Who's that big purple dork with the pointy ears and the Snidley Whiplash mustache? Why, it's-a-me, WALUIGI! Luigi's archenemy and friend to Wario, not much is known about the Mushroom Kingdom's resident purple villain. Where did he come from? What is his mission? Is he actually related to anyone else in the game? If you've ever wondered the answers to any of these questions, then you're in the right place.

Waluigi redefines the world "creep." Basically, every time this guy puts one foot in front of the other, he's creepin'. Literally, the first thing you see him do in his Mario Tennis debut is creepy around in the shadows. He's long, he's weird, and something about him is just off. Actually, pretty much everything about him is off. Proportionally, Luigi's got him beat by a long shot. Although he can pull off purple overalls better than most real-life humans I know. But enough of that! Let's get inside his head for a minute, and only a minute, because, honestly, who wants to be there for any longer. This is Creepy Brother: 15 Shocking Facts You Didn't Know About Waluigi!

What'd we miss? Drop a line in the comments section and let us know!

15 Whose Creepy Brother IS This?

via: pinterest.com

There's no doubt Waluigi is a creepy brother. The question is, just whose brother is he? Well, one would think he's Wario's brother, even though really the only thing similar about them is their color scheme and mustache. I mean, one of them is long and tall and the other one is short and squatty. The most similar thing about them is honestly their teeth. So, are they brothers? Well, it's not clear.

"Certain Nintendo of Europe sources such as Wario's Warehouse or the Mario Kart DS website suggest that they are siblings, with the Prima guide for Mario Tennis outright stating that Waluigi is "Wario's little brother," but the DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games contradicts this idea by stating that they are instead cousins under trivia notes."

There are even reports that say the two aren't in any way related. Only one thing is for sure: they both got weird teeth.

14 He Wears His Mission On His Head

via screenrant.com

This is one of the most interesting fan theories out there about el creepo numero uno, Waluigi. Sure, at first glance, the symbol on his head just looks like an upside down "L" (which is a little bizarre, since his name actually starts with a "W"). But looking a little deeper reveals there's actually more than just meets the eye. Take a look at this fan theory from Gameranx.com's Chris Carter:

"Although it could just be a coincidence, the symbol on his headgear isn't just an upside-down "L", it's the upper case version of the Greek letter Gamma.

In the realm of probability theory, gamma distribution commonly deals with mapping out the chance of certain events happening at certain intervals. Usually, these theories deal with maximum entropy (otherwise known as a measure of uncertainty, or volatility) — a mantra that Waluigi essentially lives his life by."

13 He Came Out Fighting

Waluigi's creation stemmed not from some great desire to expand the Mario universe, or create a new villain who would turn the series on its head, no. Rather, Waluigi was born because Wario needed a doubles partner for tennis in Mario Tennis 64. Yes, you read that correctly. Wario needed a partner for tennis, and hence came Waluigi. But man, did he make an impact once he got here.

Pretty much the first thing Waluigi does when he arrives on the scene is try to throw a punch. He and Wario step to Mario and Luigi, completely ready to throw down and do this thing. That takes some real stones! Waluigi hasn't even been in the series for more than four seconds, and he's already challenging his rival head on! He may only be here to play tennis, but he's not gonna walk away from an Italian plumber battle if the opportunity presents itself! Of course, Bowser interrupts them and the fight doesn't actually happen. But still! He woulda done it!

12 His Name Holds Many Secrets

On the surface, the name "Waluigi" seems pretty straightforward. It's like Luigi (that guy he hates), but it has a "Wa" at the beginning of it. Had to explain that for anyone who's never read a word before.

But if you look a little more closely, you'll see there's actually far more to the name "Waluigi." First off, Waluigi is actually a portmanteau, or a word that combines the definitions and sounds of two different words to make a new one. It combines the name "Luigi (again, for anyone who learned to read yesterday)," and the Japanese word "warui," meaning bad. He's bad Luigi, get it?

In addition, Waluigi is also an anagram (you can just look that one up, I'm not a sixth grade English teacher here) for the Japanese word “ijiwaru,” which translates to a cross-tempered, or ill-natured person. Sound familiar?

