Intrigue. Mystery. Memeability. Just a few words that you could associate with the internet’s favorite Mario character, the incomparable Waluigi. The Super Mario franchise is one of the most recognizable video game series on the planet, but of all its colorful cast Waluigi is the one who has captured the most hearts and minds across social media.

It was no surprise when last week, fans went wild after Nintendo released a flirtatious, rose-brandishing render of him in a YouTube video. So wild, in fact, that some reactions brought up uncomfortable reminders of Rule 34. 

As if that wasn’t enough, he also has a new look in the upcoming Mario Golf: Super Rush for all his admirers’ worshipping needs. If that’s not an excuse to put together a dubious array of memes in his honor, then nothing is. Nobody cheats better than Waluigi, because how could you betray that beautiful face?
