How to put it together
- 1
Choose your character: one person dresses as the stocky Wario, and the other as the tall, lanky Waluigi.
- 2
Put on the base shirts: Wario wears the bright yellow short-sleeve shirt, while Waluigi wears the deep purple long-sleeve shirt.
- 3
Layer on the overalls, adjusting the straps so they sit comfortably over the shirts.
- 4
Put on the white costume gloves, ensuring Wario's gloves show the blue 'W' and Waluigi's show the yellow upside-down 'L' on the backs of the hands.
- 5
Apply the adhesive mustaches to clean, dry skin just above the upper lip.
- 6
Top off the look with the matching character caps, adjusting them to sit straight on your heads.
Makeup & hair
Keep hair tucked neatly under the caps. For Waluigi, you can optionally apply light blue or purple eyeshadow around the eyes to mimic his sunken, dramatic gaming look.
