I’ve nothing to add.
So you’re saying that Wario is alternate universe shadow the hedgehog???
"Wario" is a Japanese portmanteu of Mario and "warui" (bad), but in Finnish "Wario" is also a homonym of "varjo", "shadow".

I thought it was just upside down M making a W in the name, upside-down (Bizzarro) Mario

So… you’re… Italian, I guess, without using any search engines to check?

And Waluigi is warui + Luigi

Huh, I always thought it was Wario + Luigi

And also, in English, W is an upside down M.
I’m sure that everybody knows that, but it does count as a third language that uses a play on words to represent Wario as the yin to Mario’s Yang.

Well yes, because he’s the opposite. But I don’t think English gets to take part just because of one letter. Apologies. I mean, that letter defines what can be used as opposites, but… like… no.
Sorry.

Mario has an English letter on his hat. The capital letter M. So… like… yes.
Sorry.

It’s really funny to me that you think Finnish, which you didn’t even write your post or response in, played more of a role in the name Wario than English… Sorry, but like no (is how people who speak English would write it. So dramatic…)
