Contrived 

Something that is created in a way that feels artificial and unrealistic, as apposed to something that arises spontaneously through nature.

Waluigi was only created for the purposes of giving Wario a Tennis Partner; He only exists to be Roster Filler. Contrived because he wasn't created organically through the creators own passion.
