Yea
Yeah agreed

@@Mercury-mj4jz the Afton family is always represented by the color purple
The fact they gave Waluigi so much personality and even gave him a job in construction and there is no Waluigi game is criminal.
I genuinely think Nintendo has something against Waluigi because he was made by Camelot. Like they refuse to acknowledge him as an official part of the Mario cast, but begrudgingly accept that he is in the universe whenever they have space to fill.
It pains me everytime. But at least they didn't fully thrown him away
Waluigi at this point is just an extra slot for sports games in Nintendo's eyes
@@ugxsan Oh, so like Deadpool whenever the Avengers/X-Men forget to take him off the roster.🤔
He’s also the only one not in smash!
I always found it funny how wario has a established backstory and history with the Mario bros and his own game series while waluigi just showed up one day to a tennis game hating luigi
He just walked in and went “dude this guy sucks”

Normal nose Wario is cursed. But normal nose Waluigi actually lookin very delivish, reminds me of Bowler Hat Guy lol
Also never once thought Wario was speaking German, sounds exactly like he's just saying "Oh I missed"
Delivish
Pretty sure it's been confirmed to be the German phrase by the voice actor.

Whelp, I grew up my parent's cartoons, whatever. They were fun. lol.
Honestly Wario and Waluigi being brothers that don't know they're brothers is a great new head canon. They're just completely oblivious to the obvious signs.
SMG4 ON GAME THEORY!!!
LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!
Its fittingly sad that waluigi was spurned from the very start of his life but is sweet that him and his brother came to be a team anyway
@@fun-epersonnproductions4002 ?
@Patrick39?
@@adamsharp9081 to be fair, Waluigi might be older than Wario, like a year or two, so thats why he diddn't get kidnapped with Wario.
Since Nintendo won't give him a back story I'll accept this one as cannon

Jesus Christ ya only got bot replies ;(
I mean it's the closest we got to Cannon.
@@booth-eboi335 Is your spelling of "canon" a joke of some kind? I keep seeing it around.
The world is always hungry for more Waluigi content - the greatest Nintendo character. Thank you for your diligence.
Maybe Waluigi wasn't skipped over by kameck in Yoshi's Island DS. He could just be younger than everyone else and he wasn't born yet.
I think it was mentioned that his first appearance says Waluigi is older than Wario but idk
@@archinspide2652 well then that explains why Kamek skipped him
make sense, i was thinking, why donkey kong was abducted not him..
hahahaha..
Didn't his Melee trophy say he was the same age as Luigi?
@@archinspide26527:39, wario is older
Honestly, the absurdity of Waluigi being passed over by Kamek for Wario is actually the strongest piece of evidence to me, as it's exactly as absurd and weird of a backstory as Nintendo would give for a character they don't really respect that much compared to their mainstays.
Well he probably wasn't passed over. Wario said he is older that Waluigi. So that means that he probably wasn't born yet unless they were twins
lets be real here in reality they just dont care about him to give him a backstory. i doubt nintendo would ever plan waluigi to have this lore because thats a lot of thinking involved for someone they supposedly dont care about.
I'm just here to point out that the Japanese that is written in 8:46 to describe Walugi's dad, is also how you spell "A Maniac" in Hebrew. In modern slang, it is used more as a "douchebag".
Thats funny! :V Would seem to fit the bill too lol
didn't even notice
Waluigi is forklift certified
Well, that explains the....appeal
The fact that Foreman Spike is related to the Wah Bros makes him so much more interesting. Makes it more of a family rivalry, since Jumpman is Mario’s father and Spike is Wario’s.
@Patrick39 Patrick Star didn't say that
@Patrick39 ratio 🤡
WTF is happening in this reply section???
It also makes sense when you remember that Spike himself is also pretty obscure in modern times. It would explain why Waluigi's origins are so obscure and unknown; unlike Wario, who got to go on absurd adventures, Waluigi remained stuck in a construction family with no wide fame or recognition. This also explains Waluigi's affinity for plants and technological gadgets, because construction involves plenty of landscaping and machinery.
