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.
