Waluigi: Extravagant Espionage

Waluigi: Extravagant Espionage is a 2020 Nintendo Switch game and a brand-new spinoff of the Super Mario franchise, published by Nintendo and developed by Intelligent Systems. It is also the first game out of the entire Mario universe to feature the character Waluigi as a main character, who was decided to star in his own game due to fan demand to see more of the character in new lights.

He is also in a feud with his brother, Wario, after he was ignored to be called up to make games for his brother's microgame tournament. Being rejected for the last possible option of getting money, Waluigi knows that he won't be able to pay rent, so he turns his trailer into a defensive fortress for his final stand against the park landlord. Much to his surprise, however, a team of Special Ops soldiers arrive, and Waluigi attempts to escape the park knowing he is outmatched. Waluigi is caught and taken into custody.
After having a bag placed over his head, Waluigi is transported to the secret base of his captors, who reveal themselves as the Armed Elite Operating Network (AEON), who have taken Waluigi to their base because he has been recruited to infiltrate the
