The toenail game absolutely did exist. I remember playing it on the website as a Child. I wish I could give more information, but it definitely did exist and function at one point in time
Same, it was super simple, you just had this hovering nail clipper that'd clip each toe when you clicked on it, so once you were done with all 10 toes, this jar would fill up with the clippings and you could send a little e-card through email to someone you know with the image of the jar and a small message you could type
The best characterisation Waluigi got was in the London 2012 Olympics. He got two of his own episodes in the story and it showed how he believes upstaging Luigi is his ticket to fame and how obsessive he is in doing it It also showed the contrast between him and Wario in the fact the Waluigi is less confident and seeks to be validated while Wario is already happy with himself and seeks material possessions
It's crazy how he un- ironically is amazing at sports. Especially in the Olympics games where he has more "technique" than a fucking princess. He can swim on air. Has the greatest dance moves outta everyone and is the Rizzler. Such a awesome person in the shadows. Soon the day will come where he will arise from the grave and moonwalk his way into stardom
@@murderman7265 in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games waluigi and egg man are both considered skill characters who both have more skill than peach. As well as being a technical character in Mario tennis until ace where he is a defensive character
I remember the Waluigi subsection on the Mario Tennis website, and yes that toe nail clipping game was real! It wasn’t much of a game though. You just used the mouse to clip Waluigi’s toe nails, they fly off into a jar, and then you could email the toe nails to a friend. So someone somewhere might still have a gag email from the 90s in their inbox with an image of a jar of Waluigi’s toe nails. The other games on the Waluigi website were a game where you graffiti spray paint pictures of Mario, Luigi and Peach, and a game where you use a robot to paint lines on a tennis court yellow and purple to match a pattern held by Luigi. Let’s petition Nintendo to put these Waluigi games as free downloads on the Switch, lol.
I've learned two new things about Waluigi, today: 1. They really tried to aim at him being disgusting during his conception, complete with the toenail clipping thing. I'm sure some people might be into that, if you know what I mean. 2. The writers of the Mario games are well aware of Waluigi's lack of a spotlight to the point where they consistently lampshade that fact. Let's just hope this wink and nod for Waluigi isn't a lampshade of no real significance.
Both him and Wario are supposed to be disgusting. I didn’t know about the Waluigi foot thing until now, but I know Wario has an obsession with farts and poop. I’m not sure which is worse
@@SmokeTheHorsehog there literally is no proof the game is fake, and that Nintendo made this for a little joke. One of the comments said they remember playing the game and all it was was just aiming your mouse at the nails and they just, flew away into a jar.. *Nintendo also made it worse* the same comment said you could email an image of the jar full of toenails to a random email. So somewhere out there, someone has an email on their computer sent from Nintendo in 1981 saying: " from ( someones email ) ! " And it was attached to an image of a jar full of toenails..
I actually remember seeing my brother play that toenail clipping game as a kid. You would just click on them to clip them, then they get put in a jar, which you could then email to anyone. I don't think he emailed it to anyone. The game was pretty much over in 10 seconds.
The email part is interesting. But I figure since it was an early Flash game there wasn’t much too it. Growing up (before Newgrounds came about) I’d hop around Cartoon Network, Nintendo, and cereal websites just to try all these games out lol. Though I missed out on Waluigi here
I really think we need a Mario & Luigi game with Wario and Waluigi. I know AlphaDream is dead but Nintendo could easily find someone else to do it. Camelot would ironically be perfect.
I could see them using Mario, Luigi and Wario; considering they didn't use Paper Luigi because there would be 4 characters on screen (which makes no sense since Partners in Time exists). Being optimistic, maybe they could make it in the style of Bowser's Inside Story, having 2 teams co-operating against the main antagonist.
I like to believe Waluigi is just some dude Wario found on Craigslist who he pays to play the part of an evil Luigi whenever he needs a partner for sports.