@@andyavisand The bot army in full force
Honestly, Waluigi being Spike's son would explain A LOT of things about him. Such as why Waluigi's origins are so obscure: unlike the other main cast who have histories of adventure and action, Waluigi just grew up in a normal construction and demolition family. Which is probably _super_ normal because of how much the Mushroom Kingdom needs to be rebuilt after each of Bowser's attacks. So there really isn't much past to be uncovered for Waluigi in the first place - it's pretty plain.
It also explains why Waluigi has an affinity for both _plants,_ such as Piranha Plants and Wall-Luigi (Mario Strikers Charged) and _technological gear_ such as his frequent use of Bob-ombs, his "Waluigiscopes" from the Olympics and his four-armed backpack (Mario Sports Mix). Construction and demolition have a lot to do with land management, agriculture and machinery, so it makes sense for Waluigi to have skills in those areas if he grew up in a construction-based environment.
Nice meeting you here
The connections get even crazier when you get into it. One is the fact that Waluigi is Luigi's rival who is dressed in purple, which is interesting because in Wrecking Crew, Luigi was dressed in purple as well. Another connection is that in Mario Super Sluggers, Waluigi had a Star Skill called the Liar Ball, where he throws an eggplant with the baseball to trick the opponents. Wario has a similar Star Skill, but uses garlic instead, suggesting that eggplants are Waluigi's favorite food. This is interesting when considering the fact that the eggplant men were enemies in Wrecking Crew.
when u think of it like this, foreman spike must have felt so annoyed by mario's resemblance to his missing first child that he projected all of those grief he felt to abusing him, and when mario quits the construction job, his abusive tendency in projecting those grief must have changed target to waluigi, which made the waluigi that we know of today.
It could be that they are half siblings. Walugi is the older brother so when they were all taken as babies he wasn't because he was at that point a toddler. And the reason Wario doesn't acknowledge they are brothers is because he doesn't know or want to admit while Walugi does. Also possibly why they have completely different interests.
That could work too
Waluigi could also be Warios younger brother, yet to be born when Kamek took Wario
The ending to this one is kinda sweet. Even though they were separated at birth, they were still able to find each other and become close in the end.
True!
Truth
Honestly, this would be a very sweet story, despite being separated as babies they both ended up meeting and forming a practically brotherly bond anyway. Interesting change of air from the shady and disturbing theories that MatPat usually does.😊
You know, I always thought my classmate (who’s GENUINELY named) Luigi was similar to uhm.. Luigi. But like.. he’s more like Waluigi, isn’t he?
“isn’t he” idk man you’re the one who knows him
@@blekiscooler lol fair point
well his parents probably called him waluigi when he was a toddler. cause wa-luigi?
Let's Pray that Nintendo gives Waluigi some justice
An easier answer to why Waluigi wasn’t picked up by Kamek in Yoshi DS is that he wasn’t born yet. Wario is specified to be older and while the Mario Bros are cannonicly twins (from the intro to the original Yoshi’s Island) nothing about Wario and Waluigi say they were ever twins
Fair.
...But it's just funnier to say that Waluigi was passed over as a literal infant and that continued ever since.
@@vision4860 yep
Oh, yeah, maybe Mrs. Spike was so distraught at the disappearance of her baby Wario that she and Spike had another baby, Waluigi. His parents may have assumed Wario was dead and never said anything about him to Waluigi
I don't remember where I read this, but apparently it is Canon that both Luigi and Waluigi were born on the same day.
Two can be babies while being different ages idiot
In regards to the blue circles around the eye thing, my mom, myself, and all but one sibling all have pronounced bags under our eyes that make us look permanently tired, regardless of how much sleep we've actually gotten. So it's entirely possible that may be a generic trait.
I have those too and so does my mom but no one else in my family does
my mom and i have this aswell!! neither of us can figure out how to tone it down- concealer doesnt even seem to help...
My theory:
In many mario and Yoshi games they find a thing or have a thing that makes a wish come true.
My theory is that Wario found a wish fulfilling item and made a wish.
In the comics baby Wario and naby Mario didn't get alonge so Wario wished a brother like luigi. Luigi stayed with Mario and Wario wanted his own luigi in his life. Creating Waluigi.
