![]() Ultimate and spread memes, videos, artwork, and petitions to get Sakurai to make Waluigi playable even The Washington Post noted the outpouring of support for Waluigi by making a post about him being "robbed and humiliated by Nintendo", likely as a jab at him being knocked out seconds after being seen. ![]() The Waluigi fanbase was most vocal after developer Masahiro Sakurai revealed that Waluigi would be reprising his role as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Waluigi is one of the most consistently requested characters to be made playable in Smash, and has a large, vocal fanbase that clamors for his inclusion as a playable character instead of an Assist Trophy, citing his frequent appearance in Mario spin-offs and unique, colorful personality and aesthetic.Brawl, if Waluigi doesn't reach the ground while stomping in the air, he will repeat the animation (it doesn't have a hitbox, and he doesn't make any noise while doing it either). Waluigi was also used to demonstrate players being able to KO Assist Trophies in Ultimate. Waluigi has been used to introduce a section of a Nintendo Direct discussing Assist Trophies, as shown in the April 2014 Direct regarding SSB4 where Sakurai starts the Assist Trophies section by explaining what they do with a Waluigi plush next to him.This is fixed in Ultimate, where his mouth is opened while laughing. This is strange, considering how in Brawl, his mouth is open while laughing. In the final game, however, his mouth is always closed, even when he is laughing. In that same Direct, when Waluigi is laughing, his mouth is open.This change was not carried over to the final version of the game. Direct, Waluigi was shown to be representing the Wario universe as opposed to the Mario universe. Waluigi getting hit and K.O'd by Marth in Super Smash Bros. Currently, his only appearance in a Wario game is if a Waluigi amiibo is scanned in Wario's amiibo Sketch in WarioWare Gold, in which Wario draws a poor quality picture of him. ![]() Oddly, despite appearing frequently as Wario's partner-in-crime in various Mario spin-off games, he has not physically appeared in a Wario game. He is also very spiteful and vindictive, often joining Wario's pranks on others as a legitimate act of revenge. 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. This rivalry began in the opening cutscene of Mario Tennis where Waluigi and Wario interrupt the final match between Mario and Luigi stating they want to play, but Luigi declines and mocks Waluigi, upsetting him. ![]() Waluigi is Luigi's self-appointed rival and anti-hero counterpart, just as Wario is the rival of Mario. In the Mario spin-off games, Waluigi is shown to have powerful legs, able to easily kick Bowser. He wears dark indigo overalls, a purple undershirt, a purple cap with a yellow "Γ" gamma symbol, a pair of white gloves, and a pair of orange pointed shoes. He is a lanky man with a big, pink nose, a pointed mustache, pointed ears, and eyes surrounded by light blue rings. Waluigi made his debut in Mario Tennis and has become a recurring character in later Mario spin-off games. The racket seen in the image is the same one used by Waluigi in Brawl, Smash 4 and Ultimate.
