However, he~~ is usually a technical character in most of the ''Mario'' spin-offs.

Waluigi is usually a technical character in most of the ''Mario'' spin-offs, valuing precision and finesse over power. These range from simple actions, such as [[jump]]s, [[punch]]es, and [[kick]]s, to unusual actions, such as spinning to make a small tornado, creating thorny vines, and swimming in midair. In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', Waluigi is a medium weight, balanced character, but in ''Mario Kart Wii'' onward Waluigi is among the heavier characters. In the ''Mario Strikers'' series, he is an offensive character in the first game, and an defensive character in the second game, boasting high run speed and tackling, but low kicking power and passing. His speed is doubled when he uses the [[Wall-Luigi!]] skill, enabling him to cross the field in a very short time. Due to his good reach, he is classified as a Defensive character in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''. However, some games portray Waluigi as slow and weak, for balance purposes.

In most of his appearances, Waluigi is consistently a Technique character, possessing neither too much strength or speed, and relying on a special trait that would give him the edge.

Due to his long limbs, he is classified as a Defensive character in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''.

Waluigi's legs are shown to be particularly powerful, as he easily defeats Bowser with a kick in ''Mario Party 3'', and he is able to stomp characters into the ground in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. He shows his leg strength in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'', with his [[Super Strike#Waluigi - Drop Rocket|Drop Rocket]] technique. In addition, Waluigi is demonstrated to be an great jumper. His stats are seen to come close to Luigi's jumping skills, if not surpassing it.

~~Waluigi also has a variety of abilities.~~ In ''Mario Power Tennis'', Waluigi can distort his body into the shape of his emblem and create a tornado, which can drive his opponent away. In ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'', he also creates tornadoes simply by dribbling the ball around himself. In ''Mario Strikers Charged'', Waluigi shows the ability to summon and control thorny, purple vines, which he uses for his [[Wall-Luigi!]] [[Super Ability]]. He also uses them as a whip in his [[Mega Strike]]. In the same game, in his [[Deke]], he also demonstrates to be capable of teleporting in purple puffs of smoke. In ''Mario And Sonic At The London 2012 Olympic Games'', Waluigi displays the ability to use his "Γ" symbol as an energy projectile.

In ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'', Waluigi's [[Super Strike]], the Drop Rocket, consists of him surrounding himself with purple smoke and kicking the ball, covering it with a smoke trail
