Okay so Mario's rival is Wario. It's the M upside down. Neat, cool, I get it. Very clever!
Now, who is Luigi's rival? Does his name make sense? The answers are Waluigi and no. See, Nintendo didn't know they would ever be making 'evil twins' of Mario and Luigi so they didn't make the names reversable. They got lucky with Mario, but Luigi just didn't work. So, when they introduced evil Luigi they did the silliest thing possible and just tacked on the 'Wa' from Wario. Pathetic!
I have a MUCH better idea that would add flavour, culture and a unique subtext to the evil Luigi character. It would also make sense with the hat symbol as the backwards 7 that is currently up there is utter crap - again they tried to copypaste the Wario idea.
Well, without further ado, I present to you........

Jewigi!
Luigi's rival is a man of faith. And not just any faith, Jewish faith! Think of the possibilities! His soundbites could be something like "Oy vey!" and he could spin a dreidel in a victory pose! He could throw matzoh balls in celebration or eat them to regain strength! This character would have depth never before seen in a Nintendo character! Not to mention his hat symbol would now be a J - aka a flipped L!
I should send this to Nintendo.
