I always found it kinda strange he was so obsessed with Luigi in particular (other than the fact that Wario has Mario so he needed a different persona) but the part about Luigi being in the shadows himself really made me realize just how fitting the one sided “rivalry” really is
Admittedly, I kinda feel bad for Waluigi. Yes, he is a jerk and a cheater, who doesn't get along with many people. But the guy is consumed by self-pity and obsession over someone who doesn't even see him the same way. I agree that it's sad he can't even enjoy a victory without trying to upset his so-called rival.
Very interesting revelations! Honestly makes a lot of sense given his nature of showing up only in spin offs. He's just some guy, and the only chance he gets to prove himself are during sports events and parties. He's otherwise off training. That being said.. if Nintendo ever did cave to the fans and allow Waluigi to appear in more games like Warioware or platformers, with this knowledge in mind it would actually be a very interesting situation for the character. Waluigi would finally be able to try and be a star like he's always dreamed of doing in a more legitimate adventure, or become a bigger part of Wario's life. Would he fumble it and ruin everything for himself? Or would he have more friendly moments like Bowser Jr. has in recent years? It actually would be pretty cool to explore where that would go.
Waluigi secretly being the deepest character in the Mario franchise? Tell me something new! Now, seriously speaking, that was a great video. Knowing all of that information about Waluigi somehow made want a Waluigi centric game EVEN MORE.
Admittedly, it'd be interesting to see what his band of misfits counterpart to the WarioWare employees would be like, like people who look far more fantastical than Waluigi but don't actually have any superpowers.
How the actual hell dosnet this have more views??? It was informative and the pacing of facts was perfectly stellar. I swear this should have at least 30k views youtube fix your website
Great video as always Sean! Please keep these lore videos coming! Just like Daisy being in Wonder, I'd like to see Waluigi become a playable character in a possible new Wario Land game!
@@seandwalsh3 I can see what you mean yeah. They could have him tag along with Wario just for the fun of it, or may to get attention. I just think it would be cool to have him in a platformer game.
@@seandwalsh3it's insane just how well Mario fans are eating this year, win after win after win. 3 banger Directs in a row, we haven't had Directs like these in a long while, so happy we're getting so much Mario stuff it's crazy!

Well of course they never explained his origins. He's a filler character who only exists so Wario would have a partner in Mario Tennis 64 and he only appears in sports titles
FFS, Wario and Waluigi should be related as brothers. And even if they like the total opposite of Mario and Luigi in terms of brotherhood? So what? It's like being bad brothers are not existing, because being a brother of someone must have a positive outcome. Sure, it's better to have a nice bond with your siblings, but sadly, there are occasions, where the siblings doesn't get along each other.
This is an enjoyable video by you, Walsh. Glad to see you'll be making more content like this. It's motivating me to make my own Mario Video that I have cooking up. But I do have a nitpick; You say that Waluigi was able to defeat Bowser in single combat, and that is something Mario has not been able to do, which I disagree to. Mario took on Bowser solo and could knock him out in Superstar Saga, and did it again in Bowser's Inside Story (albeit he was weakened by Peach and Starlow at that time). He also had the ability to take on (with Luigi) Dreamy Bowser, a bowser amped by the Dream Stone, the holder of the dreams of many beings. But otherwise, a very informed and well thought out video!
Thanks! Mario knocked Bowser down in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, but Bowser instantly got back up and called off the fight. He wasn’t defeated, unlike the fight with Waluigi. Mario cannot beat Bowser on his own in hand to hand combat. Bowser is significantly stronger. That’s why Mario uses his smarts, surroundings and items to defeat Bowser in every case.
Waluigi is an sports addict, wrecking expert ( Spike the father? ), schemer, thief, charming dancer. What a guy! Waait... its not Waluigis creator: Fumihide Aoki that says hes not related to Wario! So not valid for me. Its the Tennis/ Golf game producer Shugo.. In recent years its STILL unclear. So Fumi might have had the idea himself and had Shugo mention it in that 2008 interview or Shugo ignored a different opinion of Fumi. Waluigi and Wario is Imho brothers if not cousins. And Spike could be very likely Waluigis father. Possibly Warios too but different mothers. As babies. Wario is older so got to be star chosen. Or that Waluigi wasnt in the house at the time.
I would say so, but it doesn’t have too much depth about who Wario actually is. It’s quite surface level and more serves to convince people to play Wario’s games and begin to think more deeply about the character. I enjoyed it!
I apologize for the last comment, I meant to comment on another video, anyways may I ask what editing software u use to edit ur videos? I really like your Mario lore videos!
I been telling clowns for years waluigi not related to Wario nor or they friends. That and the fact he not made by Nintendo. He just a attention seeking filler character made for spinoff.
It would be nice if Waluigi did appear in the super Mario series, and warioware. It would make things interesting especially for Warioware. Good video by the way.
@@bighand1530 The only reason Waluigi was created is because Wario needed a partner in the sports games, thats it. He's not likely to evolve past that.
@@bighand1530 Personality and gameplay potential are two different things. Nintendo only creates characters for GAMEPLAY reasons. If Nintendo can't find a gameplay that only fits Waluigi, then Nintendo won't do it. Except for Dance Mix Revolution he was great there.
You know, I think Waluigi will be better off being in one of the mainline Mario games where he appears either as a villain or protagonist villain in his own centric game.
@@seandwalsh3 I see. I believe that might explain why Waluigi is not playable in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and was instead as an Assist Trophy for the third time? But hey, according to Nintendo of America's former president Reggie Fils-Aime, it's Sakurai's call whether Waluigi will be a playable fighter or not. Although, great video!😀
@@richiecampbell605 The only reason Waluigi was created is because Wario needed a partner in the sports games, thats it. He's not likely to evolve past that.
Admittedly, especially after the princesses' models on Mario Golf Super Rush, I feel like the most likely case would be like some beach volleyball game. Waluigi seems to have a love of limelight and an attempted romantic persona with his signature roses, so surrounding himself with wacky yet beautiful women in a sport seems naturally up his alley. But it probably would be more likely he gets some playformer that emphasizes unique skills rather than platforming prowess akin to Sly Cooper.

@seandwalsh3 It a spinoff game it not Canon to the mainline games.
@INFERNO95 spin-offs are canon, obviously. Waluigi is also mentioned in Super Mario Odyssey regardless.
@@INFERNO95 They are very much canon to the Mario Series, as said by Miyamoto himself.
Where does Princess Peach: Showtime! follow up in your timeline?
Waluigi is an sports addict, wrecking expert ( Spike the father? ), schemer, thief, charming dancer. What a guy! Waait... its not Waluigis creator: Fumihide Aoki that says hes not related to Wario!

Both Shugo and Fumihide have stated Waluigi and Wario are not related. Foreman Spike is not related to either of them either.
Mario and Luigi are twin brothers though.
Besides that, I love that someone chose to cover sexy Waluigi
Where have you been?
Was Schaffrillas Wario Analysis accurate?

He was partially made by Nintendo. Miyamoto and Kotabe were directly involved with his design.
@seandwalsh3 Nope. And Wario is more of enemy to mario then a rival. There a difference between the two.
@@INFERNO95 you’re wrong on both fronts.