What makes this theory possible is this little fact:
If waluigi is wished then he should not have the same childhood... have you ever seen Baby Waluigi in a mario game?
I just thought of a strange theory: What if Foreman Spike turns Wario in the movie and is set up to be the main antagonist for the sequel?
I'm gonna come back to this comment in a few months or so to see how it holds up
@@frosted_glaceon5513 I’ll see you then!
a friend of mine had a really similar idea actually, where in the second mario movie foreman spike would end up in the mushroom kingdom and get involved in whatever big plot happens, and he eventually starts to become increasingly annoyed at mario, then starts thinking he needs to change himself to be more like mario if he wants to beat his old nuisance. and then either the movie or just that little plot ends with spike - now wario - fighting mario
If Waluigi ever has a family, then they must be proud of him for being invited to Smash Bros.
dang
Indeed 👌
Yeah, but as an Assist Trophy.
Which is more fitting for him than anything else.
Or disappointed
He has one
Waluigi truly deserved this theory, he’s everyone’s favorite lean, mean, romancing, meme man 👏
ive reported so many bots
I thought you were going to end that with a machine and not man.
@The Game Theorists(plural) bot advertising itself by ways to get rid of bots
@@RngGm “I use the bots to destroy the bots”
Isn't waluigi also the picture of health in the mushroom kingdom?
waluigi has a german flag on his excavator so they might come from germany like the mario brothers came from italy, maybe wario got an accent and his stork may have came close to german so it makes sense that the lady is german
credit: someone pointed out that waluigi had a german flag and i had this idea but i couldnt remember who.. credits to you tho!!
If you've ever played the games, you'll know that every character has their own logo on their signature vehicle.
But! You can *make* your own logo as well. I remember being younger and always making my own scribble my logo. This is also the case in the video, that 'German Flag' means nothing, it's probably drawn on by whoever provided the content.
You can slightly see in the bottom right there's a watermark of NintenU
The Halloween costume of "Waluigi" I got had a very non copyright description which was simply;
"Bad Plumbers Mate"
I thought that was very fitting.
Honestly I wouldn’t actually be surprised if Foreman Spike was in fact Wario and Waluigi’s father along even before this theory even happened. Honestly we need a game where instead of Mario being the main character, it’s his dad going against Spike which is interesting imagine a Dad vs Dad like Mario game.
It's literally Wrecking Crew + Jumpman from Donkey Kong is Mario's father (while the Kong is Cranky Kong)
*wario to mario*
wario: My dad can beat up your dad! WAHAHA!
Here is another thing to possibly look at for Wario and Waluigi being brothers but seemingly different origins. They very well could be half brothers by sharing a dad, but not a mom, thus they had been separated before they were even born and gives Wario even more reason to not know about Waluigi being his brother.
I do remember some old game article that said Waluigi and Wario are bastards who had different mothers.
That would likely explain the nose shapes
Ya
I always thought that they were just bros.not biological brothers but two doods who are just partners in crime
“If Ness = sans, the Waluigi = Papyrus” is golden. Funniest joke in the video
No joke, if you were to think about it like this, Wario and Waluigi have a stronger bond than Mario and Luigi, cause Mario and Luigi got raised with it, but Wario and Waluigi just have a bond so strong that even if they don't know it themselfs, they will always be bound together by the brotherly love they hold within
This is surprisingly a wholesome and heartwarming theory. It's not all doom and gloom with theories.
But this is once in a blue moon lol
True, but that's a light comparison. This one just straight up screams kidnapping and forced separation. Imagine that..
Ah yes, the best sort of theory. No clinging onto trends, just classic theorizing about classic characters
Yeah i dont watch some of his more trendy videos. I like these better
Yeah, this feels so much like classic Game Theory
This is how it used to be. ):
He can't always make Mario theories. He will eventually running out of things to theorize.
Finally I can say that I've seen a game theory cover a Mario mystery I actually wondered as a kid. Mario Kart for the GameCube was my favorite game, and I usually played Wario and Waluigi for their bob omb items.
