A large Wiggler is the boss of [[Tiny-Huge Island]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.

In the original, the circular parts of Wiggler's body are not actually modeled spheres but flat pictures that constantly face the camera, like other circular objects in the game. In the remake, Wiggler's segments, excluding the head, still use flat textures but have rotating spots superimposed over them (like the features of [[Bully|Bullies]] and [[Bob-omb]]s) that make them look more spherical, and although Wiggler has angry eyes and veins throughout the battle, he becomes the typical red "angry" form before his final hit, after which he becomes happy. Additionally, the remake changes Wiggler in that his head inflicts only two units of damage whilst his other segments do none.
 
In the original, the circular parts of Wiggler's body (including the head and nose) are not actually modeled spheres but flat pictures that constantly face the camera, like other circular objects in the game. Additionally, it has no spots on any of its segments, the flower is on the left side of its head and lacks a stem, its shoes are bright red rather than maroon, and its mouth is constantly a slight frown, but is difficult to see under its nose. When it talks to Mario at the beginning of the battle, the camera angle only shows the platform Mario is standing on due to Wiggler being on the other side of it. In the remake, Wiggler has a more typical design based on its ''Super Mario World'' artwork. Its segments, excluding the head, still use flat textures but have rotating spots superimposed over them (like the features of [[Bully|Bullies]] and [[Bob-omb]]s) that make them look more spherical, and although Wiggler has angry eyes and veins throughout the battle, it becomes the typical red "angry" form after two hits, then becomes happy after the final hit. Additionally, the remake changes Wiggler in that his head inflicts only two units of damage whilst his other segments do none. Additionally, the camera angle at the beginning of the battle is changed to show the Wiggler as it says its opening lines, and it is shown dripping with the water Mario let in.


Wigglers appear prominently in the minigame [[Which Wiggler?]] in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. The goal is to choose a Wiggler with a correctly matching pattern to the one in the top screen. The Wigglers are sleeping and stationary in the first levels, but some move in later levels. The Wigglers become angry if the incorrect option is selected, and the player is given a penalty of losing ten seconds from the timer.

Wigglers appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', where they walk either in small circles or around the perimeter of small planets. Mario can [[spin]] a Wiggler or ground-pound nearby it to flip or stun it. A Wiggler is defeated from either a stomp while flipped or being ground pounded on. If the Wiggler either gets back up or is [[stomp]]ed, it turns red, a vein bulges from its head, and the Wiggler begins to chase Mario within a limited area. The Wiggler cools back down after a few seconds.

Wigglers appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are identical as in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', except some Wigglers start off angry. Additionally, some on the [[Tall Trunk's Big Slide]] simply walk forwards up the slide rather than in loops; both the normal and always-angry type can do this. In addition, Big Wigglers appear at the end of [[Supermassive Galaxy]], with the same variance of some being calm and some being constantly angry.

A Wiggler is a boss in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. It is raced by [[Mario]] at {{classic link|GCN|Mushroom Bridge}} at the end of level 7. In the second lap, steam rises from Wiggler's head to indicate agitation, and Wiggler is even angrier in the third and final lap, turning red, moving faster, and having varied movements, many of which involve skipping shortcuts. Wiggler is the only boss who takes a balloon away from the player character on contact.

Wiggler is an unlockable playable character in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. It is part of the Cruiser weight class, so its speed, weight, and off-road stats have an above boost rating. Wiggler is unlocked by completing the 150cc [[Leaf Cup]]. Wiggler shares a design similar to the one introduced in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', but with one fewer body segment, four arms, and two feet; a further discrepancy is Wiggler's artwork being reused from ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', depicting it with only one pair of arms and five segments. Its lower pair of arms hold the steering wheel, and its top pair of arms spread out when it gets a speed boost. Wiggler turns red angrily if its [[kart]] spins out, such as from contact with an obstacle, and during its losing animation. Besides Wigglers, two Big Wigglers are retained in the returning {{classic link|Wii|Maple Treeway}}.

Like in ''Mario Kart 7'', Wiggler retains its four-segment body and becomes temporarily angry after getting hit by an item or obstacle or failing a [[Rocket Start]]. Unlike in ''Mario Kart 7'', its top pair of arms no longer spread out when it gets a speed boost and are now used to hold items from Item Boxes. Wiggler becomes angry briefly in its anti-gravity trick animation while riding a bike or ATV. It uses an orange [[Peach Parasol (glider)|Peach Parasol]], being one of the few characters to use a recolor of this glider. Wiggler also retains both of its Grand Prix [[rival]]s from ''Mario Kart 7'', these being [[Yoshi]] and [[Shy Guy]]. A CPU controlled Wiggler can use the same kart combination options as [[Dry Bones]], which include the [[Standard Kart]], [[Steel Driver]], [[Standard Bike]], and [[Standard ATV]]. Wiggler is sad during its losing animation, but it does not turn red like in ''Mario Kart 7''. Wiggler is the only character to still have two hands on the steering wheel/handlebars when holding an item due to having four arms.

A Wiggler is a boss in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. It is fought at [[Chucklehuck Woods]] while [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are looking for [[Chuckola Fruit]]s. Wiggler is first encountered sticking out of a small hole in the wall. Mario and Luigi jump on its segments, knocking it into the hole. After the Wiggler enters the hole, [[Mini-Mario]] tries to enter the hole, but runs away after seeing the enraged Wiggler. The Wiggler then engages Mario and Luigi in a battle. In battle, the Wiggler can be damaged only after all of its segments are attacked, temporarily calming it and allowing Mario and Luigi to damage its head. Any attacks to the head that does not defeat it simply enrages it, causing it to stomp and create a shock wave that can damage Mario and Luigi. Its normal attack is to charge directly ahead, allowing for its segments to be stomped on. Upon being defeated, Wiggler runs away, crying.
