| A post in rom-hacking made me decide to post this. What is the deal with Waluigi's name? Wario is Mario with the M flipped. Shouldn't Luigi's polar opposite be with the L flipped? now sure, an upside down L isn't a letter. It's part of an F or something....yeah. So, what does everyone here think his name should have been? | |||

| I think they were going to make it Waruigi, l upside down being a lower case r, but there's that l r sound the same in japan problem, so they changed it, or it was changed in transration. Edit: And also, Wario's name is also a play off the japanese word for Evil or something like that. (edited by Someguy on 09-11-04 04:50 PM) |

| I think his name should have been Ruigi, or something like that. | |||

| I think Wai did mean evil or something in Japanse. So it makes more sense now?  Edit: And oh, the Japanse word I looked for is warui. Which is evil, or bad.  (edited by Ailura on 09-11-04 07:10 PM) |

| Ailura has it. 'warui' + 'mario' = 'wario' = evil Mario 'warui' + 'luigi' (keep in mind that 'lu' and 'ru' are the same sound in Japanese) = 'waluigi' = Evil Luigi. |

| yeah, i pretty much deny waluigi as part of the mario cast. But then again, any character who was not 8 or 16 bits in the ancient past is not part of MY mario cast of characters. | |||

| Mileena, don't worry; 'wai! wai!' is an expression (usually said by little kids) of happiness and excitement, like 'yippee!' or 'hooray!' | |||

| Yep, Warui is the Japanese word meaning evil, and 'R' and 'L' are pronounced the same in Japan. So that's where Waluigi came from. Quite a stroke of genius |