One of my favorite interpretations of Waluigi is that "off camera", he's a perfectly normal guy who doesn't really want to do any adventuring or grand plots. He just enjoys sports as a hobby, and he likes to play board games with his friends on the weekends. Wario will call Waluigi and be like, "bro I got this lead on a massive treasure, come help me sail out to this island and take it, we're gonna be rich" and Waluigi's like "ehh, sorry man I just put the tea on and my show's about to start, I'm not really looking to go out and do things today. But hey, be sure to call me if you're getting a tennis or golf game together or something, I'll join that for sure". It contextualizes why there's no "Waluigi game" and that's because he doesn't want to have a game all to himself, he just likes being a part of a sports team or another player on a board game. Now, that said, I also really love him being Mario's Dick Dastardly, where he's so desperate to cheat and win and cause problems on purpose that he will actually stop and cheat even when he's winning just because he can't help himself, and it brings him disaster as a result, and that interpretation doesn't really square with that. But I think they're both really fun for different reasons. I've also heard the theory that while Wario is greedy and not afraid to just take things that he wants, he doesn't really seem to break the boundary that is cheating to win. When he's playing Mario Party with the (gender neutral) Guys, he'll trash talk and hoard money, but he plays the game honest, probably because it's more satisfying to win that way and show that you're dominant. Waluigi doesn't have that much self-restraint. Waluigi isn't brave like Mario, smart like Luigi, or strong like Wario. All he has is cheating. Like I said, Waluigi will cheat even if he's winning. It's not a question of _will_ Waluigi cheat, it's _when._ Wario puts up with it because he doesn't care if _other_ people cheat, but it does drag his attempts to actually win down because everyone calls them both out for their shit every time. I like that little dichotomy between them where they're both assholes but for different reasons.
Given the fact that he was the antagonist in a Mario dance game and lately always is displayed with a rose in his mouth, I begin to believe Waluigi either works as a dancer, singer or entertainer or is just a romantic guy, who can dance! Lol
I can confirm for a matter of a fact that the game existed and it was playable. I visited the Mario Tennis site before Power Tennis was released and they wiped everything. Waluigi was given his own corner of the site and featured a tennis court puzzle game where you cover the white lines in purple and the toenail clipping game. It was a flash game where you clip Waluigi’s toenails and I think it even gave you the option to print it out for all to see. I repeat. The game was real and it was playable.
what astonishes me the most is the fact that Waluigi sold Luigi's underwear. Like WHAT?! Why not something that Luigi values more? Now I envy the person that got to buy them >:(
That's why people are eager to recover Waluigi's Foot Fault. That IS the only game where he's the main character, & the story (would a game about toenails have a story?) Revolves around him.
The toenail flash game did exist, I remember specifically playing it on the computer in my school's computer lab and my teacher telling me I was disgusting for finding it funny. After you clip the nails you put them in a jar and can email them to a friend. I'm glad this video exists though because for years I wondered if it was some bizarre fabricated memory.
A very important fact about Waluigi is that in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door you can find two badges. One is a Luigi Badge that makes Mario have Luigi's colors. The other is the Wario Barge which gives Mario Wario colors. But what happens when you wear both at the same time? That's right. You have Waluigi's colors. It's great.
Those old manga books look so good. You could make a whole video just about the humor of Nintendo, Sega, and Konami. Animal Crossing games have occasional subtle comedy.
i,, i feel like it's very possible that the toenail teaser image was also part of the joke, that there was truly no real intent to make this game, but the search did give us a new cursed image, so i'll encourage any further searching on the subject lmao
It's my headcanon that Waluigi isn't even his real name, Wario found just some random guy who's good at tennis and said "you're my brother now, your new rival is Luigi" and thus a legend was born.
Early Flash games were as basic as they come so I’m sure there wasn’t much to it lol. Still good to know that people actually played it and they published it on the site because it’s totally lost to time
@@TheMentok I didn't finish watching this episode, but if my memory serves me correctly, you clip his nasty toenails, and then you can email a friend or recipient the contents in the jar. I was 8 when I played the game.. I used to send my grandparents so many waluigi's toenail emails
As someone that went through the same stage, power through those days bruv. Then cut the toenails and scrub them for good measure 😂 Hope things improve for you dude 🙏
"two nice evil guys who found each other" - and Luigi's underwear. THEORY: Waluigi doesn't despise Luigi; he was rejected by him. Wario, on the other hand, accepted him. He and Wario are totally an item.
