Fans have been crying for the palatinate mischievous Mario character Waluigi to get his own game, or even just a shred more attention. The lanky rival to Luigi has only really appeared in side games to play sports or party with the rest of the Mario cast. So, for now, it's in the hands of fans to come up with something special for dear ol' Waluigi.
Japanese artist @Gaku_Kumatori has done just that, creating a fantastic new game in the process that we're sure many people would get a thrill out of. Combining Luigi's rival with the green-hatted moustachioed brother's own game — Luigi's Mansion — Gaku Kumatori has come up with the aptly-titled Waluigi's Mansion. And oh we desperately want this.
Creating separate renders for both 'Wagooigi' and a ghost version of Waluigi's brother Wario, we can only imagine what kind of trouble Waluigi will get into when he ventures into a haunted mansion. The ghosts will likely be scared of him!
Gaku's art is also just incredible, and it looks like an official piece of Nintendo key art for a real game. So come on Nintendo, take some inspiration and make this happen!
Fans have done a lot to make sure Waluigi gets the love he deserves. Last year, a fan-made trailer where Waluigi invites himself to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was released. But Nintendo sometimes gives us a scrap of goodness, like last year in Mario Kart Tour where Waluigi got himself a vampire costume.

Yes please, more original goofy games like this.
Although I’ve always thought a Waluigi game would look similar to untitled goose game’s syle of gameplay. Just Waluigi messing around with people in the Mushroom Kingdom. With a dedicated “WAH” button.
I'm going to pray to Satan every day until this is real
Saw that artwork on Twitter the other day. Absolutely amazing.
Eh, Waluigi wouldn't have something as grand as a mansion. It'd probably be something like 'Waluigi's Apartment' or something along those lines.
That art is incredible though like, oh my god it's so good.
@Fizza I mean you also wouldn't think Mario would have a castle but he sure did have one in Super Mario Land 2.
Luigi’s Mansion 4, but Waluigi is the Scooby Doo villain causing all the convoluted spooky shenanigans.
I want a Waluigi game and I want it right now. Nintendo letting AlphaDream die without making them do a Wario and Waluigi game is their biggest crime to date.
@Fizza
I would see this more as Waluigi brute forcing his way through an abandoned mansion and clearing it of ghosts so he can have it since he’ll never afford one himself
It looks like official art and really gives life to the character personality
That said, I'm pretty sure Wario and Waluigi aren't simblings
take my money
I don't mind him appearing on the next game, but making something that works with Luigi but with him is just uninspired. The reason why it works so well with Luigi is because of his personality (he gets scared easily, he's a bit clumsy, etc) and Waluigi doesn't match that description. Besides, it's the opportunity to start another series, not just gamble on a series entry that might not work while it's a sure thing that it already works with Luigi.
Waluigi just needs to be in more main games period. Justify his existence.
@Fizza Or maybe Waluigi's Shack.
@DiggleDog And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling plumbers and princesses and your mangy Yoshi!
I remember reading a fanfic once where Waluigi goes on a adventure similar to Luigi’s mansion poltergust and all...but he goes to heavenly host...yea its crossover fic with corpse party.
Also if you want a game that looks like it might be official then give psycho Waluigi a try.
As if we don't have Waluigi's Taco Stand? 😏https://mario64hacks.fandom.com/wiki/Waluigi%27s_Taco_Stand
@SmileMan64 Or better yet.
EDIT: DAMNIT @Bret YOU BEAT ME TO IT.
@Fizza LOL Awesome. Good memes nevwr die!
Yea Waluigi the best
@Fizza The song is permanently embedded in my brain.
A Waluigi's Mansion would be amazing. I'm a big fan of the guy, he makes me laugh. I doubt Nintendo will have enough confidence to give him his own game though. If he can't even make Smash, he has no chance.
I kinda envision Waluigi as a villain/anti-hero/eventual party member in a new Luigi game.
Maybe even a spin-off like Super Luigi RPG or Paper Luigi! Ever since Luigi would talk about his off-screen side-adventures in the first 2 Paper Mario games as an NPC, I've always wanted a fully-fledged Paper Luigi or Super Luigi RPG game!
I'm thinking of an adventure-RPG (with some light platforming) game featuring the B-tier, lesser heralded members & locations of the Mario universe... Luigi & Daisy exploring her Kingdom of Sarasaland up against Tatanga (Game Boy- Super Mario Land lore), Waluigi, Birdo, Nabbit, King Boo, Captain Toad & others as side characters and/or sub bosses. Maybe some old acquaintances from previous make appearances too like Mallow, Bombette, Professor E. Gadd etc.
Think it could make for a cool game. Luigi needs his own adventure where he steps up and is not a frail scaredy bros.
On a random semi-related tangent, another idea is I think Nintie should make Super Mario RPG 2 and explore family trees, ties & backgrounds whilst introducing new characters. Finally we meet Bowser’s Sr. & his Mrs. Bowsette perhaps? Mario & Luigi’s parents. Explore the Wario, Waluigi connections. Meet King & Queen Peach. Why does Rosalina look like Princess Toadstool? Is Wart Bowser’s cousin? And still bring back beloved series creations like Geno, Mallow, Booster & Boshi of course. Would be so fun!!!
... Wun can only hope.
I would buy this immediately if it was real.
If Tingle from Zelda can get a game then so too can Waluigi.
Hmm... Maybe do a Tingle vs Waluigi rosy wonderland.
I think I rather him as luigi's sidekick. More fun the goouigi
Waluigi's Mansion but it’s a beat-em-up with a Doom Slayer like setup of the ghosts being scared ***** of Waluigi,
@DiggleDog That's what I was thinking too. valley girls would say "OMG. We are like, Besties, like totes besties."
Amazing fan art.
I always pictured a possible Waluigi game to focus on him starting and building a company like Wario, only he would start a hotel resort (not on ghost-filled settnings like with LM but on broad daylight maybe somewhere near the beach or a city) with scammy prices, rundown rooms and questionable staff, the sort of 'funny bad businesses' you see on cartoons.
