Waluigi

Waluigi (ワルイージ, Waluigi) is an antagonistic character from the Mario series. He is Luigi's self-appointed rival and anti-hero counterpart, just as Wario is the rival of Mario. Despite his connections to Wario, he is considered to be part of the Mario universe in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. 4, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. ContentsOrigin[edit]Waluigi made his first appearance in Mario Tennis and like Princess Daisy, he has appeared in nearly every Mario spin-off since serving as Wario's partner-in-crime and best friend (although oddly, he has never appeared in a Wario game). He is Luigi's "evil" rival, in the same way that Wario is Mario's. Along with this, Waluigi has a hat and gloves with a "Γ" gamma symbol, which is similar to Wario's "W", which is also an inverse or an upside-down "M". Unlike Luigi's green hat and shirt, Waluigi has a purple shirt and hat with black overalls and orange elf-like shoes, while his Γ symbol is yellow. Waluigi was created by Camelot's Fumihide Aoki and is voiced by Charles Martinet, like Wario and both Mario Bros. Being the opposite of Luigi, Waluigi is mischievous and cunning,[1] with Charles Martinet claiming that he directs his lines as a frustrated, self-pitying soul that believes the world is out to get him.[2] 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. In Brawl, SSB4, and Ultimate, Waluigi appears as an Assist Trophy wielding his tennis racket, which is a reference to his first appearance in Mario Tennis. He will try to stomp players into the ground; however, Waluigi has never done this in any other game, though several games such as Mario Party 3 have shown that he has very powerful legs (in the aforementioned game, he knocks out the usually highly durable Bowser with a single kick). His finishing move either involves kicking the player or hitting the player with his tennis racket. His appearance has slightly changed in Brawl, as Waluigi has orange shoes in the Mario games, not brown; although his orange shoes were retained in SSB4 and Ultimate. The tennis racket he is holding has retained its design from Mario Tennis. In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]Trophy[edit]Waluigi appears as a trophy in Melee, which can be unlocked through the Lottery once at least 250 other trophies have been collected.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]As an Assist Trophy[edit]Waluigi makes his debut as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He has brown shoes (similar to Mario and Luigi's) instead of his usual orange shoes. When summoned, he 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 3 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. He is voiced by Charles Martinet, who also voices Mario, Luigi and Wario. As a color change[edit]Luigi possesses a black and purple color swap which gives him a similar appearance to Waluigi. The L on his hat also changes to yellow in Brawl, just like Waluigi's inverted L, but its orientation is not flipped. Trophy[edit]Waluigi appears as a randomly collectible trophy:

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 in Super Smash Bros. 4. He behaves the same as in Brawl, albeit he can be defeated if he takes enough damage, with him having his own KO animation. Just like Mario and Luigi, his appearance is more cartoonish, with less detail on his clothing and lighter, more solid colors used all around. Of particular note are his shoes, which are now closer to the proper orange coloring, as opposed to the brown shoes in Brawl. As a color change[edit]Luigi retains his Waluigi-inspired palette swap, albeit now with a purple L instead of yellow. Mario also gains a Waluigi-inspired costume, with the M on his hat becoming yellow. As a costume[edit]Waluigi's Cap is an unlockable hat for all Mii Fighter types. Trophy[edit]Waluigi appears as a challenge reward trophy, unlocked by achieving a score of at least 85 in Rival Smash:
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]As an Assist Trophy[edit]Waluigi reprises his role as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He behaves the same way he does in previous games, although he stays on stage much longer than in Brawl and SSB4 and can now be launched and reward a point if KO'd. Like Mario and Luigi, his hair and clothing now feature simple detailing, similar to Brawl, though his shoes keep their orange color like they were in SSB4. Training Mode describes his Assist Trophy: Stomps on nearby opponents and then launches them with a racket. Waluigi can't appear in the following stages: 3D Land, Midgar, Mute City SNES, Norfair, Spirit Train, and Suzaku Castle. As a color change[edit]Mario and Luigi retain their Waluigi-inspired costumes in this game, unchanged from SSB4. As a costume[edit]Waluigi's Cap returns as an unlockable hat for all Mii Fighter types. 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. The Waluigi and Waluigi (Super Mario Strikers) spirit battles both 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 game of soccer in Super Mario Strikers, which features Waluigi as a playable character. Primary spirits[edit]
