'''Swiggler''' is a large, [[Shroob]]-created, bio-mechanical robot [[Wiggler]] that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi Partners in Time]]''. It acts as the boss of the [[Toadwood Forest]] and the game's first boss. Swiggler has the unique ability to transform the [[vim]] sucked from [[Toad (species)|Toads]] into a fuel source for the Shroob's flying saucers. Swiggler resides in the top floor of the [[Vim Factory]]. In the factory, Swiggler will drink vim and use special chemicals inside its body, which transforms the vim into fuel. [[Shroob UFO]]s will then attach themselves to Swiggler with special conducts, powering up the flying saucers. 

[[File:MLPiT Swiggler screenshot.png|thumb|left|Mario, Luigi, their counterparts and Swiggler battling.]]
During the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] confront Swiggler inside the Vim Factory after Baby Mario hits his Glass of Vim with his [[Hammer]]. In battle, Swiggler can shoot poisonous clouds at the brothers. These attacks can be countered with hammer hits, with some taking two hits to stop. Since these clouds are poisonous they might [[poison (status effect)|poison]] the bros if they do not counter with the hammer. Swiggler also has a glass of green Vim, which it will drink and power-up nearby Shroob UFOs. This allows the flying saucers to shoot energy blasts at Mario and Luigi. Fortunately, the brothers can [[jump]] over these blasts to avoid damage. The left blast will shoot at Mario and the right blast will shoot at Luigi; however, they can swap places.

Attacking Swiggler proves to be relatively useless, as the monster has extremely high [[defense]] and will always counterattack (with an ''!'') the Mario quartet with several shockwaves immediately afterwards, forcing the heroes to [[jump]] to avoid them. This attack comes in addition to Swiggler's regular attacks that comes in on its turn.

During the fight, Swiggler is aided by two [[Dr. Shroob]] guards. If one is destroyed, another Dr. Shroob will appear to take its place. The Dr. Shroobs behave exactly as they always had prior to the quartet's encounter with Swiggler: they will use red and gray Shroob mushrooms to grow and shrink, respectively, attacking once they assume the new form. These Dr. Shroobs unintentionally aid in Swiggler's demise. By attacking them, the brothers can knock the Shroob mushrooms usable by the Dr. Shroobs into Swiggler's Vim drink. If a gray Shroob mushroom is knocked in, Swiggler will become sickly weak upon drinking it, lowering its defense, and making it unable to attack. This presents a perfect opportunity for attack. Regardless, Swiggler will always return to normal after a few turns. On the other hand, if a red mushroom is knocked in, the solution will heal Swiggler by either 86, 71, 41 or 21 HP.

After the battle, Swiggler is destroyed, and a [[Cobalt Star|Cobalt Shard]] is discovered, which makes the Mario Bros. and their counterparts emerge victorious. However, the victory ends as a partial loss; [[Baby Bowser]] arrives and steals the Cobalt Shard (which is the one the heroes got at [[Bowser's Castle|Baby Bowser's Castle]]), jumps in his [[Koopa Clown Car]] and with [[Kamek]], flies to [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]].

==Trivia==
*Swiggler's name is a portmanteau of the word "Wiggler" and the word "swig", a small sip.
*During the battle, the four Mario Bros. will be awarded [[Experience Point]]s and [[Coin]]s for every Dr. Shroob that is defeated, meaning the player can delay the end of the fight to boost their stats and maximize their EXP.<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/mlpit_guide.shtml TMK Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time Enemy Guide]</ref>
*Even though the Swiggler is a source of the Shroob UFOs' power, they continue to run even after he is defeated, meaning that he might be one of many sources for energy.
*The energy blasts that the Shroob UFOs shoot during one of Swiggler's attacks, if looked at closely, the fireballs are actually purple [[Bullet Bill]]s coated in fire.

-'''Swiggler''' is a large, [[Shroob]]-created, bio-mechanical green [[Wiggler]] with yellow spots that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', who acts as the boss of the [[Vim Factory]] in [[Toadwood Forest]] and is found on the bottom floor of the factory. Its name is a portmanteau of "Wiggler" and "swig". It has the unique ability to transform the [[vim]] sucked from [[Toad (species)|Toads]] into a fuel source for the Shroobs' [[Shroob saucer]]s. It drinks vim from a glass and then transfers it into the saucers via tubes in its body to which they connect. It is the first boss to be fought by all four Mario brothers.
-==Design==
-Swiggler, as with other Wigglers, resembles a giant caterpillar with a segmented, yellow-spotted body made up of spheres and with a pair of legs with shoes on each segment. However, unlike its normal counterpart, it sports a tubular mouth, glowing eyes with black sclerae, antenna-like structures on top of its head and tail, and pointed shoes with yellow tips. Normally, Swiggler has a green body with red eyes and head antenna, but when angered, its body turns red and its eyes and antenna yellow. When ill, its body turns seafoam green with beige spots and its eyes and both its antennae turn red while the creature's antennae droop. Its tail antenna is also capable of extending and turning into a white, forked pair of plugs used to charge Shroob saucers.
