In an interview with <i><a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Dream" class="mw-redirect" title="Nintendo Dream">Nintendo Dream</a></i>, Shugo Takahashi said that he initially asked Nintendo to create a new character but was given instruction to develop a character at <a href="/wiki/Camelot_Software_Planning" title="Camelot Software Planning">Camelot</a>. The character's name was agreed from the beginning before his design was finalised. Initially the idea was to change one letter to make him similar to Wario, but Takahashi said that as a bad version of Luigi, he was named Waluigi. An early idea for the symbol on Waluigi's hat was a W, but as this was the same as Wario, it was changed to the letters W and L. <a href="/wiki/Y%C5%8Dichi_Kotabe" title="Yōichi Kotabe">Yōichi Kotabe</a>, who supervised the character at Nintendo, decided that this should be an upside down L as an inversion of Luigi, just as the letter W in Wario is an upside down letter M for Mario. Waluigi's appearance was designed to be lean to create a balanced team combination with the stoutness of Wario. Camelot took inspiration from Boyacky and Tonzura from the Doronbo Gang in the <i><a href="/wiki/Yatterman" title="Yatterman">Yatterman</a></i> series. His purple colouring was chosen to create a balance of colours alongside those of the other characters in the game and his moustache created in the shape of the letter L. Takahashi said that Waluigi was characterised as the rival of Luigi, with them having a similar relationship to Mario and Wario.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Upon his debut in <i>Mario Tennis</i>, Waluigi was voiced by <a href="/wiki/Charles_Martinet" title="Charles Martinet">Charles Martinet</a>, who continued to voice the character until stepping back from recording character voices in 2023 to take on a new role as Mario Ambassador at Nintendo.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Waluigi's appearance in <i><a href="/wiki/Super_Mario_Strikers" title="Super Mario Strikers">Super Mario Strikers</a></i> gained attention for a celebratory taunt that became known as the "Crotch chop". The taunt involves the character thrusting his hips forward while gesturing towards his crotch. Despite looking like the letter V, Waluigi's chop using both hands was supposed to represent the W in his name. The game's director, Mike Inglehart, said that the development team at <a href="/wiki/Next_Level_Games" title="Next Level Games">Next Level Games</a> wanted to make Waluigi "a bit edgier than Wario" and explore his character. He thought that Waluigi's character was about blaming others, whereas Wario was about self-loathing. Inglehart said that when it was presented to Nintendo "nobody batted an eye" so he was surprised that the taunt was allowed to remain in the game without question.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characteristics">Characteristics</h2></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Waluigi_emblem.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="A yellow and purple gamma symbol on a white background" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Waluigi_emblem.svg/150px-Waluigi_emblem.svg.png" decoding="async" width="150" height="150" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Waluigi_emblem.svg/225px-Waluigi_emblem.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Waluigi_emblem.svg/300px-Waluigi_emblem.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="65" data-file-height="65" /></a><figcaption>The symbol "<a href="/wiki/Gamma" title="Gamma">Γ</a>" (upside-down L) on Waluigi's hat and gloves is used to represent him in many games.</figcaption></figure> <p>Waluigi is portrayed as a mischievous villain and an exaggerated mirror version of Luigi.
