Within the game's data is a text file labeled "zzzz.zzz". Opening it reveals a message from a developer by the name of "Dave C." (presumably David Catlin, the game's technical director) which explains that it was a dummy file added in as a workaround for an issue that prevents the last 32 bytes of data on the disc from reading properly; the name "zzzz.zzz" thus ensures that it is always placed at the end of the alphabetically sorted file library.

"The inspiration for that came from quite frankly like the shape – even though it’s a ‘V’, we thought it was a representation of part of the ‘W’, so that’s sort of his way of connecting into his first initial. Waluigi, we kind of depicted him as being – yeah, he’s a bit, I don’t know, a bit edgier than Wario. Wario’s kind of on-the-nose in terms of a bad guy, and Waluigi, we just wanted to explore him a bit more. He’s actually kind of mean to his sidekicks too. They’re both mean to their sidekicks but Wario’s about self-loathing and Waluigi is about blame, and everybody else has done something wrong."
The animation was also used in the game's sequel Mario Strikers Charged.
