'''Waluigi Unleashed'' was a cancelled action-adventure game in development by EA Tiburon for the [[Wii U]]. An attempt to broaden the series appeal, the project was plagued with cost overruns and development problems, and ended up being cancelled before it could be officially announced.
Details on the game's existence were leaked in private correspondence between the Super Mario Wiki staff and an Electronic Arts employee who wishes to remain anonymous.
==Plot==
Following economical upheavals and a brutal military coup, much of the territory formely known as the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] is now ruled by a corporatist group controlled by an unseen, omnipotent Big Brother-esque figure know as the Overseer. The Overseer enforces its will using armed militias enhanced with performance-enhancing drugs and mind-controlled cybernetics soldiers known as "Bio-borgs". Despite this, several resistance movements lurk.
Waluigi is a member of the Overseer's military. Though questioning the Overseer's violent ways, he sees the leader as a source of order in a world of chaos.
Waluigi is assigned to assassinate [[Funky Kong]], who is the leader of a guerrilla group aiming to establish a survivalist military state on [[Donkey Kong Island]]. After fighting through the guerilla troups, Waluigi corners Funky Kong, who simply states that "There are things you will never understand" and blows himself up with an [[Orange Grenade]] to avoid capture.
Before he can reach the extraction point, Waluigi and his squad are ambushed by members of another resistance group. The one behind the ambush, [[Bones]], pities Waluigi and stuns him. He is taken to the resistance's HQ and briefied by sole surviving monarch [[Princess Daisy]] and chief engineer [[E.Gadd]] to be briefied on the resistance's goals and the Overseer's atrocities. Cornered and deprived of his morality-dulling drugs, Waluigi has no choice but to accept.
Waluigi is then sent with a strike team to deactivate a military complex handling the anti-aircraft defense network surrounding the corporate regime's capital. During this sequence, Waluigi comes to face with an identical clone of his: Maluigi. The two blows and Waluigi come out victorious, but Maluigi escapes, vowing revenge.
At the resistance HQ, Daisy is consulting reports that the Overseer has nearly completed a deadly superweapon stored on the main floor of the presidential palace. Daisy decides to accelerates the timetable for the resistance's final assault despite Bones' pleas that they are not ready.
Waluigi is immediately relocated to the capital to participate in the assault. He fight through the streets and, during a lull in the action, is contacted by E.Gadd, who has been secretly dying of cancer and wants to be "absolved of his sins". The scientist reveals that Waluigi is, in fact, a clone with his memories genetically modificated; E.Gadd was the chief science officer of the Overseer's regime and handled the cloning process. Shocked by this development, Waluigi is temporally taken aback before deciding that is his "duty as an human being" to stop the Overseer. He then closes in on the presidential palace as reports reveal precisely what the secret superweapon is: A nuclear warhead (Codenamed: "[[Snufit]] Ball") that could cause a permanent nuclear winter should it be detonated.
Waluigi manages to reach the warhead's storage room, but it is guarded by Maluigi. The two fight to a stand-still, but Waluigi manages to convince his counterpart that he is understanding of his predicament (being a clone himself) and that they "can both live". Maluigi, touched by this display, offers to stay behind to deactivate the nuclear warhead. He successfully does so, at the cost of being lethally irradiated.
Waluigi fights to the Overseer's chamber. After a brief monolog, the Overseer reveals who he is: [[Wario]]. Losing his fortune and seeing all of his friend, including [[Waluigi]], being killed during the Fourth Kremean War, Wario realized that the corrupt and decadent monarchies plunging the world into chaos could only be replaced by the strict efficiency of a corporate facscist rule. Wario transferred his brain into an inactive 80-feets exosuit to guarantee immortality and aims to bring the peace to the world, using an army of cloned super-soldiers based on Waluigi's DNA.
The clone Waluigi responds that he is insane and they fight. Waluigi is initially overpowered by Wario's powered armour body, but [[Rosalina]] appears to him in a vision and states that he is the "chosen one". Using his newfounds divine, he overpowers Wario's mechanical body and reluctantly destroy his brain.
Daisy contacts Waluigi by radio and congratulates him on his success, before offering him to be the recipient of a medal at the inauguration of the new monarchic government, but he tells her off. Daisy ask Waluigi who does he think he is, and Waluigi responds "I
AM
WALUIGI!".
