'''''Psycho Waluigi''''' is a fangame made by Thunder Dragon of MFGG fame. Set in the [[SuperMarioBros Mario Universe]], it stars Wario's underappreciated partner, [[SatelliteCharacter Waluigi.]]

After taking a nasty fall from his hot air balloon, Waluigi wakes up in an unfamiliar land with a strange, purple, eyeball cloud watching him. The eye identifies itself as Psycho Iris and tells Waluigi that he is in the land of Unconcia. He goes on to explain that due to both the natural influence of the land and his own phenominal power, Waluigi now has psychic powers. Now that he has his own super powers, what will he do with them. [[SaveThePrincess Save a princess of his own?]]

[[VisibleSilence ...]]

Nah, he's gonna go take out the [[BigGood Hazelnaut Army]] and [[TakeOverTheWorld conquer Unconcia for himself]].

[[color:purple:Now go on ahead, my little tyrant in training. [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife Ruin some lives]]. Heh heh heh!]]
----
!!Examples:
* AccidentalHero: Waluigi spends most of the game conquering kingdoms and kicking army ass, [[spoiler:but then Psycho Iris reveals he'd rather destroy Unconcia than get bored ruling it and that's where Waluigi draws the line!]]
* ADayInTheLimelight: And what a day it is for Waluigi!
* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Occasionally, Waluigi will commandeer a tank or airplane from the Hazelnauts, leading to shooter segments with unique controls. [[spoiler: Also, the world 0 stages have you take control of a [[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent mook]], giving you unlimited access to that particular species' power.]]
* AutoScrollingLevel: Some specific levels have this. Almost every level in the game has this occur when you reach the throne.
* BadLiar: Psycho Iris constantly assures Waluigi that he has no plans to betray him. The closer Waluigi gets to releasing him, the more frantic the eyeball's claims become. Before the final level, he tries to tempt him by making ridiculous promises, saying that he'll give him the power to fly, shoot lasers from his eyes, and [[SuperNotDrowningSkills breathe, eat, and talk underwater]] [[LampshadeHanging ("You've been doing that, right?")]] before finally giving up and simply begging to be freed. [[spoiler: [[AvertedTrope It turns out that he was telling the truth the whole time]]. Mostly.]]
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: [[spoiler:The final boss fight takes place here. After Psycho Iris takes over Waluigi's unconscious body and seals the purple plumber in his own mind, Waluigi uses his imagination to create his own psychic powers and exorcise the iris from his body.]]
* BattleshipRaid: Dreadnought Kingdom.
* BigGood: General Hazel and the Hazelnaut Army play this role, mobilizing to protect and take back the kingdoms that you conquer. Hazel herself pilots the mechs that you fight at the end of each world.
* BlahBlahBlah: Psycho Iris is quite prone to this.
* BossRush: Available after beating the game.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After being defeated by Waluigi, [[spoiler:Psycho Iris's]] final fate is left unknown. On the MFGG forum, [[WordOfGod Thunder Dragon]] provided the explanation that [[spoiler:he is now [[SealedEvilInACan trapped inside Waluigi's head]] and remains unseen, outside of the occasional freak signal]]. But then, he went on to state that he [[TeasingCreator could be wrong or lying]].
* ContinuingIsPainful: Losing all your coins once Waluigi runs out of health isn't so bad, since earning gold crowns is optional. However, the timer doesn't reset, which can be inconvenient on harder levels (particularly the [[spoiler:[[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Final Conquest]]]]).
* [[spoiler:CrossPlayer: Alluded to by Psycho Iris, in the stage description for [[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent Ninjette's Challenge]]...while seemingly '''[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall talking to the player]]''' about their own desire to be a cute ninja girl.]]
* CrosshairAware: Dreadnought Kingdom and Warm Welcome Kingdom.
* CreatorCameo: [[spoiler:The king of the Static Void Kingdom will look very familiar to anyone who's seen Thunder Dragon's signature on the MFGG forums.]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: By [[SuperMarioBros Mario]] standards, that is. Conquering kingdoms can be somewhat jarring to players that are used to saving them.
