|first_appearance=''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' ([[List of games by date#2000|2000]])

|latest_portrayal=[[Charles Martinet]] (2000 – 2022)

'''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".

During the development of ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'', the game had many classic ''Super Mario'' characters, but few were humans, and [[Wario]] did not have a partner for doubles. Then, designer [[Fumihide Aoki]] came up with the idea to make a rival for [[Luigi]]. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] was consulted in order to help with the design. Between the development cast, names like "Jeroji", "Jinani", and "Waigi" popped up, until it was decided that the name would be "Waruiji", portmanteau of the words "Warui" and "Ruiji". It was also decided that the character would be the extreme to Luigi's height and lean body, just as Wario was the extreme to Mario's round and short body. According to [[Shugo Takahashi]], [[Yoichi Kotabe]] put on the finishing touches for Waluigi's final design.<ref>{{cite|url=www.ndw.jp/waluigi-interview-221021/|title=The secret history of Waluigi|date=September 2008|publisher=[[Nintendo DREAM]]}}</ref>

Waluigi makes his debut in the [[Nintendo 64]] version of ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]''. In the opening of ''Mario Tennis'', several characters are introduced as participants in a tennis tournament. Wario and Waluigi watching from afar while lurking on the sidelines of the court. The two then appear in front of the trophy to interrupt the final match between Mario and Luigi. Waluigi states that they want to play, but Luigi declines and mocks Waluigi, which upsets him. Waluigi and Luigi prepare to fight as they walk up to each other. Mario tries to stop them, but Wario stands in his way. Suddenly, [[Bowser]] falls from the sky alongside a [[Boo]], knocking Wario and Waluigi onto the ground. Everyone becomes worried at first, but Bowser and the Boo reveal that they just want to play tennis too. Mario allows the villains to play, and everyone cheers. A [[Bob-omb]] then appears and explodes inside the stadium.

Waluigi also appears in the [[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]] of the game, where he is an unlockable Technique character. He can be unlocked only if a [[Transfer Pak]] is used. Due to this, he is not playable in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] release of the game. In the [[Two-on-One]] minigame, the player as Bowser plays against Wario and Waluigi. Waluigi is also playable in his own minigame, playing against Luigi.

Waluigi returns as a playable character in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]],'' in which he is once again a defensive character and wears a new tennis outfit. He also appeared as an unlockable playable character in the game's online tournament demo, unlocked after 100 points were accumulated. Waluigi's [[Special Shot]] is "Showtime", where he inserts a rose between his teeth, does several pirouettes, and hits the ball. Waluigi's side [[Trick Shot]] is "Moonwalk", and his forwards and backwards Trick Shot is "Twisted Jump" involving him jumping in from of the ball. By earning 1000 participation points in the July 2019 or January 2020 [[List of online tournaments in Mario Tennis Aces|online tournaments]], the player could unlock a costume of Waluigi with his normal overalls.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Waluigi}}

In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', Waluigi appears only in the Modern counterparts of ''[[Boxing]]'' and ''[[Rain Shower]]''. In ''Boxing'', Waluigi appears as Luigi's final opponent, where he attacks by elbowing and kicking in contrast to Luigi's punches. Waluigi is controlled by the second player in Link Cable multiplayer. In ''Rain Shower'', he appears only on Hard Mode, where he moves the lines around, putting the other characters (including Wario) in danger of Bowser's water balloons.

====''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''====

Waluigi reappears as a playable character in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', sporting a golfing outfit in place of his overalls. Like Wario, he is an All-Around character. He has lower Power and Stamina than Wario, but he has a better Speed than him. His Special Shot is known as the Slim Stinger and his Special Dash is known as the Dance-Off Dash.

Waluigi reappears in the [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. He now only shares stats with Donkey Kong and Roy. The ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' features both {{classic|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}} and {{classic|DS|Waluigi Pinball}} as retro courses.

Waluigi also appears as a playable, starting character in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''. He is classified as technical. Waluigi's [[Special Shot]] is the [[Twist Dunk]] which can be done if the player taps the letter "W" twice. Waluigi dribbles the ball in a W shape, and then shoots the ball at the basket with a cyclone flying behind it, and swims through the air to dunk it through the net.

|caption2=Waluigi uses his Special Shot in Basketball.

Waluigi appears in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', where he is classified as a technical type character. His technique stat is very high, but his other stats are fairly low. Waluigi's Special Shot features him throwing up to four balls/pucks. Each shot that connects with the goal is counted, and is worth one point each (this adds up to four points if all shots connect). In dodgeball, Waluigi's Special Shot can launch up to four attacks on his opponents.

