'''Wigglers''' are a species of caterpillar that first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' | '''Wigglers''' are a species of caterpillar that first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They are yellow and move casually while calm, but turn red and run angrily about if [[jump]]ed on. Wigglers are easily identifiable by their characteristic flower or other plants growing from their heads, which can lose their petals if Wigglers are enraged. Wigglers appear usually as enemies, but some are allies and even playable. | ||
Wigglers have some variants of their own, notably [[Flutter]]s, which Wigglers seem to transform into Flutters immediately (or temporarily, in some cases such as ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'') without going through a cocoon stage as typical real-world caterpillars do. On the other side, [[Squiggler]]s appear to be a younger variant of Wiggler suggested by its appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', though this is not confirmed. [[Big Wiggler|Larger variants]] of Wigglers also appear. | |||

Wigglers reappear as enemies in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They function the same as previous games except in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' game style, as they will not dance when the vocals occur. In the Course Maker, the player can put regular Wigglers or shake them to turn them into their mad red variant. Like most objects, they can be enlarged by a [[Super Mushroom]] to transform them to [[Big Wiggler]] or be given wings, which makes them jump in a high arc while walking. They can be placed in [[Warp Pipe]]s, [[Bill Blaster]]s, [[Block]]s, [[Koopa Clown Car]]s, [[Lakitu's Cloud]]s, and on [[track]]s. | Wigglers reappear as enemies in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''==== | |||
While Wigglers themselves do not appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', a new variant called the [[Tropical Wiggler]] is introduced. It is a colorful Wiggler capable of stretching its body, appearing only in the [[Lost Kingdom]] and the [[Moon Kingdom]]. Mario can use [[Cappy]] to [[capture]] one to travel over the [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]] that fills the area. | |||
[[Mechawiggler]], a massive insectoid robot based on the Wiggler, appears as one of the many bosses fought in the game. It is found at night in the [[Metro Kingdom]]. It has five glowing orange eyes, with a cyan and pink {{wp|plasma globe}} embedded into each segment including the head, and yellow electricity-producing rods surrounding said globes. Despite the lack of physical resemblance, Mechawiggler gets angry and charges like one after taking enough damage. | |||

Wigglers reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', and function mostly the same as they do in ''Super Mario Maker''; they can be turned into their angry variant or big variant, and can be given wings or a parachute. In the nighttime ground theme, they will float instead of walking on the ground. If one is bounced out of the water from underneath, the game crashes. | Wigglers reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', and function mostly the same as they do in ''Super Mario Maker''; they can be turned into their angry variant or big variant, and can be given wings or a parachute.

In ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'', Mario and Luigi encounter a Wiggler while hiding from [[Yoshi]] (who they think is trying to eat them). When Luigi realizes he is sitting on the Wiggler and panics, Mario jumps on the Wiggler's head, which only makes it angry. The Wiggler starts chasing them until they run into Yoshi, who gobbles it down. Wigglers are also seen among the crowd later in the story when Bowser is ready to marry Princess Toadstool. | In ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'', Mario and Luigi encounter a Wiggler while hiding from [[Yoshi]] (who they think is trying to eat them).

In battle, Wigglers attack by slamming into [[party member]]s, shooting droplets of water at them, or using [[Sand Storm]]. When hit with a physical attack, they respond by using the move [[Vigor Up]], raising their own attack power. An unused red palette exists in the original game's data, which may have been intended for when this happens, similar to other games. | In battle, Wigglers attack by slamming into [[party member]]s, shooting droplets of water at them, or using [[Sand Storm]].

A green bus that closely resembles the Wiggler from ''Super Mario Sunshine'', known as the Wiggler Wagon, appears in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' as a moving obstacle on the [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]] and [[Mushroom City]] racing tracks. Crashing into it will deal a heavy blow to racers, resulting in their items being lost. According to early screenshots, it seems multiple Wiggler Wagons were planned to appear on Mushroom City. | |||

A Wiggler appears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as a boss in the unlockable seventh and final mission set, where Mario must race it on {{classic-link|GCN|Mushroom Bridge}}. Each new lap increases Wiggler's speed as it becomes more frustrated, evident by steam rising from its head in the second lap, and turning bright red in the final lap. During the final lap, Wiggler has notably higher speed and varied movement, as it crosses the shortcut and moves in a serpentine pattern at the bridge. Throughout the course, Mario can find [[Item Box]]es to get [[Super Star]]s and [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]s. It is the only boss in the game who causes Mario to lose a balloon if he comes into contact with it. | A Wiggler appears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as a boss in the unlockable seventh and final mission set, where Mario must race it on {{classic-link|GCN|Mushroom Bridge}}.

A Wiggler appears as a boss at [[Chucklehuck Woods]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. It is fought while [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are looking for [[Chuckola Fruit]]s, and is first encountered sticking out of a small hole in the wall. Mario and Luigi jump on its segments, knocking it into the hole. After the Wiggler enters the hole, [[Mini-Mario]] tries to enter the hole, but runs away after seeing the enraged Wiggler. The Wiggler then engages Mario and Luigi in a battle. In battle, the Wiggler can be damaged only after all of its segments are attacked, temporarily calming it and allowing Mario and Luigi to damage its head. Any attacks to the head that does not defeat it simply enrages it, causing it to stomp and create a shock wave that can damage Mario and Luigi. Its normal attack is to charge directly ahead, allowing for its segments to be stomped on. After it is defeated, it runs away crying, and it is not seen again. | A Wiggler appears as a boss at [[Chucklehuck Woods]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.

