'''Wiggler'''<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Strategy Guide. Page 20.</ref>, also known as '''Boss Hana'''<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide. Page 64.</ref>, is a giant, green [[Wiggler]] who appears in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' as the boss of [[Gelato Beach]]. It sleeps on top of the glass case housing the [[Sand Bird]] egg, blocking sunlight and delaying its hatching. Unlike other Wigglers, it does not change color when it is angry.

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Wiggler appears in two missions in [[Gelato Beach]]: [[Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam!]] and [[Wiggler Ahoy! Full Steam Ahead!]]. In the first mission where Wiggler appears, Mario has to correctly angle three mirrors, to hasten the hatching of the Sand Bird, by removing the [[Plungelo]]s found on the mirrors. Once all three mirrors are correctly angled, Wiggler falls off of the case, revealing a [[Shine Sprite]]. In the second mission, Mario has to fight an enraged Wiggler. It moves very quickly and can damage Mario by running into him. Mario can stun it by spraying [[Dune Bud]]s with water when Wiggler approaches them, flipping it onto its back, revealing a weak point on any one of its segments which needs to be [[Ground Pound]]ed to deal damage to Wiggler. After Wiggler has been hit three times, it turns into sand, revealing another Shine Sprite.

As Mario fights Wiggler, it blows steam from its nose and makes sounds like a [[Wikipedia:steam locomotive|steam locomotive]].

The [[Wiggler Wagon]]s in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' found in [[Mushroom Bridge]] and [[Mushroom City]] bear resemblance to this Wiggler.

==Trivia==
*When the player [[Ground Pound]]s Wiggler's body in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', the boss music speeds up once per hit. This does not happen with any other boss in the game.
*Due to a glitch, if the player presses the {{button|gcn|Z}} button as soon as Wiggler is defeated and is beginning to turn into sand, the music will slow down even more than in normal gameplay.<ref>HiLeonardo.

*In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', [[Petey Piranha]], [[Mom Piranha]], and the [[Big Piranha Plant]]s, respectively, use some of Wiggler's sound clips.
