{{quote|Our people. Brave.|Whittle|Super Mario Galaxy 2}}
'''Whittles''' are a species of tree spirits appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are small, humanoid figures with geometric heads and bodies made entirely out of wood. They appear in numerous galaxies as helpful characters with often simple yet incorrect grammar. Their heads appear to be cut from tree logs, and still feature part of the tree's bark on one side, including a small leaf growing from it. Their heads can be in one of three different shapes: A 90° sector of a log resembling a cube with a rounded side, a 120° sector of log resembling a large pie slice and a long, slightly curved, isosceles triangle cut from a larger log. Their name is taken from the word "whittle", which means to carve something out of wood. It may also be taken as a corruption of "little" due to their small stature.

==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
Whittles appear in several [[Galaxy|galaxies]], including the [[Tall Trunk Galaxy]], where they appear in all of the missions. In the first mission, they teach Mario how to use the [[Blimp Fruit]] on [[Yoshi]] and later on they tell Mario to slide down the gigantic slide to prove his bravery. They are shown to be a very proud and brave race; due to this, they like to prove their bravery by sliding down the big slide in their galaxy and surviving its trials. When someone proves their worth, the Whittles reward them with a [[Power Star]], a symbol of courage. They also consider the giant tree at the center of the Tall Trunk Galaxy sacred.

Whittles also appear in [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy]] and [[Cloudy Court Galaxy]], where they teach Mario how to use the [[Cloud Flower]]; [[Hightail Falls Galaxy]], where they teach him how to use the [[Dash Pepper]]; and in [[The Adventure of the Purple Coins]] in [[Clockwork Ruins Galaxy]], where they tell him how many [[Purple Coin]]s he should have at certain points.

Whittles are another species which will appear on [[Starship Mario]] after Mario obtains the second star in the Tall Trunk Galaxy.

In the game's [[List of Super Mario Galaxy 2 pre-release and unused content|E3 2009 trailer]], Whittles are shown to inhabit the [[Puzzle Plank Galaxy]], but this was cut from the final game.

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 9''====

In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', a Whittle is the one who places the logs to be chopped and Bob-ombs to be dodged by the players in the minigame [[Logger Heads]]. Two Whittles that differ in appearance with the others also appear in the background. They also appear in the background of the [[Mario Party 9#Step It Up|Step It Up]] minigame mode, and they congratulate the winning player when they reach the top of the tree. There is also a [[List of constellations in Mario Party 9|constellation]] of them, called Timberheads.

====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====

====''Mario Party: The Top 100''====
In ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', Whittles return in the [[Logger Heads]] minigame, having the same role as ''Mario Party 9''.
