In the Mario Kart series, Waluigi has had two racetracks named after himself. This is his only appearance in a game where Wario does not appear. In the Game Boy Advance version of Mario Tennis: Power Tour, Waluigi appears as a playable character while Wario does not. Waluigi then challenges the player to fight him for the Star Stamp on his own board, Waluigi's Island. Bowser and Waluigi fights and Waluigi emerges victorious. However, while the player and Bowser were distracted by each other, Waluigi steals the Star Stamp. In Mario Party 3, after the player has gotten all but one Star Stamp, Bowser challenges the player to fight him over the final Star Stamp, the Mischief Star Stamp. Although he was the main villain, he doesn't appear again after the player defeats him. He did this so he would be able hypnotizes people with his moves, spread chaos and, eventually, take over the world. In the game, he takes over Truffle Towers and spreads the four music keys across the world so he could become the best dancer in the world. In Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, Waluigi was the main villain of story mode and the first boss. Although he, for the most part, has just been a playable character with no special role, he has had some more prominent appearances throughout the years. Since his debut, Waluigi has appeared in over 40 games (mainly spin-offs), including Mario Kart, Mario Tennis, Mario Party and Super Smash Bros.
Waluigi's japanese name (ワルイージ, Waruīji) is also an anagram of ijiwaru, which in japanese can mean several things, such as mean-spirited, mean, nasty, vicious, cruel and ill-tempered. He was designed to be the Luigi's rival in the way that Wario is to Mario, with exaggerated physical traits.Ĭontrary to most people's belief that his name is just a poor offshoot from his partner in crime, Wario, his name actually comes from a pun based on "Warui", the Japanese word for Bad, and "Ruigi", since Japan substitutes the letter L for R, which makes his name literally "Bad Luigi". He was created by Fumihide Aoki, with Shigeru Miyamoto being consulted with the design, because there were very few human characters in the series, and Wario needed a tennis partner for Doubles. Waluigi's first appearance in the Mario franchise was in the Nintendo 64 game Mario Tennis, released in 2000.
