The Waluigi Arc

The Waluigi Arc (sometimes called Waluigi's Rejection or Waluigi's Rejection Arc) is a story arc on SMG4's channel. It's a series of videos by SMG4 that are part of a story involving Waluigi wreaking havoc after obtaining his secret power due to being rejected in a Smash Bros game for far too long, thus becoming a major villain (and essentially the Big Bad) of the SMG4 series and ultimately taking over the channel for a period of time.

Synopsis
After being rejected from Super Smash Bros. one time too many, Waluigi finds a new power deep within himself: the Power of Rejection. Drunk on his newfound power, Waluigi vows revenge.

He first does so by developing a Zombie Virus causing its victims to slide around in a T-Pose and tricking Shroomy into starting the infection. He manages to infect almost everybody in the Mushroom Kingdom; however, Peach arrives just in time with the cure: 1-Up Mushrooms.

Little did everyone know, this wasn't the end of Waluigi's plan. He sends everybody in the Mushroom Kingdom an invite to his birthday party, which everyone refuses due to him causing the T-Pose Outbreak(Wario would join if he hadn't a date with KFC chicken). This causes his powers to grow to astronomical levels. There is only one problem; Mario accepted the invitation due to the possibility of free food.

And so, in an attempt to get Mario to hate him, Waluigi traps Mario and Luigi in a warehouse, eventually putting them into a situation where it seems one brother must drop themselves into lava to save the other's life. Luigi chooses to sacrifice himself, leaving Mario distraught. However, it turns out the Lava was actually warm Watermelon Kool-Aid. Waluigi washes Luigi out into the sewers. Mario, now angry at Waluigi, rejects his request to be friends, maxing out Waluigi's powers. Waluigi teleports away, leaving Mario trapped in the Warehouse.

Eventually, Wario breaks him out, threatening to put him back unless Mario helps him scam people. The two eventually see Luigi floating down the river. Mario saves his brother, only for Wario to attempt to extort a fee from Luigi for their life-saving services. When Wario threatens to throw Luigi back in the river, Mario comes to his brother's defense, causing Wario to remember all of the good times he had with his brother. Wario vows to "bring Waluigi home."

Mario, Luigi, Meggy and Tari(Mario's latest friend) attend a convention. Meggy and Mario attempt to get Hideo Kojima's autograph for their friends, only to find out that he is actually Waluigi in disguise. Meggy pushes Mario to safety, exposing herself to the T-Pose Virus. Mario attempts to revive her with a 1-Up Mushroom, only to find that this version of the Virus has no cure. Mario, SMG4, and Fishy Boopkins are the only ones to escape the Convention Hall without being T-Posed.

Tari manages to remain in the Convention Hall unseen, and accidentally infuses her NES controller with the Power of Rejection by hitting Waluigi's Staff of Rejection with it.

Mario and SMG4 attempt to stop Waluigi, but Mario falls out of SMG4's bus along the way. He is nearly infected, only for Saiko Bichitaru to rescue him in the nick of time. They reach the convention hall and attempt to destroy the Staff of Rejection, only for Saiko to be T-Posed, leaving Mario and SMG4 at Waluigi's mercy.

After forcing Mario and SMG4 through a number of challenges, Waluigi takes control of Mario's body and attempts to kill SMG4. Tari arrives just in time to take control of SMG4's body with her controller, allowing him to dodge Mario and Waluigi's onslaught of attacks and destroy the Staff of Rejection, curing the T-Pose Virus and allowing Mario to have control of his body again.

After a brief fight, Wario arrives and takes Waluigi to a therapist, where Wario tells Waluigi that he still loves him, causing Waluigi to lose the power of rejection and return to normal. The two hug as the rest of the cast go off to play some video games.

Trivia

 * This arc was inspired by the fans who protested against Waluigi's position as a measly Assist Trophy rather than a playable fighter in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate.
 * As a tie-in to the arc, starting with Mario SAW, Waluigi appeared on SMG4's channel banner, and as the videos progressed, Waluigi got closer and closer to the front of the banner. After War of the Fat Italians 2018, the banner returned to normal, marking the (assumed) end of the arc.
 * Despite being released months before the Waluigi Arc was even conceived, SMG4: Mario waits for pizza is canon in this timeline as confirmed by a flashback in SMG4: The Mario Convention!
 * After SMG4: The Mario Convention!, an official playlist for the arc was created in SMG4's channel.
 * Mario seems to undergo some character development around this arc (e.g. caring more about his brother's safety).
 * There is a video that explains how Luke & Kevin came up with and developed the episodes of The Waluigi Arc.
