Despite the text supposedly being written in the year 2000, it mentions the release of ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', which occurred in 2003, and the image features artwork of Wario and Waluigi from the 2005 game ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. The real September 2000 issue of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' contains a page that mentions Waluigi, but with different text, instead introducing him and the online game ''[[Waluigi's Foot Fault|Waluigi's Toenail Clipping Party]]'':

<i><blockquote>'''MAMMA MIA! IT'S WALUIGI!'''<br>He's lean, he's mean, he hates the color green! Yes, with hopes of finally overthrowing Mario's supreme reign as the video game king, Wario has enlisted the help of Waluigi. The big fellow with a nasty smirk and burning hatred of good, ol' Luigi finally shows his ugly mug in Mario Tennis, and to mark the momentous occasion we're giving the purple one his very own website! You can check out www.waluigi.com for all your evil sidekick needs: photos, secret information, and all the wacky hijinks you could ever desire. We're looking to have online games, too, including the{{sic}} Waluigi's Toenail Clipping Party. It seems that everyone's favorite mustachioed mischief maker has let his personal grooming go, and it's up to you to help him. Clip those nails good, and be sure to aim for the jar, or you'll be left with ragged clippings and toe jam all over your hard drive. Eewwww!<ref>Nintendo (September 2000).