Back in 1st grade I had asked my friend who he thought Waluigi was, because we loved playing Mario kart. He thought Waluigi and Wario were cousins, paraphrasing, because they had to be related, but they have to change it up. I liked that answer and honestly I kinda stuck with that interpretation of it. Watching this video was really cool.
Casually hits the nail in the heat about spike in the mario movie
Makes the times Wario and Mario are sorta duking it out more compelling. Both get their brothers involved and both are sorta continuing their father's feud.
If we go by the theory, that Jumpman is Mario's father then yep
I love how MatPat and the team have basically traveled back to the early days of game theory with their recent theories
Now with 70% less cringe!
@@ItsYee64 Bruh
I love this theory in general, yay Waluigi! Unlike the Mario is evil ones which are funny but I'm not buying, I'm going to headcanon this one for real.
I'm glad yeah, lately I really dont watch GT because most theories are about new/obscure games I've never heard of, instead of classics.
@@etoinedevries7583 Yeah, I kinda feel the same, but I liked the new games I've been introduced to, not really by MatPat (yet) though.
That certainly is a sad yet beautiful story. Two brothers, one of taken away while the other stayed with his father. One grew up to continue his father’s legacy, while the other wants to farm and grind money. Two have never seen each other for many years, have changed their appearance a lot, and yet they have a connection. One that sparks joy and happiness to both, but they sadly don’t know the true reason why: their brotherly bond that was hidden inside their minds for many decades has opened again despite not knowing each other.
i kinda feel like they just used waluigi to replace spike as a character with how similar they are. waluigi almost jest feels like he was intended to be a "better" spike
Y'know what I want now? I want one of those Mario and Luigi RPGs that Nintendo makes every once in a while, but with Wario and Waluigi as the main characters
Bro what are all these damn bots 😭
Love seeing an old school type of theory! All the ARG and indie horror stuff is fun, but I adore stuff like this
Same. I love the lore behind the games. Though, I'm not a fan of horror games, so those theories are hard to watch.
I watch those videos and never really cared or got into them
Wario growing up seperately from Waluigi would probably explain the distinct absence of Waluigi in the Warioware series
the biggest mind blow of this episode is that the classic "Doh, I missed!" catchphrase isn't even what Wario was saying.
D'oh i missed is actually EXACTLY what he's saying, matpat is just no braining
@@zeebo30no, apparently the va confirmed it’s a german phrase
@@zeebo30yeah the other reply's right, wario used to have a german heritage in the 64 era of games
"i think they're just two nice, evil guys that found eachother." Charles Martinez is such a pure and lovable man, i will never take him for granted...
man these videos will never get boring

@Ba Ba ! keep yourself safe
What's our feel now after the Mario movie? Spike seems younger than Mario's parents but still old enough to be his boss, so are we gettin like Teenage Wario and Waluigi?
1:23 With the now revealed concept art for Wapeach, it was definitely not for dating purposes, because she's a child. XD
An additional detail that links the two of them together is the fact that Waluigi’s construction “Kart” has the German flag on the side of it. This could mean they’re both from a German family, which could also explain why Wario speaks German and has Germanic theme music at some points.
I was looking for this hahaha
That's a custom emblem, it's not on the kart itself. In Mario Kart DS you could make your own emblem out of pixel art and the game theorist team probably added that in there as an easter egg, the symbol would normally be his normal upside down L emblem
I also notice that
@@SyriakYT OH haha thanks
Oh no a scammer 😢😢😢😢😢😢 please if you see a comment that says “”hello subscribe thanks for the feedback and you get a prize” that is scam, please just don’t trust this comments okay ✅
Whether *Wario and Waluigi* are Brothers separated at Birth or not, the clear reason the two became a Duo at all is because of _how much they have in common._ They not only have what others would call 'deformities' in their facial structure, they share _similar lonesome backstories_ and have _a passion for making money_ by *any means necessary* - even if it means playing dirty and looking like *'the bad guy'!*
As to whether *Foreman Spike* is the _biological Father_ of Waluigi, I think that might be why Nintendo have kept the character's *Modern 3D Model* a Secret until the movie's Release.
