A Maverick Hunter from the year 21XX who fights tirelessly alongside Mega Man X against the Maverick forces of Sigma. He was once a Maverick himself, a creation of Dr. Wily and the original source of the Maverick Virus. At some point in time, he had himself sealed away for decontamination and appeared with a new body, becoming the protagonist of the ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' series, stopping the likes of Copy X, Elpizo, the Dark Elf, and Dr. Weil. As he does in both of his series, he attacks with his Z-Saber when summoned as an Assist Trophy.

* PromotedToPlayable: Subverted by having the way he became "playable" in ''Ultimate'' 's DLC cycle be with a Mii costume. However, his costume is the first one involving an Assist Trophy to be a "Deluxe" costume similar to [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]], VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}, and [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} Vault Boy]], and Sakurai pointed out that Bomberman is an Assist Trophy that now has a Mii costume in the Steve/Alex presentation, something he has never done with other characters represented in both ways.

* MeaningfulName: It's a portmanteau of "Luigi" and "warui", the Japanese word for "bad". Additionally, it's an anagram of the Japanese word "ijiwaru", which essentially means "bad guy". Unfortunately, unlike Wario's name[[note]]the name effectively starts with "war"[[/note]], the pun in Waluigi's name was LostInTranslation.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: He seems pretty out of place compared to all the other new ''Zelda'' content that comes from ''Twilight Princess'' (where even assets that don't appear like Sheik and Deku Nuts have been redesigned to match). He pretty much hints that the player will be unlocking more ''Wind Waker'' content later on in the form of Toon Link and the Pirate Ship.

* CatchPhrase: [[YearsTooEarly "Jyuunen hayain dayo!"]] [[note]]"It's ten years too soon for you to challenge me!"[[/note]]

** He gives weapon items to whoever summons him before he leaves, a nod to how he supplies Bayonetta with her weapons in his home series, particularly to how he literally throws Bayonetta her guns during the Prologue of both games. The way he attacks with gigantic summoned fists is also similar to how he fights as a BonusBoss in his home series.

** His Spirit can be Enhanced into his Infinite One form that he uses in his aforementioned BonusBoss fight in ''Bayonetta 2'', and it has the [[CriticalStatusBuff Critical Health Attack]] ability, a nod to how he transforms [[TurnsRed once he takes enough damage]] during the battle.

* GuestFighter: The popular [[AntiHero anti-heroic]] Ultimate Lifeform from Creator/{{Sega}}'s flagship ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise.

* PowerCreepPowerSeep: He's [[JokeWeapon laughably weak]] here, but is actually quite capable in his own games.

* {{Bishonen}}: Takamaru has a young and slender build with sharp facial features, similar to Link.

* YouAreNotReady: Her sendoff quote is taunting variant of this.

* CameraScrew: His modus operandi. Most obvious on small stages, which can leave but a smidgen of land on the screen.

* BladeOnAStick: The basis of his Shovel Blade. Obvious usage aside, it's pretty much a spear with a very sharp shovel head as a tip.

* AdaptionalBadass: Mario and Luigi normally requires the Starman power up to defeat Thwomps in their home games. But in ''Smash'' they are fully ''immune'' to it, due to the Starman power up only preventing damage being taken during matches and not allowing the usual InstaKill mechanic when they walk into enemies or players.

* DevelopersForesight: Knuckles cannot be summoned on the Green Hill Zone stage, due to his appearance as a background character there.

* InvincibleMinorMinion: The only ''Mario'' enemy in every Assist Trophy lineup that cannot be KO'd. This is accurate to its home appearance, where it is normally incapable of being defeated.

* BadassBaritone: Speaks with an impressively deep voice when summoned.
