According to his voice actor Charles Martinet, Waluigi feels that good things are always happening to others and not to him, causing him great frustration. However, despite his overconfidence, Waluigi is also characterized by the great amount of self-pity he displays at other times. However, his victory animations still depict him as somewhat of a boastful character, due to him ranting about "being a superstar." In the Mario Party series except for Mario Party 3, Waluigi abandons his arrogance to play fairly against his opponents this is also the case for Wario. His victory celebrations often highlight his self-aggrandizing nature and vanity, and occasionally contain vulgar elements as well, such as in Super Mario Strikers where one of his victory animations involve him performing a pelvic thrust. Waluigi's original bio in Mario Tennis also pointed out that he seeked to become as popular and as beloved as the Mario Brothers. In Mario Tennis Aces, Waluigi points out that his and Wario's reasons for attaining Lucien was so that they could become the best tennis players in the world. In his one outing as a central antagonist in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, Waluigi claims that his reason for obtaining the Music Keys is to be the best dancer in the world, while bragging about using his power to spread chaos and control "the masses". He has a perpetual scowl and is quick to anger, with earlier bios stating that he dislikes others being happy. He has bad chemistry with most other characters besides Wario, and is an openly rude and mean-spirited troublemaker. Waluigi is personified as a comic relief character and a boastful, ill-tempered foil to the more humble and gentle Luigi. Waluigi with glowing eyes in Mario Tennis His stats are seen to come close to Luigi's jumping skills, if not surpassing it. In addition, Waluigi is demonstrated to be an great jumper. He shows his leg strength in Super Mario Strikers, with his Drop Rocket technique. Waluigi's legs are shown to be particularly powerful, as he easily defeats Bowser with a kick in Mario Party 3, and he is able to stomp characters into the ground in the Super Smash Bros. However, some games portray Waluigi as slow and weak, for balance purposes. Due to his good reach, he is classified as a Defensive character in Mario Power Tennis. His speed is doubled when he uses the Wall-Luigi! skill, enabling him to cross the field in a very short time. In the Mario Strikers series, he is an offensive character in the first game, and an defensive character in the second game, boasting high run speed and tackling, but low kicking power and passing. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Kart DS, and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, Waluigi is a medium weight, balanced character, but in Mario Kart Wii onward Waluigi is among the heavier characters. These range from simple actions, such as jumps, punches, and kicks, to unusual actions, such as spinning to make a small tornado, creating thorny vines, and swimming in midair. Waluigi is usually a technical character in most of the Mario spin-offs, valuing precision and finesse over power. He wears a purple cap with the "Γ" symbol it is mirror to Luigi's "L". Waluigi wears a purple shirt and navy blue overalls. Waluigi is a tall man with a narrow face and a pointy, thin mustache. Charles Martinet describes them as "two nice, evil guys who found each other", leaving their contemporary relationship ambiguous. However, Mario Super Sluggers depicted them as friends in 2008, and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games stated they were unrelated in 2009. Originally, Waluigi was established as Wario's younger brother. The details of Waluigi's past are unclear since he has no confirmed background, although he was evidently been antagonizing the Mario Bros., especially Luigi, for quite some time before his debut as seen in the opening of Mario Tennis, where he and Luigi confront each other. Un his was voiced by the late Takeshi Aono, later Akira Ishida in Japanese version and Charles Martinet in English version ever since. Since his first appearance in Mario Tennis, a majority of Waluigi's appearance are in the spinoff titles, in which he is frequently partnered with Mario's rival Wario. Waluigi is a recurring character in the Mario franchise designed to rival Luigi.
