Waluigi's Real-Life History
Waluigi made his first appearance in the 2000 game Mario Tennis
- Since then, he has appeared in several games featuring Mario and Luigi, usually alongside his partner Wario.
Developers conceived Waluigi as an exaggerated and evil version of Luigi, emphasizing luigi's lankiness to an extreme degree
Names like "Jeroji," "Jinani," and "Waigi" were considered before developers decided on Waluigi, which essentially translates to "bad Luigi."
In his 18 years as a character, Waluigi has gained a cult following due to his general lack of clear motives for his evil, and his absurd appearance.
