Notable Game Appearances
Super Mario World
Wiggler's first appearance in Mario games, when hit, Wiggler will go angry (you can tell because she's red) and start moving fast trying to hurt you. You cannot kill her with jumps but with a Yoshi, Star, or Cape.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Wigglers appear as a common enemy in the Forest Maze. They crawl in and out of tree stumps during this area.
Mario Party 2
Either a Wiggler or a Wigglerfly appears in the Western Land board in Mario Party 2. Her name is Hootenany, the same name as the event she triggers. It is unknown whether it is a Wiggler or a Wigglerfly, as only the head appears.
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
A green bus that closely resembles Wiggler from Super Mario Sunshine, known as the Wiggler Train, appears as moving obstacle on the Mushroom Bridge and Mushroom City racing tracks.
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
Wiggler appears as a boss in the Chuckola Cola chapter. Players fight him during the quest for the Chuckola Fruits.
Mario Kart DS
Wiggler appears as a boss in the unlockable seventh mission set. Players must race him on Mushroom Bridge, and each lap he gets faster. The first lap he is regular, the second lap he has steam rising from his head, and the third and final lap he is angry and red. This game also contains the Wiggler Bus in MKDD!!, as it uses the same level.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
A "Swiggler" appears as the first boss, a Shroob (alien) variant of the Wiggler. The Swiggler regularly drinks glasses of green goo that contain vim (energy) drained from the Mushroom Kingdom's Toad population. The Swiggler attacks by extending tubes from it's hind-gut which plug into Shroob saucers flying overhead, which use the Swiggler's supply of vim to shoot beams of energy at Mario, Luigi, and their baby counterparts.
Mario Power Tennis
Wiggler is an unlockable character in this game. He is a defensive type, like Waluigi. For his power shot, he turns red with anger and whacks the ball with brute strength. His defense power shot allows him to fly. With his temporary wings, he flies to get the ball.
Super Mario Sunshine
Wiggler is a boss in this game. He appears in Episode 3 of Gelato Beach, after being knocked off his resting spot on a tower in Episode 2. He attacks by stomping angrily all over the level. To defeat him, Mario must spray a small Dune Bud growing in the sand. When he sprays it enough it will explode, and if the Wiggler is close it will flip him over. Mario must than Ground Pound on his soft underbelly.
New Super Mario Bros.
Wiggler comes back to a sidescroller in 3-D graphics. The only way to defeat him is to hit him with a Shell, Mega Mushroom, or with a Starman. Also Squiggler are introduced here.
