Whittle
- “Our people. Brave.”
- —Whittle, Super Mario Galaxy 2
Whittles are a species appearing in Super Mario Galaxy 2 in several Galaxies, notably Tall Trunk Galaxy. They are small, humanoid figures with geometric heads and bodies made entirely out of wood, with the exception of a single leaf on their heads. Whittles are a very proud and brave race and because of this they like to prove their bravery by sliding down the big slide in their galaxy and surviving its trials, and when someone proves their worth the Whittles reward them with a symbol of courage. They also consider the giant tree at the center of the Tall Trunk Galaxy sacred. They speak with simplified, somewhat incorrect grammar. For example, in Fluffy Bluff Galaxy, there was one near the first Cloud Flower. It said: (Before grabbing flower) "Cloud step?" (After grabbing flower) "Spin! Make Cloud!"
Whittles are another species which will live on the Starship Mario after Mario completes a certain star. In this case, Mario must complete the second star in the Tall Trunk Galaxy.
