Charles Martinet knows a hero when he voices one
There is no Nintendo character more chronically screwed by the company than Waluigi. He’s brought in to round-out sports and party game rosters, and yet he is perpetually denied a starring role, or even the chance to costar in a “proper” Mario game.
The voice of Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi himself, Charles Martinet recently recognized the plight of Waluigi, stating he would “love to see a Waluigi game where you have to cheat to win, ya know. That would be funny.”
I’ve always wanted to so the purple one join his three brothers (he is related to them, isn’t he?) in a proper Mario adventure. New Super Mario Bros. Wii was the perfect opportunity, and yet the chance was wasted by giving playable spots to Ala-Gold and Bucken-Berry instead.
[...] only Charles Martinet would get his way, and Waluigi could finally land that starring role he’s so deserving [...]
