− | + | Making his debut in a sports game, 'Mario Tennis 64', Waluigi is to Luigi what Wario is to Mario. Despite criticism as being a shallow character, Waluigi has firmly established himself as a major character among the lineup of Mario characters. He's easily the tallest of all the characters, despite being an extremely wiry fellow. Unlike Wario, he speaks in a whiny, nasally voice. | |

− | + | Like Wario does with Mario, he takes on many of Luigi's attributes. From what we know of Luigi and Wario, it is possible to discern Waluigi's personality. | |

− | + | From Wario, we can easily expect Waluigi to be greedy, selfish, and have generally bad hygiene. The 'Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour' intro provides some great characterization in which we see him (and Wario) actively trying to beat and humiliate other golf players. He also shows rivalry (and possibly jealousy and hate) for Luigi as well. | |
− | + | From Luigi, we can expect him to have considerable skills in jumping, technology, but be a bit clumsy. And while Luigi is constantly portrayed as an unknown character, it's quite likely in the Mushroom Kingdom that Waluigi is a good deal less famous than Wario. | |

− | + | 'Mario Party 3' features Waluigi (and Daisy) as new characters to the series. In Story Mode, a player will ultimately face Waluigi on the board known as Waluigi's Island, an otherwise pleasant island that has been overrun by Piranha Plants. As it turns out, this island originally belonged to Luigi, but Waluigi destroyed it in his hatred of the younger Mario Bro. | |
− | + | In "Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix", Waluigi steals the stage as the villain who breaks into Truffle Towers and scatters the Music Keys, keeping the blue key for himself. While he had planned to wait for the rhythm of the Mushroom Kingdom to fade and then make himself a dancing star, he is beaten in a dance contest and grudgingly surrenders the key to Mario. | |

− | * | + | * In Japanese, the word 'warui' means bad... In Japan, 'L' and 'R' are interchangeable, making 'waruigi' and 'warui' rather similar. |
− | * | + | * The upside-down 'L' on Waluigi's hat is probably meaningless, but it could either be a lower case r or the greek letter 'gamma'. |
− | * | + | * In Paper Mario: TTYD, you can get a L Emblem badge and W Emblem badge to change your colors to a Luigi or Wario color scheme respectively. Wearing both will give you a Waluigi color scheme. |