Nahh he's totally Luigi's crazy ex who's still mad about the break up, Wario is his on and off partner that encourages him. The underwear thing was the emotionally charged blackmail. Luigi probably told princess Daisy about it for her sake, thus her clear uncomfortability with waluigi
The mount of dedication and effort you put in these videos is the same if not more then some people with millions of subscribers good job bro and keep up the good content
Oh my gosh it's real?! Dude I thought this was some fever dream I had... Thank you for shining a light on this weird game, I honestly remember talking to my friends about it and none of them believed me back in the day
while I definitely think Waluigi should be used more (and wouldn't hate a spin-off game, or he and Wario returning as antagonists in a mainline game), there's no need for others (not you) slagging off Daisy. I would also like, and in fact, prefer a Daisy spin-off game.
Ditto. I think we should all just agree that these 2 (amongst others) have plenty of potential & would bring more flavor to mainline Mario titles, Wario titles (in Waluigi's case, like come on) & , if they haven't gone the way of the dodo, RPGs. All they need is a proper chance, Nintendo...
I can confirm as well I absolutely remember playing this game. I actually clicked the thumbnail because It had been years since I thought about it. I loved Waluigi and Daisy when the game first came out. If I recall it was just a pair of clippers that let you send a email once you finished clipping all the nails. That's so far back I am pretty sure I was using an earthlink email. There used to be tons of these things. I remember playing some digimon games as well.
Seeing so many people describe it the same way (email included), it definitely existed on the site. I wish I could have mentioned at least the emailing toenails part in this video 😂
Just imagine if someone out there actually kept the emails 20+ years later. Someone *could have* saved at least one image of that cursed minigame but there's no way to know until it gets found. We could have the infamous toenail jar brought back from the depths of cyberspace. It may be just a disgusting jar, but it's equivalent to the Holy Grail for Waluigi.
I like that they didn’t make Wario and Waluigi brothers. If they actually give him a game it mashes room for more possibilities. Maybe he could be the long lost 8th star child
I really appreciate this vid and the Wario origin vid of his anger and relation to Mario. Just watched Game Theory's vid yesterday on Waluigi's origin and everything just made sense. It's my headcanon now that Foreman Spike is Waluigi's and Wario's father. There were to many well thought out details pointing towards it that it was undeniably the case and can't be coincidences. Edit: Also really cool that Waluigi's name is an anagram for a Japanese work that means an ill-mannered evil person. Sucks that Nintendo leave him in the dust, think it's because he derived from Camelot and not Nintendo originally. Seems they treated some characters this way from Rareware in Diddy Kong racing for example with Timber the Tiger
It would be great to see WuLuigi in one of the next main Mario story games to learn more about him. Lol I never knew Metal Gear and Ape Escape had a crossover, loved the first ps1 ape escape when I was a kid
They included that crossover in Ape Escape 3 for the PS2. It has completely accurate Metal Gear gameplay. Unfortunately you’ll have to track down an actual PS2 copy of Ape Escape 3 to try it out since they removed it from the rereleases (probably a licensing thing). I believe there’s also a crossover within Metal Gear Solid 3 as well.
@@RomanSimkins That's not how canon works. Canon is referring to things that happened in the universe of the games. Yes, the game isen't canon to the franchise (thank God), but it's still is an official game. You can on the video that on 7:04 it says it's not a hoax.
Camelot used to be known as sonic software planning during the Saturn days when they made shining force 3 and shining the holy arc (great games). Would love to see them make an rpg with wario and waluigi.
@@TheMentok If I told myself as a kid, that the people who developed the shining series would be making Mario sports games. I would be asking myself what "what am I smoking".
Yeah I remember this vividly and I thought you’d find it, too bad but yeah in the game there’s a jar on the screen and you click off his toenails, put them in the jar and e-mail it to someone.
Ok so completely unsupported fan theory: what if Waluigi was the out of time Luigi from the Manga where baby Mario died? So now he's trying to get the glory he expected to have but never got?
