วีดีโอ

Even tho waluigi is one of my favorite Mario characters. I do agree with many that captain syrup should have taken the roll as warios partner/counterpart. She already existed as Warios first rival antagonist and already had a lot of character establishment in the Wario games, and even having some features similar to waluigi. There was so much more creativity and vision behind her Instead of being only made to be a counterpart. It’s just a shame Nintendo missed that opportunity of not adding her in Mario tennis. She would have also made a unique and refreshing addition to the female character roster. But I would still like to have both syrup and waluigi. I just think she deserves more acknowledgment and credit, and hopefully we finally get to see her again after 15 years

Also he’s a villain in Mario D.D.R

Erm actually he’s a costume in Mario odyssey

The upside down L is called the Greek letter Γ γ (Gamma) and Waluigi has that because his name in Greek is Γουαλουίτζι

13:00 nintendo shoving toads down our throats like we're someone's daughter while nextlix and chill is disgusting to me. The danm things are annoying and sound awful, wario and waluigi are villains and wouldn't make sense having them saving the princess but that excuse sucks, Wario is playable in sm64ds it makes no sense.

Warui Luigi Waruigi Waluigi Get it? It's still a pun.

An upside-down L is r lol

Something people seem to always miss about Waluigi's name and symbol. Waluigi and Wario's names are derived from the word "waru" or "bad [guy]" combined with the names of their hero counterparts. When writing foreign words in japanese, certain consonant sounds have default japanese kana that get used. For example, Peach is written as 「ピーチ」("Piichi"). The default kana used for R (and L) is 「ル」(ru) while the default kana for W is 「ワ」 (wa). Occasionally, character names may be shortened using English consonants to match their japanese length names, especially on older games that needed to save as much cartridge space as possible. Wario's name is 5 characters in English, but only three in Japanese ワリオ. Using the same number of english characters, it would be written "WRO" Waluigi, meanwhile, is written using 5 kana in japanese- ワルイージ ("Waluiiji"). In english, this would be rendered as WRIIJ. When turned upside-down, L is not a capital letter, but it does heavily resemble the lowercase "r." This matchess Wario's symbol very cleanly, especially when the two stand next to each other. Side-by-side, Wario and Waluigi's hats would read "W r" or, " WARU" (Bad guys).

I think Waluigi has great potential for his own game, for instance, imagine a stealth/action game starring Waluigi with MGSV: Ground Zeroes gameplay/openness, Luigi’s mansion characterization/collects thin elements, and Persona 5’s unique area theme/decorations!

It’s kind of crazy to me that people act like being included as an assist trophy in smash bros is not major. Waluigi is a character who exists to be a Luigi version counterpart to Wario and nothing else really. The fact that he’s in smash bros at all is pretty impressive. There are tons of devs who’d kill to have their character included in smash bros.

I think the best way to slowly go about waluigi being part of the main line games 1. have Waluigi be player 2 in a Wario adventure game 2. have Waluigi be a secondary antagonist/rival to Luigi in a Luigi's Mansion 4 (maybe even a secret character) 3. have him and Wario be bosses and/or playable characters in a mainline Mario game 4. give him his own game after all that 5. after all that, let him join smash honestly think Waluigi is just potential wasting away, he is suppose to be Luigi's Wario and Wario's Luigi but never gets the chance to properly show it off (not counting spinoff games) and IDK how people don't see it and just see a meme

A full-fledged Waluigi Pinball would be awesome

A game store near me once mocked up a game case to be "Waluigi's Taco Stand" and the back had 4 "screenshots" with captions underneath depicting features in the supposed game. The first three were goofy but seemed mostly-plausible for a game while the fourth screencap was Waluigi holding his head and the caption underneath read, "WAAAAAAAAAAA!" I wisht that game was real. I wish the proposed games here were real.

I’d like another remake of Super Mario 64 for like they did on the DS but for the Switch with updated modern graphics. Keep Luigi, Yoshi, and Wario but add Wauligi, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong as playable characters. Also add a day and night feature where the paintings change at night to something completely different giving you brand new levels to play as while still keeping all the original ones during the day.

Waluigi can be his own genre of gaming

I have 2 ideas for games for this fan favorite meme character: 1: a stealth-based puzzle game where Waluigi is hired by Bowser to kidnap Peach (again) since he’s recovering from his last adventure. Spoilers, Bowser doesn’t pay and Waluigi undoes all that he did! 2: a goofy Mech-based Combat game which displays Waluigi’s ability to make something decent as cheaply as possible as his starter mech is a lawn chair taped to two inverted treadmills with a clear plastic tube to protect himself and an old baseball launcher jerry-rigged to the “cockpit” to fight! As the game progresses, you can upgrade your oversized modern art piece into a full-blown proper mech.

Yes, Waluigi is almost certainly “untapped”.

In terms of Waluigi's name, it's better in Japanese, being a play on the word "warui" meaning "bad". They were kind of lucky that the same pun they used for Wario also kind of works for Luigi.

Considering how Nintendo runs nowadays there will probably be a Wario and Waluigi DLC for Wonder in maybe a month

My favourite waluigi headcanon is that he has a very regular full time job so he can’t go on adventures. He loves sports though he always makes time tor sports

I'm sick of people saying that Wario and Waluigi aren't brothers. It's just many different sources say different things and Nintendo has more so just worded it as "relationship unclear" which only further demonstrates their lack of attention for Waluigi.

Waluigi proves that you don't need the spotlight to be #1. 😎

According to an old Nintendo magazine, Waluigi is an actor that Wario hired. Waluigi isn't even his real name. That's why his costume is cheap and he's often described as chasing the spotlight.

