| '''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==
| | '''Whittles''' are a species appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in several [[Galaxy|galaxies]], notably [[Tall Trunk Galaxy]]. They are small, humanoid figures with geometric heads and bodies made entirely out of wood, with the exception of a single leaf on their heads. Whittles are 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 him or her with a [[Power Star|symbol of courage]]. They also consider the giant tree at the center of the Tall Trunk Galaxy sacred. They speak with simplified, somewhat incorrect grammar. For example, in [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy]], there was one near the first [[Cloud Flower]] that said:<br> |
| ===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
| | (Before grabbing flower) "Cloud step?"<br> |
| 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.

In this case, Mario must complete the second star in the [[Tall Trunk Galaxy]]. |
