Wawario and Wawaluigi

Wawario and Wawaluigi are fan-created Super Mario rivals—Wawario as a large, eyeless orange-and-green Wario pastiche and Wawaluigi as a lanky, ratty Waluigi variant. A June 2015 YouTube animation coined an early Wawario name-drop; the modern orange design spread through Fantendo and DeviantArt before RedMario's June 2024 roster-read video passed 800,000 views.

The pair resurged in September 2026 when TikToker @muddyk1pp reuploaded the roster clip (133,000 views in two weeks), @tabbyarrow13585 posted a classic Mario crew meme at 99,000 views, and X user @V0IDEYEDPANDA's fan art cleared 5,900 likes. Know Your Meme opened a submission September 18, 2026, framing the fad as Mario fandom character humor rather than official Nintendo canon.

wawario.com can host a character-design bible with credited DeviantArt and Fantendo sources, pronunciation guides for the roster-read meme, and downloadable PNG cutouts sized for TikTok duets without reposting full RedMario uploads.

wawaluigi.com fits a fan-art gallery indexed by month—September 2026 X and TikTok highlights with outbound creator links, plus a "Mario Brother Cube" explainer tying Wawario/Wawaluigi to other fan rivals from @kiophen's alignment chart.

wawariobros.com works as a meme-kit landing page: caption cards ("MARIO LUIGI WARIO WALUIGI WAWARIO WAWALUIGI"), audio-sync notes for @muddyk1pp-style posts, and cross-links to other Nintendo character entries for visitors arriving from September Direct hype.
