Ī September 2000 English edition of Nintendo Power introduces Waluigi and the online game Waluigi's Toenail Clipping Party: Aoki later revisited the "Wapeach" concept for Mario Power Tennis, only for his design to be rejected again due to a lack of characters to pair her with. A Wario version of Princess Daisy was suggested in turn, but was also turned down. ĭuring Waluigi's development, Camelot also had the proposition of designing a Wario version of Princess Peach, but this idea was dismissed by Nintendo for not being cute enough. According to Shugo Takahashi, Yoichi Kotabe put on the finishing touches for Waluigi's final design. 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. Between the development cast, names like "Jeroji", "Jinani", and "Waigi" popped up, until it was decided that the name would be "Waruiji", portmanteau of the words "Warui" and "Ruiji". Shigeru Miyamoto was consulted in order to help with the design. Then, designer Fumihide Aoki came up with the idea to make a rival for Luigi. 2.11.6 Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020Ī drawing of a hypothetical Waluigi from 1994 Mario & Wario comic.ĭuring the development of Mario Tennis, the game had many classic Super Mario characters, but few were humans, and Wario did not have a partner for doubles.2.11.5 Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.2.11.4 Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.2.11.3 Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.2.11.2 Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games.2.11.1 Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.2.6.8 Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.However, later sources have instead described them merely as partners, including the Mario & Sonic series containing several explicit statements that the two are unrelated. Waluigi was originally conceptualized as Wario's brother and referred to as such in some early material. His name is a portmanteau of the Japanese words warui, meaning "bad", and Ruīji, meaning "Luigi". He has been voiced by Charles Martinet ever since his debut. He makes an appearance as a playable character in all but one game in the Mario Tennis series. Waluigi made his debut in Mario Tennis, and since then, he has made playable appearances exclusively in the Super Mario franchise's spin-off titles. Waluigi is Luigi's lanky rival and Wario's partner. “You might be gettin' better, but nobody cheats better than me!
