'''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. | '''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. Swiggler's name is a portmanteau of the word "Wiggler" and the word "swig", a small sip. Swiggler 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. | ||

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, and might [[poison (status effect)|poison]] the brothers if not countered. Swiggler also has a glass of green vim, which it drinks and uses to power-up nearby Shroob saucers. This allows them to shoot energy blasts at Mario and Luigi. The brothers can [[jump]] over these blasts to avoid damage. | In battle, Swiggler can shoot poisonous clouds at the brothers.

Attacking Swiggler proves to be relatively useless, as it has extremely high [[defense]] and will always counterattack the brothers with several shockwaves immediately afterwards, forcing them to jump to avoid them. This attack comes in addition to Swiggler's regular attacks. | Attacking Swiggler proves to be relatively useless, as it has extremely high [[defense]] and will always counterattack the brothers with several shockwaves immediately afterwards, forcing them to jump to avoid them.

If one is destroyed, another Dr. Shroob will appear to take its place. The Dr. Shroobs behave exactly as they do in earlier encounters: they use red and gray [[Mushroom]]s to grow and shrink, respectively, attacking once they assume the new form. By attacking them, the brothers can knock the Mushrooms into Swiggler's vim drink. If a gray Mushroom is knocked in, Swiggler will become sick upon drinking it, lowering its defense and making it unable to attack for a few turns. On the other hand, if a red Mushroom is knocked in, the solution will heal Swiggler by either 21, 41, 71, or 86 [[Heart Point|HP]]. | ||
After the battle, Swiggler is destroyed and drops the second [[Cobalt Star]] shard. However, [[Baby Bowser]] arrives and steals both shards in their possession (the first one was acquired in [[Bowser's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|Baby Bowser's Castle]]), jumps in his [[Koopa Clown Car]], and flies to [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] with [[Kamek]]. | After the battle, Swiggler is destroyed and drops the second [[Cobalt Star]] shard.