11 Easy Around The Princess, Buddy

One fan theory about Waluigi states he has a crush on Princess Daisy. I guess maybe he thinks she's more in his league since she's the runner-up princess (debatable) and he's the runner-up creep who has some weird fascination with Luigi. Luigi also has a soft spot for the brunette bombshell, which may explain Waluigi's desire to steal her for himself. The crush was made official in the Mario Party 4 Prima guide, and even more clues to the lanky one's loved one can be seen in their team names in the game, one of  which is "awkward date." Yeah, you wish, you purple weirdo. Daisy's clearly not interested, which is made obvious by their bad chemistry in Super Mario Baseball. Keep dreaming, Waluigi.

10 He's Not Afraid To Rob His Counterpart

It's not just that Waluigi doesn't like Luigi, who he should probably be thanking considering he wouldn't exist if Wario didn't need a doubles partner for tennis. We also have evidence that the purple plunderer has actually stolen a considerable amount of real estate from Luigi, namely, an entire island. In Mario Party 3, Waluigi has his own island, but it's covered with references to the green do-gooder and clues that make you think the island was initially his. These include different signs with Luigi on them, a Luigi podium, and a Piranha Plant destroying a house that has the name "Luigi" on it. Yes, you read that correctly, a house with Luigi's name is still in a renovation phase, even as Waluigi claims to own this island. Hey may want to spend some time on Angie's List finding a new contractor.

9 Get A Load Of Those Gams!

It's no secret Waluigi's body type wrote the book on lanky (and no, I'm not body shaming him, in Waluigi's case, that's a compliment). But what he may lack in mass, he makes up for in pure power. A great deal of Waluigi's physical power comes from his legs, which he often slams down to disorient and knock out his enemies. He takes Bowser down with a single kick in Mario Party 3, and stomps on chumps in Super Smash Bros.

Not only that, but Waluigi can jump, probably even higher than Luigi himself. And he's got a heck of a dropkick, as we see in Super Mario Strikers. What did Waluigi say to the Beastie Boy? KICK IT!

8 This Creep Can Dance

Oh, you thought those legs were only good for hurting the innocent? Think again! Waluigi knows how to bust a move, and this is never more evident than the one Mario game where he takes the role of central villain, Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. And not only that, he KNOWS he's a good dancer. In the game, it's his goal to "hypnotize the rhythmless masses" with his dancing and "flood the world with chaos."

Think about this for a second. Honestly, what's creepier than a lanky, purple-clad weirdo trying to take over the world by using hypnotic dance moves? I can't think of much. Maybe Dr. Eggman trying to do the same thing? That image is instantly pretty disturbing. Yeah, okay, that might be worse. But it's close. Real close.

7 How Does He Really Feel About Wario?

Via: youtube.com

We have reason to believe that Wario and Waluigi get along pretty well, right? While they may not be related by blood or...you know, at all, they do have similar choices in clothing, and both seem to really dislike Mario and Luigi. So there's that. But it begs the question: why doesn't Waluigi appear in any of the Wario games? Sure, he shows up in Mario games where Wario is a villain, but in Wario's stand-alone titles, there's no sign of Waluigi anywhere. That's kind of weird, right? Actually, it may say more about Wario's opinion of Waluigi than the other way around. When he actually gets a shot to go on his own mission and do his own thing, suddenly Waluigi's phone number is nowhere to be found. It's Super Wario Land, not Super Wario and Also His Friend Waluigi Whom He Respects as an Equal Land. Not cool.

6 If You Don't Have Something Nice To Say...

In the over forty games he's appeared in, Waluigi has had a lot to say. Here's a rundown of some of the best Waluigi quotes that just scream "this guy is a total creep."

