Waluigi is Luigi's lanky rival and Wario's partner. Waluigi made his debut in Mario Tennis, and since then, he has made playable appearances exclusively in the Super Mario franchise's ensemble spin-off titles. He makes an appearance as a playable character in all but one game in the 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".
Waluigi was originally conceptualized as Wario's brother and referred to as such in some early material. However, later sources have instead described them merely as partners, including the Mario & Sonic series containing several explicit statements that the two are unrelated.
