▲'''Waluigi''' is [[Luigi]]'s mischievous counterpart and nemesis. He is [[Wario]]'s brother. Waluigi made his debut in ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' and since then he has made playable appearances in many of the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] spin-off titles. He has been voiced by [[Charles Martinet]] ever since his first appearance.
The details of Waluigi's past are unclear since he has no confirmed back story although, he has evidently been antagonizing the Mario Bros., especially [[Luigi]], for quite some time before his debut as seen in the opening of ''Mario Tennis'', where he and Luigi confront each other.
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
During the development of ''Mario Tennis'', the game had many classic ''Mario'' characters, but few were humans, and Wario did not have a partner for doubles. Then, designer Fumihide Aoki came up with the idea to make a rival for [[Luigi]]. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] was consulted in order to help with the design. Between the development cast, names like "Jeroji", "Jinani" and "Waiji" popped up, until it was decided that the name would be ''Waruiji'', portmanteau of the words "Warui" and "Ruiji". It was also decided that the character would be the extreme to Luigi´s height and lean body, just as [[Wario]] was the extreme to Mario´s round and short body.
During Waluigi´s development, there were propositions of creating a " Warupichi", which means "Wapeach" and possibly a "Warui" version of [[Princess Daisy]], but these ideas were dismissed by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]].

Waluigi later appears as a [[Sticker]], [[Trophy]], and an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He appears with a tennis racket in hand, which is a reference to his debut in ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]''. He kicks his chosen opponent into the ground. He then finishes up by kicking the victim with incredible power, possibly resulting in an instant KO. He may also hit the player with his tennis racket, instead of a power kick, basically giving the same results. This appearance depicts his color scheme slightly differently than his regular appearances; examples are his brown shoes instead of orange, and his black overalls instead of his overalls with very dark shade of purple. Also, one of Luigi's alternate outfits is Waluigi's outfit.

[[Image:MGWaluigi.PNG|thumb|120px|Waluigi is renowned for his poor putting ability.]]

====''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''====
[[Image:WalgolfTT.jpg|thumb|left|Wario and Waluigi celebrate in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'']]
In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', Wario and Waluigi see the Mario Bros. golfing with [[Princess Peach]] and [[Princess Daisy]]. Jealous of their good golfing, they challenge Yoshi and a [[Koopa Troopa]] to a game of golf. However, Wario ends up getting sand in Waluigi's face in a sand trap, and Waluigi cannot putt his ball into the hole, which causes their opponents to fall asleep. The duo then challenges [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]].
During this game, Wario hits the ball hard enough that it flies into the forest across the hole. Wario and Waluigi celebrate until they hear a loud roar. The two look up and see [[Bowser]] in his [[Koopa Clown Car]], and he has a black eye from where Wario's golf ball hit him. Bowser starts firing [[Bullet Bill]]s at the two until they escape via a yellow [[Warp Pipe]] that is too small for the Koopa Clown Car to fit through. Wario and Waluigi come out the other side of the pipe and stop to catch their breath, but Bowser catches up to them and prepares to throw a Bob-omb at them.
Line 83 ⟶ 80:
Waluigi is a default playable character in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''. His shot path is to the right while he can hit the maximum at 209 yards. He has slightly above average impact and spin with relatively average control. His shot height is medium.

Waluigi's [[Special Shot]] is the [[Twist Dunk]] which can be done if the player taps the letter "W" twice. Waluigi dribbles the ball in a W shape, and then shoots the ball at the basket with a cyclone flying behind it, and swims through the air to dunk it through the net.

After Waluigi scares away some [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Metal Sonic]] arrives and accidentally breaks the binoculars, and Waluigi challenges him to an event. Waluigi wins, and chases Metal Sonic when he tries to escape, eventually losing him but finding Wario, and the pair decide to find Metal Sonic and [[Dr. Eggman]] together. They succeed and defeat them in an event, and Waluigi distracts them while Wario breaks the [[Fog machine]], and the pair then try to get some compensation from Dr. Eggman. Waluigi and Wario later discover that they had been chasing a hologram of Dr. Eggman, and later appear to call Mario, Luigi, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] when they face Bowser and Dr. Eggman to support the Heroes and remind Dr. Eggman that they want some compensation, as well as later appearing at the opening ceremony. Waluigi also appears in the bonus episode [[Dr. Eggman's Robots]], where Dr. Eggman convinces him to compete in an event against Metal Sonic, which Waluigi loses.
