Still Rejected After 25 Years

Can you believe it's been 25 years since Waluigi made his debut in Mario Tennis? Unfortunately for this purple guy, all he gets is nothing but rejection. Whether it's getting his very own game, or his own set of microgames in the WarioWare series, or even a playable character slot in the Super Smash Bros series, Waluigi is never getting any of them.

No wonder the sad cat that promised not to cry is weeping. Looks like Waluigi is destined to be the eternal reject who can only wallow in self-pity until the end of time itself...
