() is a fictional character in the ''Mario'' franchise. He plays the role of Luigi's rival and nemesis and accompanies Wario in spin-offs from the main ''Mario'' series, often for the sake of causing mischief. He was created by Camelot employee Fumihide Aoki and is voiced by Charles Martinet, who described Waluigi as someone who has a lot of self-pity and would "cheat to win". Waluigi debuted in the game ''Mario Tennis'' as Luigi's rival and Wario's partner. Since then, he would remain a playable character in the main ''Mario'' series spin-offs, occasionally causing comedic mischief alongside Wario or antagonizing the rest of the characters, primarily Mario and Luigi. Since his debut, Waluigi has received mixed reception from fans and critics alike. ==Creation and characteristics== Waluigi was created during the development of the game ''Mario Tennis'', as the bitter rival to Luigi. He was created by Fumihide Aoki and is voiced by Charles Martinet. His name is a portmanteau of Luigi's name and the Japanese adjective ''warui'' (悪い) meaning "bad"; hence, a "bad Luigi". Early statements describe Waluigi as "Wario's brains". He is said to be a mischievous, cunning man who dislikes the happiness of other characters. Martinet stated that the cornerstone of Waluigi's personality is one of self-pity, a character who feels that everything goes right for everyone but himself. As displayed in ''Mario Power Tennis'' and ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'', Waluigi features the ability to summon a body of water and swim towards each game's respective ball, which IGN editor Rob Burman describes as baffling. He is the same age as Luigi,〔Waluigi's trophy description ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', HAL Laboratory, Nintendo GameCube, 2001〕 and wears black overalls, a dark purple long-sleeved shirt, a dark purple hat with a yellow "Γ" symbol (an inverted L, or a capital Greek letter Gamma, paralleling Wario's W as an upside-down M), and white gloves with a yellow "Γ" symbol as well. When asked whether Waluigi was a brother to Wario, Martinet stated that while he did not know, he felt that they were just "two nice, evil guys who found each other." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waluigi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
