Wiggler

- For other uses, see Wiggler (disambiguation)}}}.
is the caterpillar-like creature in the Mario series of games. It made its first appearance in Super Mario World, where it first displayed its trademark characteristic of becoming red and enraged when jumped on by Mario, Luigi, or Yoshi. It usually has a yellow color. When it's calm, it wears a flower on its head. However, when it becomes angry its eyes become white and enraged, it loses its flower, and its body becomes red. Later, it appeared in various other Mario titles, including Super Mario 64, , New Super Mario Bros., and Super Mario 64 DS. Wiggler underwent some major changes in Super Mario Sunshine where it multiplied its size tenfold and turned its body green, though since it is set in a place separate to the Mushroom Kingdom it is likely it is the native Wiggler. A flying Wiggler is known as Flutter.Wigglers were seen occasionally in the animated series that spun off of the game. However, on the show, they were called "Caterpillars", and were always drawn like they had already been stomped.

Notable Game Appearances
A Wiggler resides on Tiny-Huge Island, where it is featured as a boss. In order to reach it, Mario has to perform a ground pound on the mountain's caldera, causing it to cave in and drain the water into the crater. Mario must then switch sizes, rescale the mountain, and fall through the crater. Wiggler will be visibly upset that the roof in its lair has caved in, and will attempt to run down Mario. After Wiggler is defeated, it shrinks and disappears through the floor. In the Nintendo DS version, Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi can also encounter it, and when stomped on twice, it turns red; a characteristic missing in the original Nintendo 64 version. :)
On a few forest levels you'll see wiggler walking by. If you jump on his head all his sections disappear one by one. If you jump on one of his sections it disappears and he turns blue. If you continue doing this he will stay blue until he is down to two sections left and he'll turn green.
Wiggler Bus.
A green metro/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.
Wiggler appears as a boss in the Chuckola Cola chapter. Players fight it during the quest for the Chuckola Fruits.
Wiggler appears as a boss in the unlockable seventh mission set. Players must race it on Mushroom Bridge, and each lap it gets faster.

Wiggler is an unlockable character in this game. It is a defensive type, like Waluigi. For its power shot, it turns red with anger and whacks the ball with brute strength. Its defense power shot allows it to fly. With its temporary wings, it flies to get the ball. An interesting note is that this Wiggler stands up on its hind legs.
Wiggler is a boss in Episode 3 of Gelato Beach, after being knocked off its resting spot on a tower in Episode 2. It attacks by stomping angrily all over the level, running so fast that it is almost impossible to dodge in it head-on. It transforms into sand immediately after being defeated.
Wiggler appears as the boss of Fury Volcano. It is defeated in a similar way to Super Mario Sunshine; by stomping spring-like pegs to flip it over, then attacking the weak spot. It, like most of the game's bosses, guards a Toad.
World 4-4 prominately features Wigglers. World 7-3 begins in an area containing two Wigglers and a pipe. The pipe drops the player onto a giant Wiggler, whose back is the setting for almost the entire rest of the level. World 7-A contains many baby Wigglers, known as Squigglers.
