'''Flutters''' (also called '''Flying Wigglers'''<ref | |||
'''Flutters''' (also called '''Flying Wigglers'''<ref>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. {{media link|SMW2 Guide 126.jpg|Page 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 | [[File:SMA3 GO! GO! MARIO!! Screenshot.png|thumb|A Flying Wiggler in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'']] | ||
Flying Wigglers are only seen in the level [[GO! GO! MARIO!!]]. Just before the goal, a swarm of Flying Wigglers appear over a flat turf. They fly forward 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]]. | |||
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', a few Flying Wigglers also appear at the beginning of the secret level, [[Endless World of Yoshis]]. | |||

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.

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 jumped on however, they charge in Yoshi's direction. Their angry appearance has their original nose color, along with some other changes. | |||

[[File:FlutterSuperMarioKun.png|thumb|An angry Flutter after Mario has plucked its flower]] | |||
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 moth-like form after [[Bowser]] and a [[Magikoopa]] replace the flower on its head with a [[Muncher]]. It otherwise looks very little like Flutter, notably having its nose interpreted as a pair of pincers. | |||
In volume 14 of the ''Super Mario-Kun'', a Flutter gets infuriated after Mario plucks a flower off of it. | |||
===''Tetris Attack''=== | ===''Tetris Attack''=== | ||
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]]. | A Flying Wiggler appears in ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', which depicts it as a friend of [[Yoshi]] rather than an enemy.

[[File:Flutter Orb.jpg|thumb|120px|left|A Flutter Orb in ''Mario Party 7'']] | |||
Flutters once again appear in the Flutter Orb in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. It also appears in the minigame [[Spider Stomp]], where it is kidnapped and has to be rescued. | |||
===''Mario Party'' | ====''Mario Party 8''==== | ||
Flutter also makes several cameos in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. It can be found in the minigames [[Specter Inspector]] as one of the hiding enemies (found in the piano), [[Moped Mayhem]] as a racer, and in the minigame contest [[Test for the Best]], holding the 4,000 points sign. | |||
====''Mario Party: Island Tour''==== | |||
[[File:Star-CrossedSkywayIntro.png|thumb|left|Flutter in ''Mario Party: Island Tour'']] | |||
Flutter appears in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. On the [[Star-Crossed Skyway]] board, Flutter appears in the first, second, and last Star Stages. It gives out ten [[Mini Star]]s to the player who reaches it. It retains its updated nose from ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. | |||

[[File:SMP image3.png|thumb|Bowser buying an item from Flutter's item shop]] | |||
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.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGdhz_Ggigo Showing Off The Flutter Ice Cream Event] "Youtube"</ref> | |||

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. | 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.

Flutters reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' during the level [[Weighing Acorns]] where they are seen flying above flower platforms and later on when Yoshi is on a bus ride. 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. | Flutters reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' during the level [[Weighing Acorns]] where they are seen flying above flower platforms and later on when Yoshi is on a bus ride.

Flutters were originally going to appear in [[World-e]] of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', but were left unused likely due to the discontinuation of the [[e-Reader]]. They were to have the same behavior as in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. | |||

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', there is a location called the [[Forgotten Isle]] that is inhabited by [[Tropical Wiggler]]s. There is a mission on this isle titled "[[List of Power Moons in the Lost Kingdom|A Butterfly's Treasure]]" that features a large, colorful butterfly. ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]'' directly suggests that this butterfly is an adult form of the Tropical Wigglers.<ref name=SMOArt>Kazuya Sakai (ed.). ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]''.
