What could be a good game for Waluigi to star in?

A new version of Wario World from GCN with Waluigi and 2P co-op.

The combination of platformer and beat-em-up would be great for Wario and Waluigi...just breaking stuff, getting rich, hunting for treasure, beating creatures up with charges/bashes/grabs/throws/piledrivers and wrestling-ish moves, building a castle and so on.

I love the idea of setting booby traps for people too...you could have a Spy vs. Spy-type multiplayer. Build your castle up, place a treasure, and keep people away from it with traps.

He can't star in anything by himself, though.
 
Wario and/or Waluigi should have been the villian(s) of New Super Mario Bros 2. If ever there was a game for Walugi, that was it. Imagine you get to the end an fight Wario, thinking he's the last boss. That's already a huge twist having Wario instead of Bowser and a nice call back to Super Mario Land 2. But it turns out that Waluigi was behind it the whole time and now you have to beat Walugi Castle! A double switch like the similar twists found in Mega Man 4-6. Oh, and you actually get something good if you've collected one million coins!

On topic, an actual Waluigi Pinball game would be cool. Waluigiware would also work.
 
I devil may cry like action game. He already has the taunts. Luigi could be his Virgil and his main weapons is the tennis the Tennis Racket. No wait, It should be like Godhand!
Or an RPG like Persona. With social links, Rosalina could be empress or priestess, Bowser is emperor. Toad could be hanged man. Birdo is obviously Lover. Luigi is hermit or Tower. Kamek is magician. Peach, is temperance. Yoshi is the Star....ok I will stop.
 
DLC for NSMBU, just like they did with Luigi. You can Play as Wario, Waluigi, or two... Whatever the Wa- version of a Toad is. Instead of getting to the end, you start at the end. Computer controlled Mario and the gang are trying to beat the level, your goal is to stop them. Bowl them over, throw them into lava, booby trap the ? boxes, anything goes! More points the further from the goal you keep them, for stopping them from getting coins, and for knocking them all the way back to start.

I half-expected this to already be posted.

Why is Waluigi dark? lol
 
How about a Sly Cooper'ish thief type game? Elaborate levels with things to steal with a central treasure chest to reach in each level. Could be neat.
 
I always thought something like Sly Cooper would work. Have the world dark and purple and have him stealing from the banks of the mushroom kingdom. Have small toads patrolling as security.
 
A WarioWare-like mission-based platformer. By WarioWare-like I means random and nonsensical. Think of it as Super Mario Sunshine meets Incredible Crisis.
The story can either be about Waluigi jealous of Wario's success in the video games business, Waluigi stalking Luigi everywhere to try and defeat him, or Waluigi adventure to save the princess (who turns out to be Birdo).

Before that have Wario & Waluigi be the player rivals in the latest M&L game, also introduce Waluigi to WarioWare.
 
Waluigi is angry that nobody knows/cares who he is, so he decides to make a name for himself by crashing all these other Nintendo games and sabotaging whatever the heroes are trying to do. It would maybe be like Saints Row IV, but with wildly differing environments.

i imagine that this game would start with Waluigi taking on nobodies like the dude from Urban Champion and he eventually makes his way to sabotaging Miyamoto himself in development meetings
 
Frog Fractions 2, which will turn up as an unlockable mini game in the next WarioWare, but it's secretly a remake of Final Fantasy 7, but Cloud is really just Waluigi wearing a costume that looks like Mallow from Super Mario RPG, and instead of a sword, he has a sign that says "HAHAHA ITS A ME WALUIGI I MEAN CLOUD", but you can't read it because the screen resolution isn't high enough, and then the internet goes crazy trying to figure out what the sign says, and then a mysterious poster on waluigimysteryforum.net posts a response that simply reads "check the toilet", and everyone looks in their toilet tank and there's a game in there called Waluigi Pinball Zone, and then you notice a constant stream of pinballs with Waluigi's face on them going down the toilet bowl.

It's like an ARG or whatever you call those.

I would love for this to be a reality. Waluigi was introduced for the sole purpose of giving Wario a partner, so they could be the antithesis of the Mario Bros, but he's not used as such.

I still maintain that the CGI intros to the Gamecube Mario Golf and Mario Tennis games are a fantastic example of the potential the two characters have, and that dynamic would work especially well in the Mario & Luigi series, which have far more personality than any other games in the Mario franchise.
 
Waluigi's House of Pikmin and Waffles.

It'll be like Cook, Serve, Delicious, except you serve slices of vengeance and retribution for being overlooked for so many years.

Nintendo I'll take my check now.
 
The only way Waluigi would work for me in a game is if it is self-aware of the character's stupidity and handles it with a lot of humor. So a game with a lot of dialogues like in the Paper or M&L series could really be fitting.

A Wario & Waluigi RPG similar to the M&L series might be the solution.
 
open world wario and waluigi gta style where they roam around trying to foil mario and luigi and if you can also mix in some warioware crazy in the middle of it that would be great

This is what I was thinking. Open world Mushroom Kingdom, Waluigi starts as a virtual unknown and is pissed about it. Eventually works his way up the ranks of the Koopa. Either Kingpin Wario as the boss, or an obese, Scarface-esque Bowser.
 
Ideally nothing. And Nintendo removes him from all their media and never mentions him ever again and apologizes for ever creating such a shite character.
