Wiggler,[1] also known as Boss Hana,[2] is a 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 Plungelos 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 steam locomotive. Mario can stun it by spraying Dune Buds 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-pounded 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 Wagons in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! found on Mushroom Bridge and Mushroom City bear resemblance to this Wiggler.
