    Fun Fact: The song playing during BDG's emotional self-discovery, "vesti la giubba", translates roughly to "put on the costume", and reflects the sentiment of the "tragic clown", smiling on the outside, but crying on the inside. Fitting for the events.

    One thing not noted: Waluigi often uses roses and dance-like flair in his physicality, suggesting a romantic personality and unbridled confidence that serve to effectively counter Luigi’s... what some would call humbleness, and others would call honesty.

    "Waluigi is the ultimate example of the individual shaped by the signifier. Waluigi is a man seen only in mirror images; lost in a hall of mirrors he is a reflection of a reflection of a reflection. You start with Mario - the wholesome all Italian plumbing superman, you reflect him to create Luigi - the same thing but slightly less. You invert Mario to create Wario - Mario turned septic and libertarian - then you reflect the inversion in the reflection: you create a being who can only exist in reference to others. Waluigi is the true nowhere man, without the other characters he reflects, inverts and parodies he has no reason to exist. Waluigi’s identity only comes from what and who he isn’t - without a wider frame of reference he is nothing. He is not his own man. In a world where our identities are shaped by our warped relationships to brands and commerce we are all Waluigi." - I, We, Waluigi: a Post-Modern analysis of Waluigi by Franck Ribery

      The more you fixate on Luigi (positively or negatively) the closer you get to becoming him. When you stare in the mirror, your reflection cannot help but stare back. Only by leaving the your fixation on Luigi, by being your own person unrestrained by your counterpart, can you remain a true Waluigi.

Then at the end of the game everyone comes back never having noticed waluigi wasn't there and he gets no credit.

    What I love about this is how much sense it makes. In jaleousy of his brother, Luigi went so far as to invent an alter ego for himself, because Mario had Wario. He tried to give it traits that he thought were opposite to his, but ended up spilling his ambitions and desires into Waluigi's personality; he made him a cheater, because he considers himself to be righteous, but also made him skilled and hard-working, reflecting just how low his self-esteem is. The biggest tragedy, in all this, is that while trying to become more relevant by creating a rival for himself, Luigi created an *even more popular character* than he could ever be. This is why he is "not afraid"... He is only bitter, and as his eyes lay upon the creation that outgrew him, he can only think of his own weaknesses, as even his desperate attempt to be in the spotlight resulted in a failure; much like Frankenstein, Luigi is doomed to see his creation destroy his life.

    This video has retroactively been improved by contrapoints discussing black swan and spongebob through the philosophy of neiztche, as we learn the conflict between the appollonian and dionysian emerges within the soul of Luigi, a purple man resentful of the generosity bestowed on the coward Luigi, and a green man green with envy of the uninhibited passion and diligence in articulated mischief, the controlled chaos of Waluigi. This piece takes it a final step, to show us that while each could be happier if they restrained themselves from looking enviously at what the other is and has, this envy partly fuels the subject of envy, the antagonism bringing out the best tennis each can produce. Its 4am.

      A common take is that Brian is the best thing on Polygon. I say it's both: Polygon makes Brian better, and Brian makes Polygon better. They found each other and are better together.

      Daniel D'Angelo: In the opera Pagliacci, Canio makes his living as Pagliaccio the clown. At the end of the first act he discovers his wife Nedda is cheating on him (just before his next performance) and he sings the "Vesti la giubba" ("Put on the costume") aria you hear, the idea being him having to hide his grief in order to play a comedic role.

    A Waluigi mystery game is actually a really cool idea. I remember a while back seeing fan art of Waluigi as a noir detective solving mysteries with his Toadette assistant and that always seemed like a cool idea. It would make for a unique Mario spinoff and would better define Waluigi the same way Luigi’s Mansion defined Luigi.
