In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', a Wiggler appears as | In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', a Wiggler appears as the boss of [[Tiny-Huge Island]], and appears much larger than the ones in ''Super Mario World''. To reach Wiggler, Mario must go onto the Tiny Island and [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] the pool above Wiggler's house at the very top of the island, then enter the Huge Island and fall through a small gap that cannot be reached on the Tiny Island. Inside, Wiggler is angry with Mario because he has flooded his house, and Wiggler claims he has had bad luck and felt strange ever since he acquired a [[Power Star]]. Mario loses three wedges of [[Health Meter|health]] if he touches Wiggler or its segments. After two [[stomp]]s on its head, the Wiggler is more furious and storms around; after one more stomp, the Wiggler then calms down, shrinks to a more typical size, and leaves the Power Star for Mario, saying that the stars it can now see through its roof at night are enough for it. The shrunken Wiggler will walk around for a moment and then fall through one of the many holes in the floor, either into the abyss or onto a platform (the arena itself is located directly above the cave featuring [[Wiggler's Red Coins]]). Like many circular things in the game, Wiggler's segments and nose are not actually modeled spheres but flat pictures that constantly face the camera. | ||
In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Wiggler's appearance is more in line with his normal look. The segments (aside from the head) still use flat textures but have rotating spots superimposed over them (like the features of [[Bully|Bullies]] and [[Bob-omb]]s) that make them look more spherical. While he has angry eyes and veins throughout the battle, he becomes the typical red "angry" form before his final hit, after which he becomes happy. In this version, Wiggler poses less of a threat, as his segments do not cause damage, while the head damages the player for two wedges of health as opposed to three. The remake also includes a [[minigame]] known as [[Which Wiggler?]] which prominently features Wigglers. Players, with a time limit, have to choose a Wiggler with a correctly matching pattern to the one in the top screen. In the first levels, these Wigglers are sleeping and stationary, but in later levels, some move. If the incorrect pattern is chosen, the Wigglers become angry and ten seconds are deducted from the time limit. | In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Wiggler's appearance is more in line with his normal look.

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.

Wiggler also retains both of its Grand Prix [[rival]]s from ''Mario Kart 7'', these being [[Yoshi]] and [[Shy Guy]].
