I’ll be h♔onest, I didn’t know Waluigi was so popular. A lot of people were really upset about him being excluded from the new Super Smash Brothers! Sure, he’s a bizarre villainous character, but I kind of get why Nintendo didn’t think he was so significant.

At a standard glance, Waluigi seems to be the opposite of Waluigi. Introduced as a side-kick to Wario, one of Mario’s rivals. With his crooked🎐 mustache and angry sneer, he holds all the trademarks of a typical villain. He’s clearly wicked and the opposite of Luigi. But some fans of Nintendo feel he is a lot more than that. Some feel he represents a lot more than just Luigi or a villain to Mario. Some feel like he is a lot closer or a lot more distant to the other characters than the games want to tell us. Some think that the resistance to the character goes a lot deeper into Nintendo.

What’s pretty great about Waluigi is that he doesn’t play a big role in the Mario games. Nintendo doesn’t seem to want to confirm any of these fan theories or say a lot about them. But that’s a good thing- with none of these confirmed we can take whichever ones we like as true. It’s also pretty great that, if Waluigi is ಞan uninspired, unoriginal character from Nintendo, it’s awesome that fans want to fill in the gaps themselves. If Nintendo isn’t going to give us some backstory on Waluigi- let’s see what the fans have come up with!

25 ꦺ🔯 Waluigi Is Luigi’s Twin

We know that Wario and🦂 Waluigi are supposed to be the opposites of Mario and Luigi, but some fans think that they are cဣloser than that.

Some have noticed similarities to Luigi and Waluigi. They’re both tall, slim, and blue-eyed.

This doesn’t necessarily make them twins. Waluigꦜi is taller and they both have very different noses. But they do look a lot more similar than Wario does to Mario. Perhaps all four are related. But I don’t want to hear the sad story of how they all became rivals. Sometimes sibling rivalries go too far.

24 Waluigi Makes His Own Clothes 💞

A Tumblr user pointed out after Nintendo released high resolution renders of the charac𝄹ters clothes, that Mario and Luigi’s clothes are made from different materials than Wario and Waluigi’s. Mario and Luigi’s patches are sewn on their hats, while Wario and Waluigi’s are glued on and are slightly raised. Waluigi’s clothes look lower quality than the others. His “L” is stuck on u♏pside down! So maybe Waluigi makes his and Wario’s clothes but can’t spend as much time on his own.

23 Walu꧒igi Is Incredibly Rich

If Waluigi is making his own clothes out of felt and gluing🌼 things upside down to his hats, he probably isn’t incredibly rich, but perhaps he just doesn’t like to spend his money on clothes!

This theory comes from Waluigi being the opposite of Luigi.

Luigi owns an aging, run-down old mansion, filled with ghosts. So maybe Waluigi has a glamor🎃ous, beautiful, modern house. Presumably with no ghosts! Of course, another explanation could be that, as Luigi owns a huge mansion, Waluigi has a small apartment. But maybe it’s a really nice apartment!

22 Shigeru Miyamoto H♔ates Waluigi

Despite having a substantial fan base able to come up with funny fan theories and brilliant fan art, Waluigi has never appe൩ared in a main Mario game. He appears only as a partner for Wario in sports and racing. Some fans now believe that Miyamoto hates Waluigi and is jealous that he didn’t create such a successful character!

To make matters more in🅷teresting, Miyamoto has avoided discussing the matter. He has said that Daisy and Wario don’t appear in mini-games because they are illustrated differently. Apparently being different is too much!

21 Waluigi Is Relate🍸d To Daisy

I know, these guys don’t look much like one another. Or act like each ot🅺her. Or have anything in common. But come on, hear it me out!

This theory starts from Waluigi and Daisy being similarly ranked characters.

Daisy is just a partner for Peach and Waluigi is just a partner to Wario. They have the same reasons for their creations, so perhaps that means they are from the same fictional family line. They’re also both good at sports and have the same col💙or hair!

20 ꦉ Waluigi Is “Nabbit”

Nabbit is an annoying antagonist of New Super Mario Bros. U and a playable character in New Super Luigi U. He’s a bit creepy 𓆏looking and runs around robbing toad people’s houses. But we don’t know much about the character, other than that he’s creepy looking and annoying!

Some fans have theorized that he’s actually Waluigi since the two have a similar color scheme.

The Nabbit wears purple and Waluigi wears pﷺurple. I can’t support this theory too much, but if you believe it I can’t stop you!

19 Waluigi Is In Love With Daisy ✃

Maybe Waluigi is a relative of Daisy, or maybe he’s hiding secret feelings for her? Manyಌ fans have asked why Wario and Waluigi don’t have love interests. If nothing else there could be Peach or Daisy opposites to fight them, which could lead to a whole new game💮 series. But perhaps Waluigi would prefer Daisy as a love interest.

In the official Mario Party 4 Prima Guide, its mentioned that Waluigi has a crush on Daisy. She, however, doesn’t return his a🐲ffections. But that doesn’t stop some fans from shipping them together! Maybe in time, sh🐻e’ll come around.

18 ♚ 💯 Waluigi Is Representative Of The Reflection Of Man

It’s about time we got a little deep. It seems a little farfetched to look for deep philosophies, but that’s exactly what Frank Ribery proposes in Critical Perspe♎ctives on Waluigi.

“Waluigi’s identity only comes from what and who he isn’t – withouℱt a wider frame of reference, he is nothing. He is not his own man. In a world where our identities are shaped by our warped relationships to brands a𝓰nd commerce we are all Waluigi.”

Perhaps as a character developed to be a companion to one and a rival of another, we all know how it feels to be Waluigi. Are you sure you don’t want him in Smash Bros., Nintendo?

17 𒐪 Waluigi Is A Retired Dancer

Characters in Mario games can have rather random careers; as far as I know, Mario haꦐs never been called out to do any plumbing on the way to rescue Princess Peach. But what if Waluigi had a successful career as a dancer before committing to his villainous ways.

His reputation as a dancer comes from his long limbs and nimble movements.

His dancing skills come out during his golf celebrations and him being the central villain in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. As dancing careers are painfully short, it’s been sugg♓ested the Waluigi had a successful career as a dancer but has now retired.

16 🌠 Waluigi Is Luigi From The Future

We’ve already discussed how the two of tꦡhem look a little similar, even🔥 though there are some significant differences. But what if they are even closer than brothers?

Lots of terrible things have happened to the Mushroom Kingdom.

Despite Luigi being the cowardly brother, perhaps he volunteered to go back in time and sabotage Wario to save the Kingdom. Knowing he couldn’t be Luigi, he disguised himself as Waluigi. Since we’ve seen Baby Mario and Baby Luigi appear in the same games as normal Mario an💜d Luigi, it’s not beyond possibility that future Luigi could be appearing in games.
