He appeared in the Mario Kart series as a playable character since Mario Kart Double Dash, he also appeared in Mario Kart DS as an unlockable character, and Mario Kart Wii as a playable character again, but in Mario Kart 7, Waluigi did not return as a playable character, but made a cameo in DS Waluigi Pinball.
Waluigi eventually appeared in Mario Kart 8 as a playable character once again. Waluigi was an unlockable character four times, in the Game Boy Color version of Mario Tennis, Mario Golf Advance Tour, Yakuman DS, and Mario Kart DS.