Honestly, I’d take that story at this point. I don’t think Nintendo will address a backstory for Waluigi anytime soon. And if this ages poorly, hi to all the replies that tell me “this aged like milk”
Lately he's been sitting in his multi million dollar mansion that he lives in. Sipping some exquisite wine, lobster tail right out the kitchen. But he's been thinking he ain't satisfied with all the riches, something's different, he feels a part of him is missing. Because there is no invitation to the game of beatings. This is the ultimate slap in the face, he's angered deeply. They call him up if they need a filler, that's how they treat him. They get in Jigglypuff in again but said: "NO WALUIGI!" - Kevin Bennet spitting 🔥 for the channel mashed
I said it before and I will say it again: Waluigi and Wario deserve their own game which is similar to GTA/Saints Row but just more kids friendly and ofc inside the Mario universe - that would be cool!
PLEASE DO A GOLDEN SUN SERIES!! I am a huuuuuuge fan of the series. Possibly my favorite rpg series ever made. I am brand new to your channel and I love your content, I'm so down to stick around for some GS stuff man. Much love 💙
You forgot to mention his crotch-chop taunt reference in the sports games. Perhaps Waluigi is a DX fan; or just a fan of WWE and pro-wrestling in general.😉 Anyway great video dude!👍
Hi Mentok, thanks for the video about Waluigi. I definitely enjoyed and learned some things about him. The toenail game idea was the biggest surprise for me. While watching it I noticed some editing flaws (not from you.) On 2:46, why did they write “she” and “her” in the second paragraph. Were they still talking about Waluigi or someone else?
That was a poorly Google translated page from Japanese to English, so it’s not perfect but I figure that would be better for the video than the straight Japanese text lol.
Great videos Mentok. Fun facts: As I understand it, Waluigi inspiration as a character can come from the anime Yatterman and the villain of the trio (possibly also where nintendo came from to create a duo instead of a trio of villains in wario and waluigi). Anyway from The Doronbo Gang/Skull Trio Boyakky, which in turn was inspired by Wacky Races (which became very popular in Japan) villain Dick Dastardly.
Fun fact: The anime Yatterman is the actual reason why Nintendo rejected the idea of Warupeachy. Miyamoto felt she would had been like Doronjo (the villainess), but the team said she look nothing like her. Sadly, no concept art of what Warupeachy actually look like has resurfes at the moment.
I always assumed they lazily combined wario and Luigi...I was never familiar with the character outside of Mario kart for the WiiU. I was always left scratching my head on that name
Was there any lost obscure Monty Mole lost stuff here? Also this is the most cursed Mario game I have ever seen lol. Also how did you even find info on that Mario manga (I do have a lot of issues downloaded, but I was wondering how you found them)?
The toenail game absolutely did exist. I remember playing it on the website as a Child. I wish I could give more information, but it definitely did exist and function at one point in time

There’s a fingernail clipping minigame in Warioware lol I think there was toenail one as well. However, that image is cursed. 😂
I forgot to bring that mini game up 🤣 Though for some reason it fits naturally in WarioWare
I remember reading Wario somewhat adopted Waluigi in the "Wario's Warehouse" files.
Somebody could just reskin one of those Elsa frozen foot doctor games… maybe somebody already has…
Oh my gosh it's real?! Dude I thought this was some fever dream I had...
Thank you for shining a light on this weird game, I honestly remember talking to my friends about it and none of them believed me back in the day
while I definitely think Waluigi should be used more (and wouldn't hate a spin-off game, or he and Wario returning as antagonists in a mainline game), there's no need for others (not you) slagging off Daisy. I would also like, and in fact, prefer a Daisy spin-off game.
Ditto.
I think we should all just agree that these 2 (amongst others) have plenty of potential & would bring more flavor to mainline Mario titles, Wario titles (in Waluigi's case, like come on) & , if they haven't gone the way of the dodo, RPGs.
All they need is a proper chance, Nintendo...
I can confirm as well I absolutely remember playing this game. I actually clicked the thumbnail because It had been years since I thought about it. I loved Waluigi and Daisy when the game first came out. If I recall it was just a pair of clippers that let you send a email once you finished clipping all the nails. That's so far back I am pretty sure I was using an earthlink email.
There used to be tons of these things. I remember playing some digimon games as well.
Seeing so many people describe it the same way (email included), it definitely existed on the site. I wish I could have mentioned at least the emailing toenails part in this video 😂
It's criminal they didn't add Waluigi in Smash Ultimate
Just imagine if someone out there actually kept the emails 20+ years later. Someone *could have* saved at least one image of that cursed minigame but there's no way to know until it gets found.