One thing we've _never seen_ with the 2D Sprites of Spike if what his Eyes look like under those Sunglasses. If we get to see that there are *Cyan rings around the man's Eyes,* even if we never got to see _blue-grey pupils_ further in, this would officially confirm *Foreman Spike's* biological status as the *Canonical Father of Waluigi* - and most likely, that Wario is *his estranged Son,* taken from him and never being seen again...
Cant wait to see what he looks like in the movie !
Inb4 this becomes a plot through-line for the movies.
Even if this is not confirmed or true. This is canon in my heart. A strong brotherly love. Transcending the familial relationship itself.
I just like that one of the first few clips was SMG4'S WALUIGI in the Waluigi Arc
These theories are awesome. While other theory channels try to end on a note of cosmic horror, Matpat’s just like “ and that’s why brotherly hate conquers all” or “ you just have to try this literal tea”
I still don't understand why Nintendo keeps refusing they're related when their designs are uncannily identical just like Mario and Luigi are twins. Yet again, I actually never though Foreman Spike would be a possible candidate of a father of these guys. I hope the movie give us more clues 🤣
It’s probably because Nintendo themselves decided long ago that they’re lovers, don’t you know?
Great idea for next video: addressing the issue with the Established Titles scam and how it'll impact big YT creators. Game/Film/Food theory has done Established Titles in the past and a lot of other youtubers got fooled too. some are even suggesting that some youtubers are knowingly promoting a scam. it'll be great for yall to be transparent about the sponsorship process and how this may change the future of sponsors, youtubers, and UA-camr-audience trust
Matpat consistently puts more thought into stories and characters than the creators do. Simultaneously making his work impressive and futile.
Actually, Wario's voice actor in the Mario Party games, the one that sounds German, is because the voice actor *is* German and was made to say the phrase "Doh, I missed" in English, even tho he doesn't speak English. I learned this from a bunch of UA-camrs who play Mario Party games like crazy and Wario is the one dude's fav character, and that was a little bit of trivia he knew about Wario. Wario can be German, but he is actually speaking in English in that one particular phrase.
yeah i saw that part was like "he's litterally just saying he missed he's not speaking german at all. it even says "MISS" right there on the screen. theory team slipping a bit on that one
@@zeebo30 Then he is still speaking with a German accent, the theory didn't exactly fall apart on it being a German speaking English over a German speaking German, when it hinges on a German speaking.
Is this about fwob?
I've always thought how it's strange how he isn't in the 2d Mario games or how he isn't in the Wario spin-off games. Give him some more love
Seeing as Wario and Mario played together during childhood at similar ages, and Mario being around 24, Foreman Spike could very well be Wario and Waluigi's father provided he's in his late-40's.
8:31 Bro literally got me thinking Wario and Waluigi were related to Donkey Kong with all those hints and build up. 💀
The man himself finally got his own dedicated episode. Yet he can’t get his own slot in the smash roster
The Waluigi family also consists of the water type diglett, Wiglett and Wugtrio
So Wario is Waluigi's long lost brother. Maybe they reconnect during these tournaments or some other event, and becuse of their familial rivalry with the Mario brothers, they took on altering ego versions of Mario and Luigi, meaning their real names may not be Wario and Waluigi.
Also, you should do a break down on Mario and Luigi's extended family. They seem to take on many passing references from the animated/live action cartoons from the 80s and 90s. The movie does make clear that their father is the original Mario (unless it's the Jumpman character in the same movie named Giuseppi, who is also voiced by Charles Martinet). Also, it is mentioned on the Mario Wiki that one of the grandfathers of Mario and Luigi was a boxer, so perhaps that boxer mario was instead their grandfather, and maybe the same character we see in Punch Out (unless that's just Mario or his father Giuseppi, since their younger selves all look alike). It's just really nice seeing Nintendo and Illumination attenpting to make the Mario universe all connect. It's very tantalizing for any theorist.
I love how in this theory you say that Wario doesn't know that Waluigi's his brother, yet in the beginning cite a source where Wario refers to Waluigi as his brother.
Now THIS is a theory I'd love to hear about
Bruh why’d you copy my comment?

Have you seen bombastic?
