Gimmick: Moving Smash Attacks. Similar to his appearance in Mario Tennis, Waluigi is able to charge smash attacks while moving.

N-Special: Serve
Waluigi throws a tennis ball in the air, pressing the b button again makes Waluigi hit the ball. The tennis ball flies in an arch similar to Wii Fit Trainer's side b, but is much faster. The speed of the projectile depends on the timing of the second input. You can fake out the opponent by only pressing the b button once, Waluigi can dash out of the move mid animation. The tennis ball can be picked up and thrown like a regular item.
Side B: Swimming Return
Waluigi swims in the air horizontally, hitting anyone in his way. If you mash the b button, Waluigi will ascend a little bit to aid his recovery to the stage. Inspired by his Defensive Power Shot: Swimming Return.

Down B: Poison Ivy
Waluigi whips the opponent using a purple thorny vine. This move is slow on startup, but has incredible reach, and when it connects causes high damage while also inflicting poison. Can be used for Tether recovery. Inspired by his appearance in Mario Strikers Charged.
His Final Smash is called: Destruction Dance.
Waluigi, in a cinematic finish summons a dance floor and Bob-ombs rain on his opponent while he dances to the beat. Inspired by his boss fight in DDR Mario Mix.
Side Taunt: Waluigi does his taunt from Mario Tennis Aces.
Up Taunt: Waluigi brings out a thorny red rose, posing before throwing it in front of him. The rose has a small hitbox, causes 1% damage, and minimal knockback. Inspired by his win animation from Mario Party 8.
