The Twist Dunk is Waluigi's Special Shot in Mario Hoops 3-on-3. It can be activated by tapping a "W" twice. The sequence begins with Waluigi dribbling the ball in a "W" shape.[1] Waluigi throws the ball, which is obscured by a cyclone for cosmetic effect (similar to Whirluigi from Mario Power Tennis), then he swims in midair (like Swimming Return in said game). If Twist Dunk is used outside of the three-point line, Waluigi does not swim, and passes the ball for a teammate to dunk instead.[2]