* DestructibleProjectiles: Hazelnaut bullets can be shot at fireballs.
* [[spoiler:DiscOneFinalDungeon: Blind Eye Kingdom. You didn't think Psycho Iris would really force you to fight him after he's unsealed, did you?]]
* DoubleJump: Pink and Gold Eyeflies give Waluigi this ability.
* EasilyConqueredWorld: [[OneManArmy Inverted.]] You think there would be at least more defenses in each king's throne room at the end of the level besides the king himself shooting magic at you.
* [[spoiler:EleventhHourSuperpower]]
* EliteMook: The Hazelnaut Infantries and Pyros essentially take the place of Hammer Bros in this game.
* {{Expy}}: Many enemies in this game are expies of various enemies of the Mario series. The only two enemies that are actually from the Mario series are Bob-ombs and Piranha Plants.
* FundamentallyFunnyFruit: Eyeflies are attracted to psychics who feed them eggplant. [[spoiler:Upon breaking Psycho Iris's seal, Waluigi learn that he had been cursed into the form of an eggplant, and he had to eat him in order to free Psycho Iris's spirit and gain his ultimate power.]]
* GimmickLevel: ''Every'' stage, usually in form of a level-unique task, hazard or other gameplay mechanic.
* TheGoomba: Goomlet
* GoombaStomp: Waluigi can do this, as expected.
* GravityScrew: Falling Sky Kingdom.
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: When Waluigi returns to the Mushroom Kingdom, he tries to tell Wario about his adventures, but Wario doesn't believe him. Well, less "disbelieving" than plain not caring and getting bored to sleep (thanks to the former's [[MotorMouth story delivery]]).
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Your standard attack is to pick people up and throw them at other people.
* HannibalLecture: [[spoiler:Psycho Iris gives one to Waluigi once his own plans for Unconcia come to light.]]
* HeroAntagonist: General Hazel.
* HPToOne: In the area before [[spoiler:the battle with Psycho Iris]]. Waluigi heals himself before long, though.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: Ninjette.
* InvincibilityPowerUp: With a twist -- the Ragin' Rainbow Stars are harmful to you, so you need to grab it with your psychic powers and use MindControl to become invincible.
* JumpScare: The Face (an MFGG InJoke) makes a cameo appearance in Static Void Kingdom.
* MeaningfulEcho: [[spoiler:"After all, this is ''your mind''. Anything you think up will become reality..."]]
* MeaningfulName: Blind Eye Kingdom was built primarily to seal away Psycho Iris, thus ''blinding'' him.
* MindControl: In a manner reminiscent of Kirby, Waluigi can use the Mark of Psycho Iris to pick up minions with special powers and use their skills against the other enemies. This can turn GoddamnedBats like the [[AnIcePerson Frolruses]] into weapons of mass destruction.
* [[spoiler:NiceJobBreakingItHero: Congratulations, general! You've knocked Waluigi unconscious and stopped his rampage...but that allowed Psycho Iris to possess his body. Whoops.]]
* NobodyCanDie: At least, not in Unconica.
* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:Once freed, Psycho Iris wants to destroy the conquered Unconcia. Waluigi doesn't approve of this plan very much.]]
* OurFounder: Most post-boss level cutscenes involve Waluigi spreading statues of himself over the kingdoms he's conquered. [[spoiler:At the end of the game, it's revealed that a statue was erected in honor of Waluigi defeating Psycho Iris and saving Unconcia.]]
* PowerUpFood: Waluigi can collect eggplants to attract Eyeflies.
* PragmaticVillainy: Waluigi eventually thwarts [[spoiler:Psycho Iris's]] plans of [[spoiler:destroying Unconcia]], because he'd rather rule it himself.
* PropRecycling: Several backgrounds and tilesets are directly lifted from other [[SuperMarioBros Marioverse]] games. Nevertheless, they're [[TropesAreFlexible edited well enough so that they don't visually clash too much]].
