With three body segments and a head about twice the size as the other segments, this tiny Wiggler crawls around the perimeter of pipes. Squigglers are only seen in Level 7-A. Squiggler are obviously the baby version of the [[Wiggler]]. It can be inferred that they are born in pipes. When they mature enough they become a Wiggler, then a [[Wiggler Fly]]. Some Wigglers can stay as a Wiggler like the one in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.

History[edit]

New Super Mario Bros.[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros., Squigglers can only be found in World 7-A; many can be seen crawling around the perimeter of pipes in the underground pipe maze area. Unlike regular Wigglers, they can be defeated, either by stomping on them, by throwing fireballs at them as Fire Mario, or by other methods. In this game Squigglers are cream-colored, and they give no points upon being jumped on. However, defeating them by using Ground Pounds, fireballs, or a Blue Shell will earn points.

A Squiggler seen in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

A single Squiggler appears in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story in Dimble Wood. This Squiggler manages the Wiggler family farm. Bowser meets with it and the Squiggler seems friendly. However, Bowser states bluntly that vegetables are gross and that meat is better. The Squiggler reacts to this by saying that a healthy body does not crave meat and then hides behind a rock. It can last be seen during the sliding punch tutorial, where it can be found if the player tries to head south. Upon doing this, it asks Bowser if he can smash the rocks blocking the shortcut out of the farm. In this game, Squigglers are mainly colored yellow instead of pale cream.

The Squiggler as it appears in the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey.

The Squiggler reappears in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey in the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode, where in the level Find the Carrot, it welcomes Bowser Jr. and Wendy to the Wiggler family farm.
