luigi in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

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 Mario and Luigi, his appearance is more cartoonish, 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 a color change

Luigi retains his Waluigi-inspired palette swap, albeit now with a purple L instead of yellow. Mario also gains a Waluigi-inspired costume, with the M on his hat becoming yellow.

Waluigi's Cap is an unlockable hat for all Mii Fighter types.

Trophy

Waluigi appears as a challenge reward trophy, unlocked 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!

As an Assist Trophy

Waluigi as he appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Waluigi reprises 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 and can now be launched and reward a point if KO'd. Like Mario and Luigi, his hair and clothing now feature simple detailing, similar to Brawl, though his shoes keep their orange color like they were in SSB4. Training Mode describes his Assist Trophy: Stomps on nearby opponents and then launches them with a racket. Waluigi can't appear in the following stages: 3D Land, Midgar, Mute City SNES, Norfair, Spirit Train, and Suzaku Castle.

As a color change

Mario and Luigi retain their Waluigi-inspired costumes in this game, unchanged from SSB4.
