Waluigi

Waluigi (ワルイージ, Waluigi) is an antagonistic character from the Mario series. ContentsOrigin[edit]Waluigi made his debut in Mario Tennis and has become a recurring character in later Mario spin-off games. He is a lanky man with a big, pink nose, a pointed mustache, pointed ears, and eyes surrounded by light blue rings. He wears dark indigo overalls, a purple undershirt, a purple cap with a yellow "Γ" gamma symbol, a pair of white gloves, and a pair of orange pointed shoes. In the Mario spin-off games, Waluigi is shown to have powerful legs, able to easily kick Bowser. Waluigi is Luigi's self-appointed rival and anti-hero counterpart, just as Wario is the rival of Mario. This rivalry began in the opening cutscene of Mario Tennis where Waluigi and Wario interrupt the final match between Mario and Luigi stating they want to play, but Luigi declines and mocks Waluigi, upsetting him. Like Wario, Waluigi is much raunchier than his counterparts, examples including his frequent use of roses, a universal symbol for romance, as well as his signature crotch chop in the Mario Strikers series. He is also very spiteful and vindictive, often joining Wario's pranks on others as a legitimate act of revenge. Oddly, despite appearing frequently as Wario's partner-in-crime in various Mario spin-off games, he has not physically appeared in a Wario game. Currently, his only appearance in a Wario game is if a Waluigi amiibo is scanned in Wario's amiibo Sketch in WarioWare Gold, in which Wario draws a poor quality picture of him. In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]Trophy[edit]The Waluigi trophy can be obtained through the Lottery once at least 250 other trophies have been collected. ![]() Waluigi's trophy in Melee
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]As an Assist Trophy[edit]Waluigi makes his debut as an Assist Trophy. He appears with brown shoes instead of his usual orange shoes, and is armed with his tennis racket from Mario Tennis. When summoned, Waluigi dashes at a random opponent on stage and stomps them into the ground (although he can stomp multiple opponents at once if others around are caught in the stomps). He stomps the victim(s) multiple times before unleashing a finishing blow with his tennis racket or a kick. His kicks meteor smash if the opponent is a little outside the stage. Unless he attacks constantly, his final attack has a pause which lasts about three seconds. He is relatively easy to avoid on the stage, as he can be avoided by simply jumping over him, and it can be quite easy to lure him off-stage; however, if opponents are careless, he can be quite deadly. As an alternate costume[edit]Waluigi's color scheme serves as Luigi's purple alternate costume. The "L" on his hat also changes to yellow. Trophy[edit]![]() Waluigi's trophy in Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]As an Assist Trophy[edit]![]() Waluigi attacking Luigi in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Waluigi returns as an Assist Trophy, reprising his behavior from Brawl. As an Assist Trophy, like most of the on-stage Assist Trophies that are invulnerable to attack, Waluigi can be attacked and KO'd. Similar to Mario and Luigi, his appearance is more cartoonish, with less detail on his clothing and lighter, more solid colors used all around. Notably, his shoes are now closer to the proper orange coloring, as opposed to the brown shoes in Brawl. As an alternate costume[edit]Waluigi's color scheme returns as Luigi's purple alternate costume, and serves as Mario's purple alternate costume. The "M" on his hat also changes to yellow. As a Mii Costume[edit]Waluigi serves as the basis for the default Waluigi's Cap headgear for the Mii Fighters. Trophy[edit]Waluigi appears as a trophy in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, it can be obtained by achieving a score of at least 85 in Rival Smash. ![]() Waluigi's trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS ![]() Waluigi's trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]As an Assist Trophy[edit]Waluigi returns as an Assist Trophy, reprising his behavior from Brawl and Super Smash Bros. 4. The Waluigi Assist Trophy can be attacked and KO'd, which earns the player an extra point. Training Mode describes his Assist Trophy: Stomps on nearby opponents and then launches them with a racket. He cannot be summoned in the 3D Land, Midgar, Mute City SNES, Norfair, Spirit Train, and Suzaku Castle stages. As an alternate costume[edit]Waluigi's color scheme returns as Mario and Luigi's purple alternate costume. As a costume[edit]Waluigi's Cap returns as a default headgear for the Mii Fighters. Spirits[edit]Waluigi also appears as an Ace-class primary spirit and is featured on the Standard Bike spirit, while Waluigi's Super Mario Strikers version appears as an Advanced-class primary spirit. Both Waluigi Spirit Battles use a Luigi puppet fighter. The Waluigi spirit is fought on the Peach's Castle stage. During the battle, Waluigi appears as a hostile Assist Trophy. Waluigi (Super Mario Strikers) is fought on the Wuhu Island stage's Swordplay Colosseum layout. During the battle, the Soccer Ball item will appear, referencing the sport this spirit is based on.
