is this a question of the actual mario? cuz he's got a new job where interwebs is not so readily accessible for him as they used to be, and his new apartment won't have the webbertubes hooked up till monday or tuesday next week.

Or, more likely, he was eaten while hugging zombies, that zombie hugger. Vote for Geoko, he's still alive.
It depends on when you're looking... I think that in his fire flower mode his overalls are white, but usually they're blue. And yes, his shirt is supposed to be green, not his overalls.
I disagree because, for starters, when you turn the "L" upside down it doesn't become a "Wal". It doesn't make any sense, Luigi & Waluigi? It's retarded. That, and that reason only, is why I hate Waluigi.
You have to remember that these names are coming from Japanese. They are reading it in katakana which divides these letters into consonant-vowel pairs. Mario is spelled マリオ ma ri o. Wario is ワリオ wa ri o. So. Luigi (ルイージ, ru i-[long ee] ji) really has no easy transition except to add the wa. backwards wouldn't be Igiul, either, it'd end up being ジーイル, ji-iru, Jill. You need a word that fits the pre-established theme and will be understood by English-speaking and Japanese audiences.
No, that doesn't work at all. the closest you could get is 悪いじ waruiji, but that's just bad ji, which can't mean person, and it still doesn't elongate the i as it is in ワルイージ warui-ji. a bad person would be 悪い人 waruijin. Even then, you'd say hito instead of jin at the end
Yes, but they don't have to. Plenty of franchises have name differences in different languages (Rockman, anyone?) and there's no reason why Nintendo couldn't do the same thing.
Waluigi is just a stupid character. And really, the Japanese explanation is interesting but I don't buy it because Mario and Luigi are simply not Japanese names.
The Wa in front of Wario doesnt stand for an upside down M. Wa (I'm paraphrasing because my japanese is shitty and non-existant) is something along the lines of evil, demonic, bad.
So the Wa in front of Waluigi makes sense.
Also, I'd like to see YOU come up with a video game character that sells more copies than anything Nintendo makes. Jerk.
Waluigi has a hat and gloves with an inverted L ( Γ ), which is similar to Wario's "W", an inverted "M". Waluigi's name is a portmanteau of the Japanese word warui (悪い), meaning "bad," and the name Luigi, so that his name literally means "bad Luigi".
