Editing Wiggler

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', a large Wiggler appears in [[Gelato Beach]], sleeping on the [[Shine Tower]] in the second episode, [[Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam!]] This Wiggler is blocking light from entering the [[Sand Bird]] inside the egg, preventing the Sand Bird from hatching. [[Plungelo]]s, meanwhile, are disrupting the mirrors that can shine light on the egg. Once Mario defeats the Plungelos and enables the mirrors to aim correctly at the Sandbird egg, the Wiggler is removed and allows the Sandbird egg to hatch. This apparently only enrages the Wiggler, however, since Mario encounters it again, angry and as a boss directly in the next episode, [[Wiggler Ahoy! Full Steam Ahead!]] The Wiggler attacks by attempting to charge into Mario, and train whistle sound effects can be heard. To defeat it, Mario must spray a small [[Dune Bud]] growing in the sand. When he sprays the Dune Bud enough, it explodes into certain shapes like pyramids and domes. If the Wiggler is stomping on the formation the Dune Bud created, it will flip and slide on its back. Mario must than [[Ground Pound]] on a designated segment, indicated by an arrow. When the Wiggler is hit twice, it can climb the hill and moves even faster. After being defeated, it turns into sand and dissolves, leaving behind a [[Shine Sprite]].

Wiggler makes its first playable ''Mario Kart'' appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. It takes on a design similar to its design from ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', but notably has one fewer body segment, with four arms and two feet. Its lower pair of arms hold the steering wheel, and its top pair of arms spread out when it gets a speed boost. If Wiggler is being played as, and gets hit with an item or runs into an obstacle, it will get angry and turn red temporarily, though this does not affect gameplay. This extended animation is unique to Wiggler within the entire ''Mario Kart'' series. Wiggler also enters its angry red form during its losing animation. Like [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Rosalina]], Wiggler is a part of the Cruiser weight class, and as a result, its speed, weight, and off-road stats get an above average boost. Wiggler is unlocked by placing first in the 150cc [[Leaf Cup]]. Wiggler reuses its artwork from ''Mario Super Sluggers''; this creates an inconsistency as it only has one pair of arms and five segments in its artwork but has two pairs of arms and four segments in-game.  

Although no Wigglers physically appear in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' or the initial release of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', these games include the [[Wild Wiggler]] ATV, which is designed after a Wiggler.

In the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC, Big Wigglers return in {{classic|Wii|Maple Treeway}} and {{classic|Tour|Madrid Drive}}, while one was added to {{classic-link|DS|Mario Circuit}}.<ref>{{cite|author=任天堂ホームページ|date=March 2, 2023|url=youtu.be/tX38Lfia-qw|title=DS マリオサーキット|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=March 2, 2023}}</ref> A silhouette of a Wiggler appears during the staff credits for the ''Booster Course Pass''.

Wiggler notably possesses the highest speed stat among all medium-sized drivers. Like in ''Mario Kart 7'', it retains its four-segment body and becomes temporarily angry after getting hit by an item or obstacle or failing a [[Rocket Start]]. Unlike in ''Mario Kart 7'', its top pair of arms no longer spread out when it gets a speed boost and are now used to hold items from Item Boxes. It also briefly turns angry in its anti-gravity-specific trick animation when riding a bike or ATV. It uses an orange [[Peach Parasol (glider)|Peach Parasol]] unlike in ''Mario Kart 7'', making it one of the few characters to use a recolor of this glider. Wiggler also retains both of its Grand Prix [[rival]]s from ''Mario Kart 7'', these being [[Yoshi]] and [[Shy Guy]]. Unlike in ''Mario Kart 7'', When Wiggler loses, it no longer turns into its red angry form; it instead does a sad animation like most other characters. It is also the only character to still have two hands on the steering wheel/handlebars when holding an item due to having four arms.

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''). Additionally, the playable Wiggler in the ''Mario Kart'' series has four segments rather than the usual five.
