New Super Wario Bros.

Play as either of the Wa-brothers in their first outing together, collecting troves of gold and gem-studded treasures as you pillage your way through dozens of zany minigames. We're not sure Wario and Waluigi have a functioning relationship that is as cooperative as Mario and Luigi's, but if the piggy back ride shown here is any indication, they make an excellent team.

Wario dashes, throws enemies and butt-bashes while Waluigi does whatever it is he does--drives motorcycles and hits tennis balls, maybe. Either way, it's a lethal combination of garlic breath and capitalist venture that will leave you putting more unintelligible "Waahs" in your daily speech than is probably healthy.
