Waluigi- The Story Behind Mario's Most Bizzare Character + How A Waluigi Game Could Work

In this video, we'll be taking a look at the history of Waluigi along with how a possible Waluigi game could actually work.

*Decided to fix a few issues from the previous video. Video glitches are now gone, and most importantly the infamous TOAD part has been toned down. I promise you guys, that will NEVER happen again lol.

Waluigi is my favorite Nintendo character. He deserves his own game AND to be playable in Smash.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again...

Waluigi...

Honestly I’d want a Waluigi game that takes a lot of inspiration from the Mario RPGs in terms of world building. I wouldn’t want to to be a platformer per se, just a story about a lanky, unusual guy finding some kind of notoriety in his world.

Here we go again. Demeech’s best video

[calebeedude]

when describing his attacks in the game, you have just created a smash moveset

I typed “waluigi” in the YT search and this was no. 2, i just wanna take this chance to express my absolute love for this character. He is widely unappreciated as a final puzzle piece to complete the Mario bro quadratic. And an avenue to express the personality of a “player 4” style player who doesn’t take the game too seriously but contrastingly gets highly competitive and aggravated by losing, due to the lack of his general inclusion. Such a perfect balance to the over heroic Mario or the generally uninterested Luigi and Wario’s greedy egotistical personality. An underdog character who doesn’t expect success but is willing to express his opinions about why he loses is a perfect counter. I love Waluigi. He needs his own game or at the very least a position as a playable smash bros character.

A branch from your Waluigi game idea could be that it constantly breaks the 4th wall. We get to know the tragic story that is that Nintendo never added Waluigi in any of their games, so Waluigi writes himself in, and that's the versions we all remember.

After analyzing Waluigi I tihnk he should star in some strategic open world game. Notice Wario, he is not opposite to Mario but his darker reflection; Mario collects coins for heroism, Wario collects coins for greed. Similarly, Luigi conquers his fear and lack of confidence for heroism, ergo Waluigi should do the same. Waluigi should have the condition psychiatrists call fear of success: chronic underperformance despite being inherently very talented, and he should have the ambition to always get recognition without having to work hard for it.
This also provides a meta reason why he's absent so much.

The same way Mario games are platofrmers reflecting into Wario Land games, Waluigi games should be like shoddily constructed, too huge Luigi's Mansion games resembling Bethesda properties and lampooning that kind of development ideal. To be constantly on the lookout for their purpose to even exist, as the opposite of thoughtfully constructed experience of a Luigi's Mansion game. This would also make sense for nintendo as a new style of game to release, like Splatoon made sense in exapnding into the FPS genre.
I would outsource Suda 51 to make a game like No More Heroes 1, but instead of fighting it would be about construction and some kind of environmental-based minigames in an open world, tonally similar to Katamari Damacy.

As a side note, it would fit well with Luigi's mansion paying homage to R&D2 team of nintendo and Gunpei Yokoi, where Warios and Waluigi's original inspiration also came from in Foreman Spike, as well as many Gameboy properties like Daisy that are my personal favourite nook of the Mario franchise, with their anarchistic style and arcadey feel.

Waluigi kinda gives me Wile E Coyote vibes, where he would try and do big things but always come up just short at the end because he tries to rush it or any other form of unfortunate things may become of it

[Shenron]

The reason Waluigi isn't a playable character in smash is because he's too OP

[goalieseth]

I wish we’d get a Mario & Luigi style RPG with Wario & Waluigi, lot of cool ways you could change the formula up with them

[BlueFire]

12:07 Okay I thought you were gonna say wake up in the morning feeling like P-Diddy for a minute lol

[sahyrofilms]

Tbh I wouldn't really say waluigi isn't a villain but just a little mischievous.

[genaralkenobi]

I think it would be cool if Waliugi was working with the villain in a luigis mansion game to only leave and work with Luigi because he’s more misjevios not villainous and then play as him

[DannyRFN]

Great video Demeech! Very well structured, delivered and executed! Amazing job!

[edgardeitz]

I agree with this video; Wario, Waluigi, Wapeach and Capt. Syrup should all figure into this new game idea...

[somerandomnesspoo]

I'd prefer he'd be a mid level villain in a Luigi game or player two in a Wario game.

[shellyvision]

6:07 Actually, that's a great idea! Instead of Metal characters, we can have a metal box item.

[switchnx]

Waluigi is 21 now. He can drink now. Neat.

[AndreBeverly]

Actually a New Mario Game that explores all the characters that are in the Mushroom Kingdom.Give him some character development and have him try to marry Daisy since he has a crush on her.Give Wario and Waluigi a stage and some more background to who they are.
