It's only a few more hours until more costumes.
Will our hopes get crushed again? Find out soon!
In the meantime, a flashback episode of A Game of Clones I wrote from when Waluigi was deconfirmed:
The loud sounds from the halls in Princess Peach's castle could be heard from the far edges of the lake outside.
Newcomers and veterans alike sat around in tables, drink in hand as they cheered for the newly introduced Little Mac. He was carried out by a crowd of assist trophy characters, ready to be given his franchise symbol and go fight.
At the table in front of the window, Sakurai and other developers sat. Sakurai slowly sipped wine while others clapped and nodded their heads.
Waluigi and Daisy clapped from their seats. Wario looked over at Waluigi and raised an eyebrow, smiling.
Daisy felt a bit uncertain, the atmosphere almost having abruptly changed in her own mind. She tried to write it off as nothing, but Sakurai's stern demeanor made her a bit nervous.
"I have given you maximum tomatoes, moo moo milk, and remixes of popular gaming music," Sakurai said. "The Mario franchise has begged for a newcomer for ages, and this house well understands who is the most deserving."
Waluigi gave a sneer and clapped. Daisy held his arm and excitedly smiled, but still felt a sense of uncertainty.
Suddenly, Daisy heard the nearby band begin to play a tune - one she recognized. The theme of the Gusty Garden Galaxy.
Sakurai raised his wine glass and looked at the tables. Several characters stood and left, causing Daisy to stir in her seat.
"Yes, yes." Sakurai smirked. "We have indeed determined the new Mario newcomer. It was determined quite some time ago."
Daisy looked to grinning Wario. She tore off a button of Wario's overalls, revealing a hidden turquoise "Rosalina Supporter" button. She slapped his face and screamed Waluigi's name, but it was too late.
Suddenly, the musicians dropped their instruments and pulled trophy guns from the ground below. They began to fire them at the remaining patrons of the dining room. Jill Dozer, Krystal, Porky, Geno - all turned into trophies on the spot.
Waluigi's right arm and left leg had been turned in the crossfire. He was on his knee, yelling "WAAAAAAAA" in pain. Daisy had avoided shots, and emerged from under one of the tables. She aimed her ray gun at the nearby Pauline.
"Why!?" Daisy yelled.
"You promised me you'd pose in your sports outfit." Sakurai sipped more wine. "Waluigi promised to star in a Warioware game. You failed your promises, and this is your punishment."
Daisy put her finger on the trigger.
"We can forget about this! Just let us go!" Daisy yelled. "Or I swear on my honor as a Mushroom Kingdom Princess I will KO your waifu!"
Waluigi looked at Daisy and shook his head.
Sakurai tipped his head back and forth.
"I can find another." Sakurai smugly stated.
Wario walked up to Waluigi and placed a tennis racket in his plastic hands.
"Wahaha! The Rosalina fans send their-a regards!" Wario stepped back and shot Waluigi's chest with a trophy gun, completely turning him. Wario laughed heartily and placed a glass dome around Waluigi while Daisy screamed.
Daisy shot Pauline with the Ray Gun, causing a sudden burst of slow motion while Pauline screamed. As the slow motion subsided, Daisy let out a help as she started to turn into not a trophy, but a sticker. Behind her, Princess Peach held a Sticker Gun.
-Silent End Credits-
Really weird how that turned out to be.