After Mario and Luigi arrive and are spotted by Popple, he enrages Wiggler by calling him a moth and drags the Bros. into a battle against him. | ||

Wiggler is an unlockable character in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', marking its first playable role. Unlike in other appearances, this Wiggler's body is curved upwards and has two gloved hands to hold a tennis racket. It is a defensive type, like [[Waluigi]]. It has the best reach in the game, but its swing ends slowly, and it lacks power and speed. Its power shot is [[Anger Management]], where it becomes mad and spins and hits the ball. Receivers that do not use their defensive power shot are knocked back and spun in a tornado, making lunges difficult. Its [[Flutter Return|defensive power shot]] allows it to morph into a [[Flutter]] and fly to get the ball. If Wiggler wins, it becomes overjoyed and becomes a Flutter, but when it loses, it transforms into its angry form and throws a temper tantrum. As with all characters, this Wiggler has a trophy-winning sequence. Luigi and Diddy Kong present Wiggler its trophy, but Diddy Kong accidentally kicks a tennis ball which causes Wiggler to trip. Diddy Kong and Luigi anticipate its anger, but Wiggler notices its trophy and calms. Luigi goes to it to see if Wiggler is okay, but Diddy then trips on the ball, falling onto both Luigi and Wiggler. Luigi and Diddy Kong then panic and flee as Wiggler turns red with anger and begins to chase them. | Wiggler is an unlockable character in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', marking its first playable role.

A Wiggler appears as a major character in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. In 3-1, [[Leaflitter Path]], he is sleeping and guarding the entrance of his treehouse. Upon being woken up by Mario via the Trumpet thing, he explains his predicament and asks Mario to come over to his house to hear the details. He then exclaims how he would love for Mario to "look at Wiggler's [[Wiggler's Diary|picture diary]]" and "listen to Wiggler reminisce". However, while doing this, he is captured by [[Poison Blooper]]s and subsequently split into [[Wiggler Segment|pieces]] by [[Kamek]] (or, as he calls, his "children"). It is later revealed that Kamek did this as a means to dissuade Mario from attempting to get the purple Royal Sticker, as Wiggler is the only entity besides a boat that is capable of travelling to the island where the Royal Sticker was located. Wiggler was sleeping outside of his home because he could not find any food. Since the leaves were polluted, he set out to find food. When Mario finds his segments, Wiggler helps him to get to the source of the pollution, which is revealed to be the purple Royal Sticker on [[Gooper Blooper]]. He later ages into a [[Flutter#Paper Mario: Sticker Star|Flutter]] and helps Mario and [[Kersti]] get to [[Bowser's Sky Castle]]. | A Wiggler appears as a major character in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''.

Wigglers, since their initial incarnation in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', are depicted as large yellow caterpillars with large brown noses, puffed out cheeks, a small flower on their heads, wearing shoes. Wigglers also have orange spots scattered throughout their bodies, and the patterns of these orange spots are variable, emphasized in the ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' minigame [[Which Wiggler?]] When Wigglers are angry, they turn red and sometimes lose either their flower petals as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' or even the entire flower as in ''Super Mario Maker''. In other instances, however, such as in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', the flower is intact. Wigglers in ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games are generally about half Mario's height and have five segments, including the head. | Wigglers, since their initial incarnation in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', are depicted as large yellow caterpillars with large brown noses, puffed out cheeks, a small flower on their heads, wearing shoes.

Wigglers have made a few varied appearances, however. Wigglers in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' cartoon]] are shown to be completely red and more hostile than the ones in the game, have sharp teeth, and make realistic wild animal-like noises. The Wiggler in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' is golden-colored and lacks spots, although its appearance in the remake has been revamped to resemble the more common depiction of Wigglers. In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the Wiggler is also different from the usual ones, being green and much larger than Mario. Finally, some Wigglers have arms to allow them to play baseball as in ''Mario Super Sluggers'', tennis as in ''Mario Power Tennis'', and even boxing in ''Game & Watch Gallery 4''. In these incarnations, they wear gloves instead of shoes. Gloves and shoes, however, may be interchangeable since the Wiggler in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' is directly shown transforming his shoes into hands. The size and number of segments can also vary. For instance, the Wiggler in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' towers over Mario, an [[:File:Size chart.jpg|official size chart]] shows a Wiggler (without the flower) as roughly as tall as Mario, and Wigglers are huge as obstacles in ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart DS''. Wigglers can be shown with many more segments such as in ''Mario Party 9'', in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', and in ''Hotel Mario'' (though they can be shortened in ''Hotel Mario'').

Wigglers, though still capable of hurting Mario and his allies, are usually shown to have a calm and gentle disposition by their ambling appearance, but they are easily angered and become aggressive. For instance, the ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' badge for Wiggler describes them as "easily vexed," and Wiggler's offensive Power Shot in ''Mario Power Tennis'' is "Anger Management." While stomping them usually provokes them, Wigglers appear to ignore fireballs and bigger Wigglers ignore Mario completely. Some Wigglers already appear angry such as in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', ''[[Mario Party Star Rush]]'', ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' to serve as faster-moving obstacles for the player. There are some Wigglers, as other common enemies, that can be friendly and even helpful. A number of Wigglers have been allies, and in cases, including in ''Mario Party DS'' and ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', they have requested Mario and his friends to help. Bowser is not often shown directly commanding Wigglers as he does with Goombas and Koopa Troopas, although in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Bowser can create a Wiggler for a boss fight and can also spawn a Wiggler in [[Bowser's Block Battle]]. | Wigglers, though still capable of hurting Mario and his allies, are usually shown to have a calm and gentle disposition by their ambling appearance, but they are easily angered and become aggressive.
