'''Wiggler''',<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton|date=September 3, 2002|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=Prima Games|language=en|isbn=0-7615-3961-1|page=20}}</ref> also known as '''Boss Hana''',<ref>{{cite|author=Bogenn, Tim and Doug Walsh|date=January 1, 2002|title= ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide|publisher=BradyGames|language=en|isbn=0-7440-0180-3|page=64}}</ref> is a [[List of characters|character]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It is a giant green [[Wiggler]] who appears as the boss of [[Gelato Beach]]. Wiggler first appears in the episode [[Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam!]], where it sleeps on top of the glass case housing the [[Sand Bird]] egg, blocking sunlight and delaying its hatching. [[Mario]] has to correctly angle three mirrors after removing the [[Plungelo]]s found on the mirrors so that the resulting sunlight causes Wiggler to fall off the case, revealing a [[Shine Sprite]]. Wiggler's second appearance and actual battle take place in [[Wiggler Ahoy! Full Steam Ahead!]], where Mario has to fight an enraged Wiggler. It moves very quickly and can damage Mario by running into him. Wiggler also blows steam from its nose and makes sounds like a {{wp|steam locomotive}}. 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|ground-pound]]ed to deal damage to Wiggler. When it is damaged, its mobility speeds up, but Wiggler does not change color. Likewise, the boss music speeds up once per hit, making Wiggler the only boss in the game with this distinction. After Wiggler has been hit three times, it turns into sand, revealing another Shine Sprite.

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

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*After the player ground-pounds 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>{{cite|author=HiLeonardo|date=June 17, 2009|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3ucVEV67eQ|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' - Glitch Showcase|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 24, 2024}}</ref>

*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.