While serving in volleyball, Waluigi's serves can go only in a straight line. In dodgeball, Waluigi evades dodgeball attacks by spinning his body.

Waluigi was one of the ''Super Mario'' franchise characters to appear as spaces in the board game [[Nintendo Monopoly]]. Taking the place of Mediterranean Avenue, Waluigi was the least expensive character to purchase; therefore, he was also one of the least profitable characters. The cost to purchase him was $60.

In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Waluigi appears as a playable skin.

Waluigi is personified as a comic relief character and a boastful, ill-tempered foil to the more humble and gentle Luigi. He has bad chemistry with most other characters besides Wario, and is an openly rude and mean-spirited troublemaker. He has a perpetual scowl and is quick to anger, with earlier bios stating that he dislikes others being happy. In his one outing as a central antagonist in ''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix'', Waluigi claims that his reason for obtaining the Music Keys is to be the best dancer in the world, while bragging about using his power to spread chaos and control "the masses". In ''Mario Tennis Aces'', Waluigi points out that his and Wario's reasons for attaining [[Lucien]] was so that they could become the best tennis players in the world. Waluigi's original bio in Mario Tennis also pointed out that he seeked to become as popular and as beloved as the Mario Brothers.<ref name="mt64">{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nm8j/chara/walu.html|title=マリオテニス64　キャラクター　ワルイージ|publisher=''Mario Tennis'' 64 Japanese official website|accessdate=February 10, 2024}}</ref> His victory celebrations often highlight his self-aggrandizing nature and vanity, and occasionally contain vulgar elements as well, such as in ''Super Mario Strikers'' where one of his victory animations involve him performing a {{wp|pelvic thrust}}.

 

However, despite his overconfidence, Waluigi is also characterized by comedic misfortune and the great amount of self-pity he displays at other times. According to his voice actor [[Charles Martinet]], Waluigi feels that good things are always happening to others and not to him, causing him great frustration. Martinet considers his self-pity to be "the cornerstone of Waluigi's character",<ref name="martinet">{{cite|deadlink=yes|url=web.archive.org/web/20090324092141/http://wii.kombo.com/article.php?artid=12729|title=Charles Martinet Celebrates 15 Years of Wario with Kombo|publisher=Kombo.com|accessdate=April 1, 2015}}</ref> such as how he constantly points out his own disadvantages and is quick to attribute his losses to his opponents cheating, while hypocritically taking pride in his own cheating. While Waluigi has many unsavory characteristics and appears aggressive at times, Martinet has nevertheless stated that he prefers to play up Waluigi's more conceited and self-pitying traits, as he feels that direct hostility is unfitting for ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' villains<ref>{{cite|author=Dizko|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pLWlgzfx3s|title=The Eurogamer TV Show: The Voice of Mario, Charles Martinet|date=December 6, 2007|accessdate=February 10, 2024}}</ref>. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', Waluigi shows a bit more sportsmanship; after his scout mission is cleared, he subtly states the gang cheated but commends them for their sneakiness, and congratulates them when they beat the [[Wario Muscles]] in a ball game along with accepting the player's decline for one.

As a comic relief character, he is often given comical and nonsensical animations (often accompanied by brandishing a rose since ''Mario Party 8''), often displaying very poor sportsmanship, being quick to taunt his opponents and cheer for himself, while at the same time scowling in resentment for any progress made by his opponents. In Wario's Warehouse, Wario often portrays Waluigi as extremely stupid, often making idiotic and foolish decisions. However, this contrasts with most of his other descriptions which depict him as the more cunning of the two.

According to the trophy description in ''Super Smash Bros Melee'', he also puts a lot of effort into his antagonistic schemes, although in the end, he never manages to succeed against his rivals. In ''Super Mario Odyssey'', the Waluigi Suit's description claims "This outfit makes you want to lurk in the shadows, waiting for a turn in the spotlight.", either further defining Waluigi to be envious of the Mario Bros, or a likely reference to Waluigi's absence in the mainline games. The Waluigi hat's description also says "It's rarely worn", likely alluding to Waluigi's few and insignificant appearances.

Despite sometimes bickering, Waluigi and Wario have generally been shown to be sports partners, sharing good chemistry in the baseball games and often teaming up in sports events and spinoff titles. According to Fumihide Aoki, Waluigi was intended to be Wario's brother but pictured their current relationship as that of "like co-workers who only cooperate with each other when their goals are the same."<ref name="Aoki Instagram"></ref>.