We could have the infamous toenail jar brought back from the depths of cyberspace. It may be just a disgusting jar, but it's equivalent to the Holy Grail for Waluigi.
Fun fact: Waluigi has never appeared in a mainline Mario or Wario game. His only starring roles are Mario Party 3 and DDR: Mario Mix.
I remember this internet flash game from like 2000
Not the title I was expecting to read
I like that they didn’t make Wario and Waluigi brothers. If they actually give him a game it mashes room for more possibilities. Maybe he could be the long lost 8th star child
This is his only game 😭
This might be the most cursed thing I ever seen in my life
Nintendo....
Made.....
A toenail theme...
Waluigi flash game....
On the Mario Tennis (64) website...
What the hell....
Why doesn’t Waluigi have a solo game?🤔
I really appreciate this vid and the Wario origin vid of his anger and relation to Mario. Just watched Game Theory's vid yesterday on Waluigi's origin and everything just made sense. It's my headcanon now that Foreman Spike is Waluigi's and Wario's father. There were to many well thought out details pointing towards it that it was undeniably the case and can't be coincidences.
Edit: Also really cool that Waluigi's name is an anagram for a Japanese work that means an ill-mannered evil person. Sucks that Nintendo leave him in the dust, think it's because he derived from Camelot and not Nintendo originally. Seems they treated some characters this way from Rareware in Diddy Kong racing for example with Timber the Tiger
The master of chaos.
me
That was Dan Schneider's favorite game
so we're just not gonna talk about whatever the hell charles martinet is wearing at 15:47 ?
Waluigi is like the best dude.
Believe it or not, The waluigi website leads to the nintendo main website now.
It would be great to see WuLuigi in one of the next main Mario story games to learn more about him. Lol I never knew Metal Gear and Ape Escape had a crossover, loved the first ps1 ape escape when I was a kid
They included that crossover in Ape Escape 3 for the PS2. It has completely accurate Metal Gear gameplay. Unfortunately you’ll have to track down an actual PS2 copy of Ape Escape 3 to try it out since they removed it from the rereleases (probably a licensing thing). I believe there’s also a crossover within Metal Gear Solid 3 as well.
As a big waluigi fan I enjoyed this video really good quality 👍
Love you man keep up the videos 💯🔥
I was listening to this as i played smash online and got waluigi as an assist trophy
You're truly one of the better video essay creators!
Camelot also made one of the first RPGs on the Playstation - Beyond the Beyond, it was also a precursor to Golden Sun!
Oh god his toenails are horrific
I remember that Waluigi foot thing on the Mario Tennis website... Thought it was a fever dream... or rather, nightmare...
This wasn’t on the website, some random fan made this article.
@@RomanSimkins It's official sadly. The game is lost, but...ummm...
@@mariajimenafigueroa233 It definitely isn’t canon though.
@@RomanSimkins That's not how canon works. Canon is referring to things that happened in the universe of the games. Yes, the game isen't canon to the franchise (thank God), but it's still is an official game. You can on the video that on 7:04 it says it's not a hoax.
@@mariajimenafigueroa233 I know official doesn’t mean canon. That’s not what I was saying.
Wario
And Waluigi =long lost brothers who found each other and became friends without being aware their brothers
- game theory
Waluigi and Wario should be voiced by Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci.
I was thinking how much they reminded me of those two while going through the cutscenes for this video
So true!
Waluigi is my backup mario party character. Purple is dope
I agree purple is like a unique color 💜
I think I might vomit
Camelot used to be known as sonic software planning during the Saturn days when they made shining force 3 and shining the holy arc (great games). Would love to see them make an rpg with wario and waluigi.
It’s odd they haven’t made an RPG since Dark Dawn.
@@TheMentok If I told myself as a kid, that the people who developed the shining series would be making Mario sports games. I would be asking myself what "what am I smoking".
Whoa holy crap I remember this, I used to e-mail Waluigis toenails to my grandparents!
Yeah I remember this vividly and I thought you’d find it, too bad but yeah in the game there’s a jar on the screen and you click off his toenails, put them in the jar and e-mail it to someone.
