He is [[Wario]]'s partner and acts as a rival to [[Luigi]] in the same way that Wario does to [[Mario]]. He is easily the tallest of all the characters, despite being an extremely wiry fellow. Unlike Wario, he speaks in a whiny, nasally voice. |

− | + | Within the sports games, Wario and Waluigi commonly appear in cutscenes where they scheme against the other players. In ''[[Mario Tennis 64]]'', they watched the others start their tournament and barged in on a match between Mario and Luigi so they could settle their rivalries. However, they were then interrupted by Bowser's sudden arrival, who surprisingly eased their tension as he just wanted to play. | |
− | ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' featured Waluigi (and [[Daisy]]) as new characters to the series. In Story Mode, Waluigi stole the Mischief Star Stamp from the [[Millennium Star]] and offered to return it only if he were to be named the Superstar. After defeating [[Bowser]] in a fistfight, he then competed with three other players for the stamp on Waluigi's Island, an island that was overrun by [[Piranha Plants]] and filled with explosive traps. After losing, Waluigi fled while the winner received the Star Stamp. | + | ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' featured Waluigi (and [[Daisy]]) as new characters to the series.

They then attempt to show them up in a competition with [[Yoshi]] and a [[Koopa|Koopan Troopa]], only to wind up fleeing from an angry Bowser after their ball accidentally gave him a black eye, which ended in the three getting caught in a [[Bob-omb]] explosion. |
The two brothers made their an expansive appearance in the ''[[Mario Power Tennis|Power Tennis]]'' intro, where they were chased by police robots after being caught vandalizing images of Mario and Luigi on a scoreboard as retaliation for having lost to them in the first round of the tennis tournament. They wound up stumbling into Bowser's secret training facility, but instead of attacking them, he forced them to train hard. Afterwards, they took [[Donkey Kong]] and Daisy's place in the last round of the tournament against the Mario Bros., and instead of actually playing, they launched Bob-ombs from a tennis ball launcher-like device while Bowser aided them from his miniature airship. The scheme fell apart when the Mario Bros. and later all of the players in the audience deflected the Bob-ombs with their tennis rackets, and all three wound up being caught in an explosion again. | The two brothers made their an expansive appearance in the ''[[Mario Power Tennis|Power Tennis]]'' intro, where they were chased by police robots after being caught vandalizing images of Mario and Luigi on a scoreboard as retaliation for having lost to them in the first round of the tennis tournament.

In the ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' intro, Waluigi was on Wario's team with Donkey Kong playing against Mario's team, and despite a strong showing they ultimately lose. In the Challenge Mode of ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', Waluigi was found on a rooftop in Wario City guarding a treasure chest that he claimed on his own. If spoken to with Wario, he would challenge this claim and after losing a baseball match he would be recruited into the baseball team. Wario and Waluigi also had a role in the ending movie where they, in the manner of the previous intro movies, attempted to sabotage the fireworks ceremony by replacing one of the bob-ombs Mario was supposed to knock into the sky with his bat with a Bullet Bill (which presumably his bat was too weak to deflect), but Bowser leaped in at the last minute to send it back to the brothers. Instead of being hit by the bullet, Wario and Waluigi were caught on its arms, which carried them into the sky before exploding and dropping them. | In the ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' intro, Waluigi was on Wario's team with Donkey Kong playing against Mario's team, and despite a strong showing they ultimately lose.
