Epic Waluigi: Kingdom Crisis

Epic Waluigi: Kingdom Crisis is an action-adventure/platformer game released for the Nintendo Switch. It is the first game in the Epic Waluigi series, and it is a cross between 3D platforiming and action-adventure. It has a chapter-based story structure similar to the Paper Mario games, with each chapter taking place in a different location.
==Story==
=== Backstory ===
Due to the events of Mario and Kirby: Star Rod Mayhem, Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser are absent from the Mushroom Kingdom for the time being. This allows Nario, the main villain of Epic Waluigi, to easily conquer both the Mushroom Kingdom and the Koopa Kingdom, which sends both kingdoms into chaos.
===Prologue: Peach's Grasslands===
Waluigi eventually wakes up. He finds himself sitting in the remains of his house, which has been destroyed. Somehow, though, Waluigi was not harmed. He gets up and explores for a bit, and finds a sword laying on the ground. He picks it up, and soon notices that all that he can see has fallen into an apocalyptic-like state, with a huge, dark cloud swirling above Peach's Castle. Waluigi decides to head to the castle wih his new weapon to try to make sense of the situation. This is the moment when the player gets control over Waluigi.
==Gameplay==
Epic Waluigi features gameplay that is a cross between 3D platforming, very similar to that of the 3D Mario games, and action-adventure combat. Each chapter differs in how open it is, but there is always a more or less set path the player must follow to progres through the game.  There are two set objectives in each chapter: Main Goal and Secondary Goal. The Main Goal is the eventual goal that you are working towards (Ex.: Reach Peach's Castle), while the Secondary Goal involves the short-term goal of each chapter (Ex.: Climb down the mountain).

Epic Waluigi supports two Joy-Cons, the Pro Controller, and Handheld Mode.
