Waluigi Warriors Unite: Fans Rally for the Game the Plumbers Forgot
Waaaaaaaahhhh!!!!

Nintendo, come, listen to me: we’ve already had a good laugh, but it’s time to fix an injustice that even you know is an injustice. We need to talk about someone you’ve deliberately ignored over the years, but who deserves his first solo game, even if it’s an indie. It’s been Mario’s year and Luigi’s year: it’s time for Waluigi to shine.
Waaaahh!
The year 2000 not only brought us a new millennium, but also a new character to join the Super Mario franchise and who came to fill a gap in ‘Mario Tennis’. Waluigi was not a sensation right off the bat, and in fact not even Nintendo itself is very clear who he is or where he comes from: in the American instruction manual they announced that he was Wario’s little brother, but not even Charles Martinet, voice of the character, knows if that’s true.
Since then everything has been laughs. He has had two tracks in ‘Mario Kart‘ (Waluigi Stadium on GameCube and the wonderful Waluigi Pinball on Nintendo DS), he was Mario’s enemy in ‘Dance Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix’… and not even for these did he get to be a selectable character in ‘Super Smash Bros Ultimate’ despite the general anger.
And the fact is that Waluigi started as a joke, ended up as an Internet meme and has now taken a 180-degree turn to be loved and respected by fans of the franchise. If Wario has had two chances (in ‘Wario Land’ and ‘Wario Ware’), why not try to give Waluigi his moment of glory? He’s cynical, he’s funny, he’s grotesque, he’s unique, the fans love him… What more do we need for him to replace Toad in the multiplayer of games like ‘Super Mario Bros Wonder’?
Or, why not, a ‘Waluigi Ware’. Or a ‘Ring fit adventure’ style exercise game. Or… The possibilities are endless! Of course, they’re not going to spend a fortune to make a ‘Super Waluigi Odyssey’, but the character deserves more love. Nintendo, get your act together. This is your chance to do justice to Wario’s supposed brother, who will be 25 years old in 2025. It’s his time. Just pray to Miyamoto.
