==Trivia==
*During the development of the game, along with the introduction of Waluigi, the developers were also going to introduce a bad version of Princess Peach named WaruPichi, but this character was scrapped due to Shigeru Miyamoto's disliking of the idea of having an "evil Peach" and have decided to revive Princess Daisy instead, who hadn't appeared since the 1993 Super Mario Bros. film (Super Mario Land if referring to the games alone).