"I'M NUMBER ONE! Heh, hehehehe! Look, I'ma dance, I'ma Sing, I'ma so Happy! HA, hahahahaha!...Heh? Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!" (Mario Tennis)

"I bet Peach makes a pretty penny from running this fancy club. *yawn* I ate so much I'm gonna need a nap!"  (Mario Golf: World Tour)

"I hereby claim this Music Key in the name of... er... um... Waluigi!" - (Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix)

"Take this, Mr. Eyeballs!"  (Mario Power Tennis)

And, as we all know, that's just what Mr. Eyeballs did. Poor, sweet, Mr. Eyeballs. We hardly knew ye.

5 He Just Wants To Be Loved

Hey, this is pretty pitiful! As it turns out, all Waluigi really wants is to be loved by others, a goal he will almost assuredly never achieved because of...you know, everything he's ever done. And who better to shed some light on this than the voice of Waluigi himself (along with pretty much everyone else in the Mushroom Kingdom).

"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. Martinet considers his self-pity to be "the cornerstone of Waluigi's character," such as how he constantly points out his own disadvantages and is quick to attribute his losses to his opponents cheating...Martinet has nevertheless stated that he prefers to play up Waluigi's more conceited and self-pitying traits, as he feels that direct hostility is unfitting for Mario villains."

This is one sad dude. Waluigi, not Martinet. That guy's PAID.

4 Plays Poorly With Others

One might think that since Waluigi and Bowser they seem to have similar goals, to end the Mario Bros, that the two of them would get along. But that couldn't be further from the truth. From Waluigi's first appearance in Mario Tennis on the Nintendo 64, in which Bowser puts a quick stop to Waluigi and Wario's attempt to settle the score with Mario and Luigi, Waluigi has shown that really the only other person in the Mario universe he can manage to get along with is his "relative" Wario. In the game Fortune Street for the Nintendo Wii, Bowser even takes a direct shot at Waluigi, mentioning his bad reputation and unattractive appearance. That's a lot coming from a giant turtle with spikes all over his shell.

3 Master Of The Whiskered Eggplant

via: youtube.com (ShadowMarioXLI)

This is my favorite entry on this list. In Mario Superstar Baseball, one of Waluigi's power ups is the Whiskered Eggplant. Now, what you may ask, is a Whiskered Eggplant? Great question. The Super Mario Wiki answers this question succinctly and perfectly:

"The Whiskered Eggplant is, as its name indicates, a purple eggplant with a moustache."

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT. I could not have said it better myself. This creep throws an eggplant with a mustache tacked onto it as a POWER UP. That's what he gets to throw when he's like, super-powered! I love it. Waluigi, when you think about it, basically is an eggplant with arms and whiskers. So it's like he's throwing himself. Be the ball, right?

2 You Won't Believe Who Cosplayed Him

via: https://www.mariowiki.com/Waluigi

Look at this jerk. You gotta be kidding me. Luigi himself dressed up in a Waluigi costume. Where does he get off! I hope Waluigi never sees this. It would destroy him.

Yes folks, it's true, Luigi has cosplayed Waluigi. This costume is available in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Come on. Look at his face. What a smug jerk. He knows what he's doing. Just rubbing it in Waluigi's face. And the nerve of this guy to throw up a peace sign! Peace? Waluigi doesn't stand for peace! He stands for throwing down and beating down chumps like Luigi! You never see Waluigi dressed up like Luigi, do you? No! And you know why? BECAUSE GREEN IS NOT A FLATTERING COLOR, THAT'S WHY!

You lame, Luigi.

1 Even Rich Uncle Pennybags Doesn't Respect Him

via: pintrest

Here's a piece of trivia about Waluigi that really shows you just how highly he's thought of in the Mushroom Kingdom: this dude is the cheapest character property you can buy in Nintendo Monopoly, taking over the Mediterranean Avenue spot. That's right, for a mere $60, you too can own this largely unprofitable and certainly highly undesirable spot on the board. You know you're at a low point when even an equally creepy dude with a monocle who calls himself "Rich Uncle Pennybags" doesn't respect you. And while we're on that guy, what kind of person is so insecure about how much money they have that they feel the need to incorporate it into their name? It's not enough that your actual last name is "Pennybags?" You gotta work "Rich" in there too? You know something, it's true what they say: it's a creep eat creep world!
