So who is this evil Mario lookalike with the V on his hat?

The manga "Super Mario Bros. Detective Adventure" Seems to have a Wario-lookalike, complete with a big red nose. He has a "V" on his cap, and predates Wario himself as this book was written in 1987. Other things to note is Luigi's colours, as well as the Goomba having hands!

He is literally the wicked impostor of Mario, although the design reminds me of the Super Show one. But the main question is: Why is Luigi red?
 
That is very interesting
And while I think it's a funny coincidence more then anything, considering the similarities to Wario, I wouldn't be too shocked if Wario's creation was influenced by him in some fashion. (Though as I said, I think it's just a coincidence really.)

The real question though is what exactly is the deal here?
reptile and bird characters, a mysterious gem, a early Wario lookalike, red Luigi, a Goomba with arms, all of that with a detective storyline on top of it all?

Damn! I don't know about you, but I would be very interested in seeing what lies within this strange and mysterious manga.

But honestly though I think he's just some weird ass Mario lookalike who has nothing to do with the real Wario. Or any canon Mario story for that matter. Just look at that Goomba with arms.
Or how weird and out of canon Princess Peach looks. And don't even get me started about that ¨Luigi.¨
 
That makes me wonder; do you think there'll ever be a chance Nintendo may actually add a third Mario brother? Cause that would be one hell of a way to get attention for a new Mario game or what not...
The idea doesn't seem to far-fetched, assuming its a plot in one of the RPGs i think having a permanent third Mario Bro just wouldn't feel right. Would they really do that after over 30 years of just 2 bros.

Though it'd be funny if they use the design of this guy with the "V" hat and have him be lying and he's not actually related.

Would he be @The 3rd Wario Brother's good counterpart
Hah, maybe! Or maybe he'll be even more evil instead!
Good or bad, if that wretched 3rd Mario Brother shows his face on these here Forums he better watch his back!

At some point Miyamoto said:
“I don’t know what types of games I’m going to make in the future… Perhaps there will come a day when Mario needs a third brother, and so at that point maybe we’ll create him.”
Could be Stanley the Bugman?
 
I feel like a "Third Mario Brother" would be the sort of thing to show up as a one-off gimmick in a Mario & Luigi game. Like, "Mario & Luigi & Bruno", and there's a third brother for the game, and you can do three person attacks and stuff. And then he's forever relegated to background cameos in future RPGs
