Waluigi (trophy)

Waluigi, as he appears in promotional art for Mario Party 7.

Waluigi (ワルイージ, Waruīji?) has so far only appeared in spin-off and party games, as opposed to the main platformer titles, save for a few negligible cameos. He is Luigi's evil rival, in the same way that Wario is Mario's evil rival. 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, while his Γ symbol is yellow. He is believed to be Wario's younger brother (although this is unconfirmed) as well as one of his many friends. Waluigi was created by Camelot's Fumihide Aoki and is voiced by Charles Martinet.

The name "Waluigi" is a portmanteau of "Luigi" and the Japanese adjective warui (悪い, warui?) meaning "bad"; hence, "bad Luigi". [1]

Waluigi's first appearance was in the Mario Tennis games for the Game Boy Color and Nintendo 64, as Wario's doubles partner, and then in 2005 on Mario Tennis: Power Tour for the Game Boy Advance. Later, along with Princess Daisy, he joined the Mario Party series's roster in Mario Party 3 and has been a playable character in every main entry in the series since. He's since also appeared various other sports games. He has only played a significant role in the plot of three games. He plays a minor antagonistic role in Mario Party 3, an antagonist in Mario Power Tennis, and a primary villain in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. Waluigi most recently appears in Mario Strikers Charged, Itadaki Street DS and Mario Party 8. He also appears in Mario Kart DS, as an unlockable character.

It's unknopwn if Waluigi is going to be in Super Smash Bros Brawl.
