GamesBeat: You are known as a fierce competitor in racing, tennis, and golf. Do you plan to bring that same tenacity to the world of fashion?

Waluigi: WALUIGI TIME!! WAAAAA!!

His responses to the rest of our questions were pretty much the same, although we think that he might be secretly hinting at an appearance in the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake.
