He's lean, he's mean, he hates the color green! Yes, with hopes of finally overthrowing Mario's supreme reign as the video game king, Wario has enlisted the help of Waluigi. Ī September 2000 English edition of Nintendo Power introduces Waluigi and the fake online game Waluigi's Toenail Clipping Party: ĭuring Waluigi's development, there were propositions of creating a 'Warupichi', which means 'Wapeach' and possibly a 'Warui' version of Princess Daisy, but these ideas were dismissed by Shigeru Miyamoto. According to Shugo Takahashi, Yoichi Kotabe put on the finishing touches for Waluigi's final design. It was also decided that the character would be the extreme to Luigi's height and lean body, just as Wario was the extreme to Mario's round and short body.

Between the development cast, names like 'Jeroji', 'Jinani', and 'Waigi' popped up, until it was decided that the name would be 'Waruiji', portmanteau of the words 'Warui' and 'Ruiji'. Shigeru Miyamoto was consulted in order to help with the design. Then, designer Fumihide Aoki came up with the idea to make a rival for Luigi.