Honestly this is probably the best theory you've made this year. All of it seems to fall right into place
My headcannon is they are brothers, but Walugi takes more after their dad and Wario takes more after their mom
But maybe she's tall and lanky like Walugi
These theories never cease to amaze me
I imagine that Camelot had some sort of miscommunication and wanted to implement Spike. But maybe felt like him and Wario didn’t make sense considering everyone else had mirror counterparts. That would explain why he has a very similar color scheme, shares descriptions, and has a construction vehicle.
2:39 Based on that hint, I immediately knew who Waluigi's dad could be
So sad so many bots
Appearently Waluigi's father is "my name". Listen man i haven't finished the fideo but i don't think that's true.
@Bully Maguire 🅥 HMMM
This one was so much fun watching! ^^
Bdg appearing in game theory has given me a new life
Y'know what, this Headcanon is one I'm definitely adopting. Well Played, Matpat.
Wario and Waluigi have so much 'Bro energy' that even when they don't even know they are brothers they still ended up as close friends.
Super cool Theory Matpat, I loved this one!
The new voice in the intro legitimately threw me for a loop- then Matpat coming back in at full force threw me off even more.
I like how he incorporated SMG4's Waluigi into the opening.
YEEEEEEAH BROTHER! WALUIGI REJECTION REDEMPTION ARC!

@@Thor-Orion The Rambo WALUIGI in the beginning.
PRECISELY
If I have to explain further, the 4th Waluigi we see the entire video.
It's crazy that it took this long for this episode to appear. Now that it's out, it just seems so obvious. Another point for the mystery of Waluigi
Loved this theory to death!!!!
I always canonically believe that Waluigi was related to foreman spike while worry. I was kind of off doing his own thing, but that one of his friends from the WarioWare could be secretly Waluigi’s brother.
This theory blew. My. Mind. When you pointed out the soundtrack comparison and the genetics, I was all kinds of shocked and made my day even more than it was before! Thank you, and tell Skip I said hi!
7:02 made me think a mouse was in my desk
Actually, Waluigi in an issue of Nintendo Power is actually a paid actor named, "Jimmy P." Who legally changed his name to Waluigi.
Interestingly, Jimmy P. is the name of a character in WarioWare: Smooth Moves who seems to be a doppelganger if not a copycat of Jimmy T. except he has tan skin, a yellow afro and interestingly enough, a pink nose
that was photoshopped and has been going around for years
Whether or not Wario and Waluigi are brothers is still unknown, but there is a piece of evidence in Super Mario RPG that proves that Wario is also related to Spike in some way. In Booster's tower, there's a room with pictures of Booster's family line and shows that he's related to both Foreman Spike and Wario.
wow, Mat REEEEEALLY loves finding every family tree to exist on Super Mario series....
But hey, I ain't complaining about learning the best boys father and his family tree
I'd love to see a game where you can play as Mario and Luigi vs Wario and Waluigi where Wario and Waluigi attempt a heist together on an art museum and Wario ends up taking treasure where Waluigi ends up taking portraits and then you play back and forth as Mario and Luigi to stop them.
Week 8 of asking Game Theory to cover Cultist Simulator. The only game I know still has enough hidden lore, in game and out, to bamboozle a community of thousands (very indie; very perfect FOR YOU!)
First theory in AWHILE that actually makes sense - and i ACTUALLY think is true. Well done Matpat. Well done.
So many bots
Based on the differences in design, it's possible there are two "Foreman Spike"s.
Given the similarities, it might be that the two are siblings, and both the Wa-team have separate dads. It'd mean that they would be cousins, not siblings separated at birth.
I had a similar train of thought, but I ended up deciding that Wario and Waluigi are half-brothers under the idea that Foreman Spike got divorced and remarried between Wario and Waluigi's births. That would explain the very distinct body shapes as having different mothers would allow some leeway for Wario to be short and stout and Waluigi to be thin and lanky.
@@bsmith6276 I mean, my mom was a short and stocky woman, while my dad is tall and kinda lanky, and I definitely ended up with more of his body type. These two could just have a tall and lanky bio mom, you know?
