A piece of official art for Mario Party 4 contains a scene of Waluigi chasing a butterly in the background. Due to the small size of the original picture used on Nintendo’s website, it’s hard to see the details on Waluigi. However, one of the Mario Party e-cards enables us to see the artwork in a higher resolution.