Waluigi's trophies in both ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' indicate that their relationship is unclear. The Official Prima Guide for ''Mario Party 5'' states Wario and Waluigi are not related,<ref>"''Wario and Waluigi aren't brothers, but that didn't stop them from showing up and challenging the Mario Bros. in Mario Tennis.''" Stratton, Bryan. ''Mario Party 5'': [[Prima Games|Prima's]] Official Strategy Guide. Page 4.</ref> while website bios for ''Mario Party 10'' and ''Super Mario Party'' call Waluigi Wario's accomplice and sidekick, respectively. Contrary to the European website, the Japanese website for ''Mario Kart DS'' only describes Waluigi as Wario's partner, while the European website for Mario Kart Wii calls him Wario's cohort.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=yes|url=web.archive.org/web/20230601093327/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/amcj/chara/index4.html|title=キャラクター＆カート-「隠しキャラクター」]|publisher=Japanese ''Mario Kart DS'' website|accessdate=June 20, 2023}}</ref>

A News Brief in [[Blizland]] in the [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'' states that "Wario and Waluigi aren't brothers".<ref name="unrelated">{{media link|Winter Olympics News Brief.png|Screenshot from ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''}}.

Retrieved February 4, 2022.</ref> A question for the Athlete Characters Quiz in the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'' revolves around Wario's and Waluigi's noses, and its announcer, [[Omochao]], offhandedly says that the two of them are not related. Waluigi's profile in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'' describes him as Wario's partner. In the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Wii U)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', a line of dialogue from a [[Mii]] states again that Waluigi is not Wario's brother. Finally, in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', a trivia fact about Waluigi states that he is not Wario's brother, while its website states he's Wario's pal.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=yes|archive=web.archive.org/web/20230625221109/https://www.olympicvideogames.com/marioandsonic/us/ Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 official website|title=OLYMPIC GAMES TOKYO 2020 - THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE|accessdate=June 25, 2023}}</ref>

Wario merely calls Waluigi his "sneaky pal" when the two were briefly in opposition in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', and the two refer to each other as pals or buddies in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]''. The [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/kids/character/index.html ''Kids'' section of Nintendo Co., Ltd. site] describes Waluigi as Wario's partner, stating they don't appear to be brothers,<ref>{{cite|quote=「ちなみに、ワリオとはよくいっしょにいるけど、{{hover|兄弟|きょうだい}}ではないらしいよ。」 (''By the way, even though Wario is often with [Waluigi], they don't appear to be brothers.'')|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/kids/character/waluigi/index.html|title=Nintendo's official Japanese bio of Waluigi.}}</ref> while [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/characters/index.html ''Mario Portal''] and the Official Home of Super Mario websites also describe Waluigi as Wario's partner, sidekick, pal and accomplice.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=yes|archive=web.archive.org/web/20200117065706/http://mario.nintendo.com/characters/|title=The official home for Mario - Characters|publisher=nintendo.com|accessdate=November 24, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite|url=mario.nintendo.com/characters|title=The official home of Super Mario - Characters|publisher=nintendo.com|accessdate=November 24, 2021}}</ref> Charles Martinet, who voices both characters, has stated his belief that they are simply "two nice, evil guys who found each other."<ref name="martinet" />

Waluigi is not shown to have any friends in the games. Like Wario, Waluigi is on almost as bad terms with Bowser as with most other characters in the series. While Bowser, Wario, and Waluigi team up to try and defeat Mario in the opening cutscene of ''Mario Power Tennis'', they are in conflict more often, such as Bowser blocking the unscrupulous duo from destroying their shared foe Mario (for the Koopa King wanted this pleasure for himself) in ''Mario Super Sluggers'', or Bowser and Waluigi fighting over the Mischief Star Stamp (with the latter curb-stomping the former) in ''Mario Party 3''. As seen in ''Fortune Street'', Bowser thinks very lowly of Waluigi, being quick to point out Waluigi's bad reputation and appearance. Waluigi in ''Fortune Street'' is shown to be confused by others being nice to him, and thinks they are trying to trick him into a false sense of security. However, he has demonstrated a lot less malice when interacting with the player characters, indicating that he mostly just hates the Mario Bros. in particular.

In addition, it has been implied that Waluigi is on particularly bad terms with the yellow [[virus]] from the ''[[Dr. Mario (series)|Dr. Mario]]'' series. In a June 12, 2020 post made by the official ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' social media accounts, which announces an in-game event where 20 of the then-available 21 doctors had their staffing rates increased by 1.5<ref>{{cite|author=drmarioworld_EN|date=June 12, 2020|url=x.com/drmarioworld_en/status/1271246333429477377|title=Yellow: "Looks like doctor staffing rates are currently 1.5 times higher than normal. 20 doctors are available for staffing, and you can see them from Details under Staffing.
