 Waluigi's trophies in both ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' indicate that their relationship is unclear. The Official Prima Guide for ''Mario Party 5'' states Wario and Waluigi are not related,<ref>"''Wario and Waluigi aren't brothers, but that didn't stop them from showing up and challenging the Mario Bros. in Mario Tennis.''" Stratton, Bryan. ''Mario Party 5'': [[Prima Games|Prima's]] Official Strategy Guide. Page 4.</ref> while website bios for ''Mario Party 10'' and ''Super Mario Party'' call Waluigi Wario's accomplice and sidekick, respectively. Contrary to the European website, the Japanese website for ''Mario Kart DS'' only describes Waluigi as Wario's partner, while the European website for Mario Kart Wii calls him Wario's cohort.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230601093327/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/amcj/chara/index4.html キャラクター＆カート-「隠しキャラクター」].
