History
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Whittles appear in several galaxies, notably the Tall Trunk Galaxy. In the Tall Trunk Galaxy they appear in both the levels. In the firstest level they teached Mario how to use the Blimp Fruit on Yoshi and later on they tell Mario how to slide down the gigantic slide gets da Star. Whittles are small,ugly, humanoid figures with screwed up heads and bodies made entirely out of wood, with the exception of a single leaf on their heads. They are a very proud, brave and stupid race. Due to this, they like to prove their bravery by sliding down the big slide in their galaxy and surviving its trials (sometimes not surviving because of their stupidity). When someone proves their worth the Whittles reward him or her 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 and one word sentences. For example, in Fluffy Bluff Galaxy, there was one near the first Cloud Flower that said:
(Before grabbing flower) "Cloud step?"
(After grabbing flower) "Spin! Make cloud!"
Whittles are another species which lives on the Starship Mario after Mario completes a certain star. In this case, Mario must complete the second star in the Tall Trunk Galaxy.
Mario Party 9
Whittles are seen in the background of the Logger Heads minigame from the Wii game, Mario Party 9. They also appear in the background of the Step It Up mode, and they congratulate the winning player when they reach the top of the tree.