Super Madio Bdlazzas never fails to crack me up
It’s too late. Pronouncing it this way from now on
Can't understand why you'd disrespect a legit plumbing business like that.
We will get waluigi in smash one day mark my words
I hope no
Waluigi become to much of meme for that
2:21 is the best moment of this vid
Ok so completely unsupported fan theory: what if Waluigi was the out of time Luigi from the Manga where baby Mario died? So now he's trying to get the glory he expected to have but never got?
Honestly, I’d take that story at this point. I don’t think Nintendo will address a backstory for Waluigi anytime soon. And if this ages poorly, hi to all the replies that tell me “this aged like milk”
Lately he's been sitting in his multi million dollar mansion that he lives in. Sipping some exquisite wine, lobster tail right out the kitchen. But he's been thinking he ain't satisfied with all the riches, something's different, he feels a part of him is missing. Because there is no invitation to the game of beatings. This is the ultimate slap in the face, he's angered deeply. They call him up if they need a filler, that's how they treat him. They get in Jigglypuff in again but said: "NO WALUIGI!"
- Kevin Bennet spitting 🔥 for the channel mashed
DAISY. DAISY. DAISY. I'm too lazy to make you read that in the Smash Bros chant
I said it before and I will say it again: Waluigi and Wario deserve their own game which is similar to GTA/Saints Row but just more kids friendly and ofc inside the Mario universe - that would be cool!
PLEASE DO A GOLDEN SUN SERIES!! I am a huuuuuuge fan of the series. Possibly my favorite rpg series ever made. I am brand new to your channel and I love your content, I'm so down to stick around for some GS stuff man. Much love 💙
Justice for Waluigi
You forgot to mention his crotch-chop taunt reference in the sports games. Perhaps Waluigi is a DX fan; or just a fan of WWE and pro-wrestling in general.😉 Anyway great video dude!👍
Hi Mentok, thanks for the video about Waluigi. I definitely enjoyed and learned some things about him. The toenail game idea was the biggest surprise for me. While watching it I noticed some editing flaws (not from you.) On 2:46, why did they write “she” and “her” in the second paragraph. Were they still talking about Waluigi or someone else?
That was a poorly Google translated page from Japanese to English, so it’s not perfect but I figure that would be better for the video than the straight Japanese text lol.
@@TheMentok That makes sense. Thanks ❤️
Great videos Mentok.
Fun facts: As I understand it, Waluigi inspiration as a character can come from the anime Yatterman and the villain of the trio (possibly also where nintendo came from to create a duo instead of a trio of villains in wario and waluigi).
Anyway from The Doronbo Gang/Skull Trio Boyakky, which in turn was inspired by Wacky Races (which became very popular in Japan) villain Dick Dastardly.
Fun fact: The anime Yatterman is the actual reason why Nintendo rejected the idea of Warupeachy. Miyamoto felt she would had been like Doronjo (the villainess), but the team said she look nothing like her. Sadly, no concept art of what Warupeachy actually look like has resurfes at the moment.
I remember this game back in middle school...
OMG YOURE THE SONIC GANGSTA PARADISE GUY!? I LOVE THAT AMV BRO
It’s me. They said I’d never escape the meme 😂
I remember that game! I played it.
You forgot to mention that waluigi has a crush on daisy but daisy hate waluigi
I always assumed they lazily combined wario and Luigi...I was never familiar with the character outside of Mario kart for the WiiU. I was always left scratching my head on that name
One of the few times they referred Nintendo Power (jar filled with nails)
15:21 killllllllleeeeeeedddd me lmao
I really want to see your videos on the Golden Sun games
I definitely would have to replay them. It’s been so long and it’s exciting thinking about going on that journey again
Thank you recommend for this video
Waluigi toe nail game sequel: Mentok and Nick Robinson team up to restore this legendary game.......BY GOING ON A TRIP TO JAPAN 👍
Was there any lost obscure Monty Mole lost stuff here? Also this is the most cursed Mario game I have ever seen lol. Also how did you even find info on that Mario manga (I do have a lot of issues downloaded, but I was wondering how you found them)?
Why'd that blink make me jump? I didn't need that stress before bed.
