Deganawidah 08/02/18 10:45:13 PM #4:	Right. The names of both Wario and Waluigi are based upon the Japanese word warui ( / ), meaning "bad." In the case of Wario it's a portmanteau that fuses the words warui and Mario so that each is cut, but Waluigi made it possible to use the entire word warui and still flow into the end of Luigi. Additionally "wu" has no kana in Japanese, so you'd have to add another vowel after the W regardless, so even if they had wanted to do "Wuigi" it wouldn't have worked well. --- "History is the road map and without it there is no way to navigate the future." - George Wunderlich <cite>Deganawidah posted [p:906177681] in Should Wal...

HylianFox 08/02/18 10:47:59 PM #6:	Another thing about Mario/Wario is that W is basically an upside-down M, which implies that Wario is an evil version of Mario While to English speakers "Waluigi" just looks and sounds dumb --- I like my beer cold, my TV loud, and my homosexuals FUH-LAMING! - Homer Simpson Don't be a turd. - Chris Pratt <cite>HylianFox posted [p:906177829] in Should Wal...
