Apologies to Leonard Cohen, composer of the Hallelujah song which this parodies.

Lyrics:
Well I’ve heard there was a sneaky gent
Who yearned to be in Smash Ultimate,
Then learned he wouldn’t be able to WAAA.
Who made the cut?
The nerd, the prude, the never-was, the always-nude,
The ones who’d never utter “WALLELUJAH.”
Wallelujah, Wallelujah…
Assist Trophy Waluigi.
But baby, I’ve been here before.
You opted for the pterosaur,
Some squid thing showed up and the fans said “BOOYAH!”
I said “An Echo would be fine”
But you said, “Too bad! Daisy time!”
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Wallelujah!
Wallelujah, Wallelujah…
Wallelujah, Waluigi.
Now maybe I’d be way too strong,
I’d top the tier lists all day long,
But even so, who the heck asked for Pichu!? WAAA.
Why won’t you let me make my case to
Punch some mascots in the face?
Ahh, go “assist” yourself! Bah! Wallelujah!
Wallelujah, Wallelujah
Wallelujah. Waluigi...
“Waaa. Whatever. Waluigi will go destroy everyone in Mario Tennis Aces instead.”

In Mario Kart, Waluigi uses Piranha Plant as an item. In Smash Ultimate, Piranha Plant uses Waluigi as an item. :(
-
This is how you should plead a case, not attacking the creator, but by showing how much you care and want this character.
-
4 years later, and "Go 'assist' yourself" is still a god tier joke
-
As a child you love the heros. As adults you understand the villain
-
Im not crying, my eyes are just pissing.
-
Pour one out for our boy. Nintendo did him dirty. Rest in peace, Wah.
-
This not just a song. This is art. A full character arc, summarised in 2 minutes. There never has, nor will ever be, a song which can fully capture such a powerful and moving message, that being that no matter how hard you try, or deserving you are, you may never get something. It is emotional and completely touching. Truly amazing.
-
Verse 4: "For 3 years more I hoped and prayed... That some day soon I could be played... But you thought another swordsman would do..." "And with this promised curtain call... My prays were fruitless after all... Now no one will ever chant Wallelujah"
-
For over 3 years I held out hope. May our purple prince Rest In Peace.
-
there is way too much emotion in this to be a joke, it genuinly sounded great
-
There's still something especially heartbreaking about the "Too bad, Daisy Time!" bit, maybe it's the added surrealness of our old favourite Waluigi-ism being twisted like that by a rendition of Sakurai (who's ironically using Waluigi's face to say it) drawn by the man who literally invented the phrase "Too bad, Waluigi Time!"
-
Never underestimate the fan's ability to take something so goofy and make it beautiful.
-
Sakurai: "I'm not adding Waluigi because he's a meme character" Also Sakurai: adds Sans Waluigi: am I a joke to you?
-
The visuals are actually mindblowing, the part where waluigi sees his name as an assist trophy and stands up and falls into a pit of assist trophies and despair was absolutely mental.
-
Even if he'll never get the chance to smash our favorite mascots, we'll always have him fondly in our hearts.
-
This song still hits hard after Sora's reveal, and that Ace Attorney reference made me cried because Phoenix Wright was my most wanted character, poor characters that didn't made it to the roster.
-
Waluigi doesn't need to be in smash What he NEEDS is his own game
-
Waluigi: The man The myth The legend The Forbidden
-
I know this song was made as a meme, but this version genuinely helped me during a time where I was extremely depressed. Idk why but, just something about this song makes me feel okay.
-
This song un ironically holds a special place in my heart, I was just singing this one day at school as a joke and apparently my girlfriend said that's the moment she realised she likes me, so thats sweet
