Psycho Waluigi introduces a new power to Waluigi to set him apart from the rest of the cast in the Mushroom Kingdom. It’s a full, complete adventure, too, and considered perhaps the best Mario fan game ever made, despite not starring a typical protagonist. The game has a near-perfect Super Mario World pixel art style, and could easily pass as a game that came out on the Super Nintendo. This game isn’t just a standard Mario-style platformer, only with Waluigi swapped in instead of Mario, but is more comparable to how the Wario games added a new mechanic to the character in addition to running and jumping like normal. One fan even went far enough to create an entire 2D platforming adventure starring Luigi’s counterpart titled Psycho Waluigi. Way before his strange, meme-fueled rise in popularity, hardcore Mario fans saw the potential in the lanky, mysterious side character known as Waluigi.

The game also received a prequel/spin-off based on The Adventures of Captain Toad levels in this game titled Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, which was first released on November 13, 2014, in Japan almost a year later. It is a follow-up game of the Nintendo 3DS installment Super Mario 3D Land, the fifteenth title in the Super Mario series, the sixth original 3D Mario title, the seventh 3D Mario title overall, and the fifth 3D Mario title on a home console after Super Mario Galaxy 2. Super Mario 3D World is a 3D platformer action game for the Wii U.
