History

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

The Wild Wiggler debuts in Mario Kart 8 as one of the first ATVs available. It has acceleration and handling stat boosts, but its weight and traction stats are poor. It has the same stats as the Pipe Frame, Standard Bike, Flame Rider, Varmint, W 25 Silver Arrow, and City Tripper.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPU Yoshi and Birdo can be seen riding this ATV with Standard tires, while CPU Baby Daisy can be seen riding it using Wood tires. CPU Wiggler also uses this ATV. The Wild Wiggler also now only shares its stats with the Standard Bike, Flame Rider and W 25 Silver Arrow.

Mario Kart Tour

The Wild Wiggler returns in Mario Kart Tour in the 2023 Sundae Tour. As ATVs are unavailable in the game, it is a kart with a steering wheel instead of handlebars. It is also equipped with the Roller tires, and increases the duration of Jump Boosts and the amount of points earned for performing Jump Boosts.
