15 Dumbest Video Game Character Names Of All Time

5. Waluigi (Super Mario)

I'd bet good money whoever thought of 'Waluigi' had a hand in the aforementioned Linkle, too. There's just no more "F*ck it, I wanna go home" final decision than running with what was clearly the joke suggestion at the beginning of a board meeting.

Nintendo literally just took the ethos of Wario, pondered for a second as to how 'wrong' Waluigi sounds, and ran with it anyway.

At least we didn't get Wapeach, Watoad or Wayoshi, but there's time yet.
