Oh Waluigi, you weird, wonderful, whacky piece of art.
The Waluigi love has been particularly strong recently, with that wonderful floppy hair of his taking centre stage in Mario Tennis Aces, and countless fan-made boxart covers appearing online, all fantasising about potential games starring the man himself. It perhaps comes at no surprise, then, that someone out there has made a mod for Mario Kart 7 to add him into the game.
Replacing poor Honey Queen in the roster, Waluigi comes with full models, voices, and animations, allowing players to dash around each track to a soundtrack of "wah", "weeeee", and "wah" once again. You can check it all out in the video below, which shows him being selected from the character roster menu before taking on a few races.
Considering the fact that Waluigi appeared in Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii, it seems strange that he never made it to the 3DS' outing. At least Nintendo saw sense in the end, though, bringing him back for the latest racing wonders in Mario Kart 8.
Would you like to see Waluigi turn up in more games? Would you like a Waluigi-centric adventure to be the next big hit on Switch? As ever, let us know down below.

Tbh I'd choose Waluigi over Honey Queen anyday
I think a WARIO BROS game would be amazing...where we actually play as Wario and/or Waluigi!
@KingOfTheFools I think anyone would.
@Toads-Friend
Isn't that Wario Land?
@shaneoh no...Waluigi wasnt in that? And it isnt a Mario Bros style game. I means like New Super Mario Bros in Mushroom kingdom but with Wario/Waluigi causing trouble instead
Waluigi is the classic bad guy who twitches his moustache and tied young women to train tracks.
He always reminded me of that bad dude with the laughing dog in 'Wacky Races'. Someone should turn this cartoon into a racing game.
Are we going to forget that Luigi and Yoshi are looking different too?
At long last, Mario Kart 7 is finally playable.
@Nincompoop Oh there there are many games of this!
@Hunt3r_Cr0wl3y Metal Mario as well, turned into Gold Mario who wasn't introduced in Mario Kart until 8 Deluxe.
I still find it baffling that he wasn’t included in the original Mario Kart 7, especially since Daisy was. The two of them began appearing in Mario spinoff titles simultaneously and have been sort of synonymous with each other ever since.
@Toads-Friend The first Wario Land looks and plays like a typical 2D Mario title (ie Super Mario Bros 3) with a Wario twist. You hit blocks to find power-ups, become small after taking damage, etc. It doesn’t have Waluigi of course, but he’s only a filler character anyway.
@Toads-Friend
As Euler said, the first Wario Land game played like a Mario game. It didn't have Waluigi, but you mentioned either or both
@shaneoh i dont want an argument, friend. I simply would like to see a MODERN platformer starring them BOTH. But if my comment causes such outrage then lets forget it 😉 Viva Waluigi
@Nincompoop There actually are some Wacky Racers video games
@LaytonPuzzle27 @shinobi87 I just googled it, yes there's 3 Wacky Racers game. They all sucked, that's why I never heard of them...
There should be a Wacky Racers game that lets you construct the vehicle and use it to compete online to see who's got the best wacky design.
@Nincompoop I unfortunately had it on GBA !
Interesting idea .. need to suggest that one to the Garrys Mod community !
"My very specific prayers have been answered!"

Never understood why they put Queen Bee in Mario Kart. Of all the characters they could have used to represent Galaxy (apart from Rosalina obviously), they chose a big bee you see like twice.
Cool and all, but why not adding in a single player single race mode instead?
Heh, whatever. I have MK8 on Switch now.
@Nincompoop
I loved that show. Used to be one of my favorites.
This one took the cake, though.
Tragedy !
When there is a Waluigi Pinball without him
It is Tragedy !
When a Queen Bee inside the game instead of him
It's hard to say.
Without Modding he will be going nowhere.
@10-zx
(Looked at Wacky Race video)
Muttley !!
@KingOfTheFools Uhh, Yeah!
@MH4 Oh heck I actually love that show. "And I'm a dog!" - Puppycorn
@10-zx Dastardly and Muttley FTW.
Aww, crap, now I want a Hanna-Barbara world RPG.
@Kirbster1992 It's surprisingly good! Cartoon Network has been pretty dang good recently.
Yeah
Now I actually wish I didn't trade awaymy physical copy...ah well, there's probably other methods of being able to play it...
@Nincompoop Actually the Dreamcast/PS2 Wacky Races game was excellent
I miss MK7. Every now and then I jump online for a race and all there is on there is a sea of Metal Mario gods
@AlexOlney Not Nintendo, apparently. Now can we switch Wiggler out with Diddy Kong?
He is my favorite in Mario Kart 8. I love it when he says "Everybody cheated..." When he loses.
When you read that, you read it in his voice - didn't you.
Nintendo really need to make something like a Wa-World where you try and save (read: "kidnap") Princess W-each from Waw-ser.
It’d make more sense for Metal Mario to be replaced by Waluigi. The whole “Honey Queen stole Waluigi’s spot!” is nonsense. Waluigi was going to be in the game, but they had to cut him due to time limits.
They obviously took Mario, edited his skin to be metal, edited his voice, give hm some new lines, and there you go, Metal Mario in Mario Kart 7.
It’d also make no sense for Waluigi to be in Honey Queen’s spot, because it’d make more sense for him to be in the row of unlockable humans, where Metal Mario is. No character is to blame for Waluigi’s removal, it was obviously just an accident on Nintendo’s part.