10:19 Funny you bring up Wario: Master of Disguise. An official Japanese Manga called Dr. Mario-kun had Waluigi don a Thief Disguise alongside Wario. Waluigi even sort of takes over the role of Goodstyle there. Search up "The connections between Waluigi and the Wario series" and you should find Wario Franchise Appreciation Blog's post about it.

i always wanted waluigi to have his own take on the old flash game abobo’s big adventure, where he’s in a parody of a different game each level. maybe the story would be that he’s pitching different spinoff ideas to nintendo, like he’s literally giving an elevator pitch to miyamoto himself, and the 2 banter about waluigi’s ideas while you play. basically warioware but lanky and less subtle, like waluigi himself. heck, if we’re going the meta route, maybe we could get some jokes about the game industry through the dialogue.

I think if we added Waluigi into 64 ds we could easily give him the P-balloon power Mario has as he already has the wingcap

dang your content is super good keep up the good work

2:46, well there is. Waluigi’s whole character is that he is the ULTIMATE loser. his creation is a distortion of a distortion (using wario’s likeness, based off of Luigi, who is based off from Mario) by all accounts he the polar opposite of Mario on a grid, which suggest he’s everything Mario isn’t. He’s character reflects that he wants to be relevant in universe, and NEVER Succeeds. Contrast to the popular Mario that’s in every game Nintendo regulates Waluigi to spinoffs because he is completely irrelevant. Waluigi’s identity being based on the other plumbers makes him a very weak character on his own, he only works in spinoffs because it fits his character blending in the giant cast, Nintendo ran with this and poke fun at it in super Mario odyssey’s costume. The sticker on his hat shows how distant he is compared to the rest of the plumbers who are all embroidered. he not relevant enough to earn a “true” status.

Obviously, Waluigi's games are the sports games. Why else does he only show up there?

The reason why nintendo doesn’t use Waluigi that often is probably that his design is very similar to a character in a japanese cartoon. (Seems like a rip-off maybe) A fun idea for Waluigi I had is that he appears like a rival in Luigi‘s mansion. Maybe he tries to get fame by saving Mario or he tries to collect money and own the villa. He could appear regularly sabotaging Luigi, creating more puzzles. It’s now a race who can get to King Boo first. Waluigi does in the end and gets captured immediately. Luigi now saves everyone, including him. This whole dynamic could lead to a lot of cool and funny moments I think. And Waluigi wouldn’t be just player #2 or villain #2. He would be his own special thing, adding more to the game.

I feel Nintendo doesn't incorporate Waluigi in other games because they don't see his character as appealing enough. In the sense they don't believe people find the idea of playing as him necessarily intriguing. His character didn't have a lot of inspiration behind his conception and design, unlike Wario who was conceived as the new villain for Mario Land 2 (and was featured in commercials for the game). Also prior to Mario Wonder, Daisy was 'in a similar spot' to Waluigi as she was also delegated to exclusively spin-off appearances (with the exception to her debut). But then she was added to Wonder to ensure the playable roster catered to both girls and boys. Waluigi as an intellectual property does not have that utility. Nonetheless, I personally feel adding Waluigi to something like a Wario game would undeniably amplify its appeal and Nintendo should see that.

Mm

Blue toad is a pure soul and a blessing upon the world, replacing him with anything would be a crime and make the world a worse place. Yellow toad is kinda sus though and he can leave.

I remember an old flash game with Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi in a Mario & Luigi style RPG and ever since then I’ve always wanted something like that in an official capacity

I remember seeing a Luigi's Mansion 3 video by Arlo where someone mentioned a "Waluigi's Motel" in the comments. That's what I would want to see.

I honestly think Waluigi will get his chance in the spotlight one day, whether its his debut as a playable character in Smash or his own game/a playable appearance in a mainline game

I love Waluigi as much as you do but the reason hes not in any mario or wario game is because there aren't many situations that call for a "Bad Luigi". Also Nintendo doesnt hate Waluigi, it may feel like it but Miyamoto did like Waluigi's design.

I had this idea a while ago for a Waluigi solo game called Waluigi's Cheap Casino. The idea was that you, as Waluigi, had to scam people with your casino without getting caught.

I always thought of Waluigi as a tragic character. He seems to blame others for his failure in life, saying things like "everybody cheated!" when he loses in Mario Kart. Which is parallels his legacy as a character, never succeeding at being more than a side character. Either his own game or being playable in a mainline game could give him the redemption he's looking for.

I dunno, waluigi probably isn’t real or canon to the mainline series 💔

A great poem...? Arg

It still bugs me to this day that there is a 4th door in SM64DS that should definitely have been for Waluigi, otherwise it looks so out of place. I’m sure Nintendo never even considered Waluigi since Yoshi was the 4th character. Originally that door was probably for Yoshi before they opted to allow you to switch to Yoshi by going in the same door twice

2004: Wario (Super Mario 64 DS) 2013: Rosalina (Super Mario 3D World) 2023: Daisy (Super Mario Bros Wonder) 203X: Waluigi?????

I really want Waluigi to get his own game or at least be the player 2 for a Wario game

saw this video on my feed, started watching and was surprised to see your sub count. you definitely deserve 10’s of thousands of subs.

I actually like the idea that Waluigi was a pro tennis player Wario hired to be his tennis partner for an unfair advantage and after that they just became friends, giving Waluigi an invite to all the Mario Party's. It would explain why he never shows up outside of the side games.

They gotta tap Good-Feel or WayForward to make a Wario Land game with Waluigi is a playable character. Or a 64 DS remake.

Alright idk who the fuck yellow toad is but blue toad is a G so

The name for Waluigi is a pun on warui (Japanese for bad/evil) and Luigi. Wario’s name also follows it alongside the upside down M

Gamers, he didn’t mention Taco Stand, what has the world come to
