'''Waluigi''' is [[Luigi]]'s lanky rival and [[Wario]]'s partner. Waluigi made his debut in ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'', and since then, he has made playable appearances exclusively in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]'s spin-off titles. He makes an appearance as a playable character in all but one game in the [[Mario Tennis (series)|''Mario Tennis'' series]]. He has been voiced by [[Charles Martinet]] ever since his debut. His name is a portmanteau of the Japanese words ''warui'', meaning "bad", and ''Ruīji'', meaning "Luigi".
