| '''Flutters''' (also called '''Flying Wigglers'''<ref name=guide>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent; Munson, Terry|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|language=en-us|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|page={{file link|SMW2 Guide 126.jpg|126}}}}</ref>) are the winged {{wp|imago}} of [[Wiggler]]s that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. When hit, they act like the normal Wiggler, getting enraged. Instead of flying around aimlessly, though, they charge straight for the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] that hit them. In early games, they had light orange noses contrasting Wigglers' dark brown ones, though most recent appearances give both dark brown noses.

| Flying Wigglers first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' are only seen in the level [[GO! GO! MARIO!!]], as well as appear at the beginning of the secret level, [[Endless World of Yoshis]] in the [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]]. Just before the goal, a swarm of Flying Wigglers appear over a flat turf, flying in a wavy manner. If attacked with an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] or a jump, they turn angry and charge towards [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s current position, disappearing off-screen after a time. Flying Wigglers can cause Yoshi to drop [[Baby Mario]] off his back if they come into contact with him. Yoshi can defeat them with a [[Ground Pound]] or by eating and turning them into an egg. If spat out instead, they fly away. They can also be defeated by touching them as [[Superstar Mario]].

| ====''Yoshi's New Island''====
| |
| Flutters appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' in the level [[Ride the Blarggwich]], where they act slightly different from their original appearance. They simply fly up and down on a predetermined line, like red [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s, and cannot be eaten, though some fly the same as their debut appearance near the end of the level. If angered however, they charge in Yoshi's direction. Their angry appearance has their original nose color, along with some other changes.

| A Flying Wiggler appears in ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', which depicts it as a friend of [[Yoshi]] rather than an enemy. It replaces the jewel fairy, Ruby, from ''[[Tetris Attack#Panel de Pon|Panel de Pon]]''. Flying Wiggler is playable in Time Trial mode, and can be fought and rescued on the Flower Stage in the main Vs. Com mode. In the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version, it is paired with the similarly-themed [[Eggo-Dil]].

| |
| Prior to Flutters' official introduction in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', one Wiggler in volume 6 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' transforms into a [[Battra Hanachan|moth-like form]] after [[Bowser]] and a [[Magikoopa]] replace the flower on its head with a [[Muncher]]. It otherwise looks very little like a Flutter, notably having its nose interpreted as a pair of pincers.

|
| |
|
| In volume 14 of ''Super Mario-kun'', a Flutter gets infuriated after Mario plucks a flower off it.

| |
| Flutters have had various roles in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', and ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', Flutters appear as the [[Flutter Orb]] (titled "Wiggler Capsule" in the former), which can take players to the [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]. Additionally, in ''Mario Party 7'', a Flutter is featured in the minigame [[Spider Stomp]], where it is kidnapped and has to be rescued. In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Flutter appears in a few minigames, including [[Specter Inspector]], as one of the hiding characters (found in the piano); [[Moped Mayhem]] as a racer; and in the minigame contest [[Test for the Best]], holding the 4,000 points sign. In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', Flutter appears at the first, second, and last Star Stages on the [[Star-Crossed Skyway]] board, where it gives out ten [[Mini Star]]s to the player who reaches it. Flutter appears in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' as a non-playable character who owns the item shop. On [[Megafruit Paradise]] and its team-mode variant, [[Watermelon Walkabout]], after passing Flutter's shop, the thermometer next to it rises a small amount every time. When it reaches the top, a giant scoop of ice cream falls and destroys Flutter's shop, and Flutter tells the player that they need to clean it up, making the shop unavailable to all the players for the rest of the game.
| |
| | |
| One particular Flutter appears in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', where she resides on the third floor of the [[Mushroom Condo]]. She is in love with [[Mr. I]], but is also the crush of [[Petal Guy]] who seeks her affection. Petal Guy attempts to win her over with a lovely poem but is rejected in favor of Mr. I, who does not return Flutter's affections toward him.

| |
| Flutter makes its debut in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' as [[Wiggler#Paper Mario: Sticker Star|Wiggler]]'s fully grown and true form. Flutter explains he became his form after eating a plentiful amount of leaves from the forest. Flutter will offer to fly [[Mario]] and [[Kersti]] out to [[Bowser's Sky Castle]]. He also refers to himself as "grown up". In this game it appears with the brown nose of a Wiggler rather than the usual pink nose. Though Wiggler/Flutter can no longer take Mario to the shipwreck in Whitecap Beach, a pipe appears that transports Mario to the southwestern area of the island.

They are invincible and cannot be defeated by any means of attack. If Yoshi angers one, they swoop in his direction. Unlike previously, they will stop being angry after a few seconds. There is also a Flutter Sign [[List of crafts in Yoshi's Crafted World|craft]] that is found on the flip side of [[Spring Sprung Trail]] and serves as its local [[Blockafeller]]'s first souvenir request.
