so PK made this post and i liked it
so much that i requested to make a design draft for it
a design draft for a game centered around everyone's least favorite plumber, waluigi
so here i am
WALUIGI'S WANDERFUL LIFE
PLOT: Waluigi.
Another day, another pound lost. Waluigi rolls out of his sad, sweaty bed to check his calendar, only to find that his rent is due tomorrow..and he's a few dozen dollars short. Sadly, after Wario's rise to success as an independent game developer, he has little time for his former BFF, as he spends his afternoon rubbing butts with fellow game devs Mona and 9-Volt. Play a scintillating tale detailing a week in the life of the Mushroom Kingdom's least appreciated plumber, with an eclectic lineup of characters old and new.
CHARACTERS:
Waluigi: Athlete. Procrastinator. Sycophant. The protagonist of this game. Follow this sorry sucker's boring days through Slogston, possibly one of the most depressing towns in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Wario: Game developer. Hoarder. Nosepicker. Childhood friends with Waluigi, the two share a common bond: they're both hardcore garlic enthusiasts. However, their friendship endures the ultimate test as Wario has moved on from hunting through job postings in the Slogston Tribune as he's now a successful game developer, enabling him to move to the posh town of Pyoroton.
The narrative moves to Wario sometime within the game, outlining the strain on the deep friendship between the two and dealing with the rest of the family problems.
Wadog: Newcomer. Not really. Wario's asshole dog. This depressing beagle pug (think Poochy from Yoshi's Island with a really ugly face) is so goddamn lazy it usually sits at Wario's feet most of the time...that is, unless he brings home money in any form, which at that point he'll promptly sniff it out and bury it somewhere in Wario's backyard.
You know that's why Wario needs a job so badly, right? It's because this son of a (literal) bitch keeps hiding Wario's goddamn money.
Wandaisy: Loud. Whiny. Trashy (but only when drunk ofc). Wario's guidette sister who lacks any skills whatsoever and, like Wario's friend Waluigi, is also out of a job (got fired from the Slogston DMV for poor customer service![Sad]( "Sad")
) and always calls Wario asking for money, as she's too proud to file for unemployment. If you listen really closely when on the phone with her, you might be able to hear her chewing an entire pack of gum on the other side. Oh. And it's Wanda. Please call her Wanda if you value your genitals.
Gabon [the Gavon]: Wandaisy's asshole guido boyfriend with an eating disorder. Enjoys starting fights. Try to avoid this guy at all costs. He's an asshole. No, seriously.
Wompstro: Waluigi's pet hamster. Has a tendency to shit all over your house in exchange for helpful tips on what to do next with your meaningless life and exactly what products to use in order to get stains out of your carpets.
GAMEPLAY:
So, with such a downright boring game, what is there to do? Let me tell you!
Play SIX minigames! WOW!
- WORK OUT: An athlete can't sit on his ass forever, no! Get out there to the local 24-hour gym and work those muscles. Feel the burn on that elliptical! Show that shitlord musclehead Chargin' Chuck that you can lift those weights with those noodly Waluigi arms!
- GET THE MAIL: Go to your mailbox! Sort through mail! Pay bills! Wow!
- TEND TO YOUR HYGIENE: Wash your hair! Pick your nose! Clip your toenails! Amazing!
- BROWSE OKKOOPA: Visit the one-stop site to find love in the Mushroom Kingdom! Find your soulmate using OkKoopa's 50-question personality test which scans against a database of 12 possible matches!
- COOK: Don't starve please. Heat up some Hot Pockets and have a feast ready in 15 minutes or less! Gadzooks!
- SLEEP: Go the fuck to sleep and wake up the next morning. Incredible!
Gameplay generally progresses in a visual novel format, with decision-making paths to decide the fate of Waluigi in the miserable week that you know him for.
now, to actually do like, everything: flesh out the story more, add more cameos of existing characters, um, get people to help create things, etc.
ideas? criticism? oh my god share please

It opens in Waluigi's apartment. There's dirty laundry and some half eaten eggplants on the floor. On his walls are some photos of him hanging out with Wario; Waluigi is happy in the photos but Wario looks like he'd rather be somewhere else. There's a dartboard with a picture of Luigi's face pinned to it, but Waluigi has missed with every dart he's thrown. Waluigi has a large and well maintained trophy cabinet holding only a single participation ribbon from a tennis tournament.
Waluigi wakes up from sleeping on his couch, grabs his phone, and opens his contact list (Wario is the only entry). Then he calls Wario who of course doesn't pick up (again), realizes that he has absolutely nothing to do with his life today (again), and goes out to bum around town where he some how ends up on an adventure and humourously fails his way through the rest of the story
or something like that