* RainbowSpeak
* RealityIsOutToLunch: In Static Void Kingdom.
* RecurringRiff: The [[MarioKart Waluigi Pinball]] theme gets remixed a few times throughout the game.
* RecursiveReality: [[spoiler:Subverted. In the ending, it initially looks like Waluigi would be forced to create another Unconcia-like world ''inside his own mind''. However, he breaks out of Psycho Iris's control.]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Psycho Iris leaves you for the penultimate level, due to bad memories of the time he tried to conquer that kingdom alone. This means you'll have to rely on traditional [[SuperMarioBros Mario styled platforming]] rather than the Psychic Powers you've grown accustomed to.
* SealedEvilInACan: Psycho Iris causually mentions that the cloud cursor that you are using isn't really him, but a psychic manifestation he's using to guide you. He's really sealed at the bottom of the ocean, waiting for someone to free him.
* SlouchOfVillainy: The goal of every level is to reach the kings and take over their thrones.
* SugarBowl: Amusingly, [[spoiler:the penultimate level, Blind Eye Kingdom, is one of these, despite being being set up as a dark and spooky place and being smack in the center of the Mordor like World 6. Made even better by [[CardCarryingVillain Psycho Iris']] apprehension about the stage, his horror story about his first defeat there, and his terrified ScrewThisImOuttaHere once you finally reach it.]]
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:Once Psycho Iris is freed, he fuses with Waluigi, creating the titular Psycho Waluigi. While in this form, Waluigi can fly and shoot an incredibly powerful laser blast from his mind.]]
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Played with. Psycho Iris constantly tries to put Waluigi's mind at ease that he has no plans to betray him when he is free. [[spoiler:He's telling the truth. He wants to join forces with Waluigi to make the most of both their power.]] Then [[spoiler:he eventually ends up having a different plan for the conquered Unconcia than Waluigi does. And winds up locking Waluigi up in his mind when he is knocked unconscious.]]
* TakeOverTheWorld
* TimedMission: Each level has a time limit of 400 seconds.
* TitleDrop: "[[spoiler:Now, you and I have truly become one... from this day forward, we shall be known and feared as]] [[color:yellow:Psycho Waluigi]]!"
** [[spoiler:Also done during the ending for comedic effect while Waluigi and Wario are talking. "Psycho... Psycho... Psycho..." "WALUIGI! WALUIGI! WALUIGI!"]]
* VideoGameSettings:
** BandLand: Musica Kingdom.
** BlackoutBasement: Sleeping Ship Kingdom.
** BubblyClouds[=/=]LevelsTakeFlight: World 4.
** BubblegloopSwamp: Crystal Swamp Kingdom.
** CapitalCity: World 2.
** DeathMountain: World 5.
** GreenHillZone: Warm Welcome Kingdom.[[spoiler:..right until the Hazelnaut Army bombards the whole place.]]
** HailfirePeaks: Desert Freeze Kingdom.
** {{Mordor}}: World 6. (Which are the kingdoms Psycho Iris had conquered. The exception is Blind Eye Kingdom, which was built to capture him so he could be sealed away and thus does not share the setting theme.)
** RemilitarizedZone: Bomb Shell Kingdom (along with most boss levels.)
** SlippySlideyIceWorld: World 1.
** SpaceZone: Part of the Final Conquest.
** UnderTheSea: World 3.
* VictoryIsBoring: [[spoiler:Discussed. Once Psycho Iris reveals his [[OmnicidalManiac true intentions]], he explains to Waluigi that he'd rather have Unconcia destroyed than have to deal with all that comes with ruling it (bureaucracy and so forth). He does initially relent, hoping that Waluigi will eventually snap from boredom. Then Hazel attacks them and Waluigi gets knocked out, allowing Psycho Iris to take over his body.]]
* VillainProtagonist
* YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulness: Subverted. After Waluigi frees Psycho Iris, the latter says he's going to destroy the former. Psycho Iris then admits he's just telling Waluigi what he expected to hear.
