Waluigi

Waluigi is a character from the Mario series.
== Charactah Account ==
Waluigi is Luigi's lanky rival, and Wario's partner. Other than Wario, no one seems to like Waluigi at all. Waluigi is likely to come with a set of weird abilities that have no rhyme nor reason for their existence.
However, despite his overconfidence, Waluigi is also characterized by the great amount of self-pity he displays at other times. According to his voice actor Charles Martinet, Waluigi feels that good things are always happening to others and not to him, causing him great frustration. Martinet considers his self-pity to be "the cornerstone of Waluigi's character", such as how he constantly points out his own disadvantages and is quick to attribute his losses to his opponents cheating, while hypocritically taking pride in his own cheating. While Waluigi has many unsavoury characteristics and appears aggressive at times, Martinet has nevertheless stated that he prefers to play up Waluigi's more conceited and self-pitying traits, as he feels that direct hostility is unfitting for Mario villains.
As a comic relief character, he is often given comical and nonsensical animations, often displaying very poor sportsmanship, being quick to taunt his opponents and cheer for himself, while at the same time scowling in resentment for any progress made by his opponents. In Wario's Warehouse, Wario often portrays Waluigi as extremely stupid, often making idiotic and foolish decisions. However, this constrasts with most of his other descriptions which depict him as the more cunning of the two.

== Trivia ==
* According to the official guide to Mario Party 5 and Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Wario and Waluigi are not brothers however the Guide for Mario Kart Wii says otherwise. Additionally, the official websites for Mario Tennis and Mario Kart DS state that they're brothers however Waluigi's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee states that their relationship is unclear.
* Mario Tennis: Power Tour is the only game where Waluigi appears without Wario.
* Waluigi appears in every Mario Party game since Mario Party 3 as a playable character except Advance.
* In Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Mario is able to change his clothes into Waluigi's by wearing both the L Emblem and the W Emblem badges.
* In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, one of Luigi's costumes is based on Waluigi's outfit. Mario also has a Waluigi costume.
* After Mario Party 3, Waluigi has been an ally to Mario in every Mario Party game except Advance.
* Waluigi's trademark "Г" or upside L symbol, is the Cyrillic and Greek letter for G.
* Waluigi was featured as a recurring character in Wario's Warehouse, a series of articles on the Nintendo of Europe website dealing with various games on Nintendo platforms (not necessarily games with Nintendo characters).
* Waluigi was one of the Mario series characters to appear as spaces in the board game Nintendo Monopoly. Taking the place of Mediterranean Avenue, Waluigi was the least expensive character to purchase, and as such he was also one of the least profitable characters. The cost to purchase him was $60.
* Waluigi is the only human, commonly playable in spin-offs, who does not have an infant form.
* Despite being Wario's partner in many games, Waluigi has yet to make an actual appearance in the WarioWare series or any Wario titles.
* In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, some of the coin formations resemble the letter on Waluigi's cap; the "Γ". This is mostly noticeable in World 9-8.
* Waluigi was rumored to be a playable character in Super Mario 64 DS, due to a certain "Purple Prizes" sheet that was made as an April Fool's joke, stating that one must complete a certain task to unlock him. However this was proven false.
** But he may've also been planned for the game as there was an unused purple Rabbit initiating that he could have originally been in the game. This is one of many "examples" that have started rumors of him being in the game. The Purple Rabbit can also be seen in the game's instruction booklet.
* There are also rumors that he was in Mario Kart: Super Circuit but these were also proven false.
