| ==History==
| | '''Wiggler Buses''' are vehicles found in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. They look like mechanical versions of the green [[Wiggler (Super Mario Sunshine)|Wiggler]] found in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They only appear in the [[Mushroom Bridge]] and [[Mushroom City]] race courses as moving obstacles. If a racer hits one of these long vehicles, they will flip over, lose all of their items, and lose a lot of speed as well. |

| ====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
| |
| In ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', if a racer hits a Wiggler Wagon, they flip over, lose all of their items, and lose a lot of speed as well. Unlike [[Car (obstacle)|car]]s, [[bus]]es, and [[cargo truck]]s, Wiggler Wagons cannot be launched into the air using [[Super Star|Stars]], [[Bob-omb]]s, or [[Bowser's Shell]]s. Each Wiggler Wagon varies in length, with the one at Mushroom Bridge being ten body segments long in single-screen races, while being five body segments long in split-screen races. The one at Mushroom City is always six body segments long, regardless of how many screens there are.

| |
|
| In Mushroom Bridge, the Wiggler Wagon is the slowest vehicle in its lane, regardless of how many players are racing, while in Mushroom City, the Wiggler Wagon is the fastest vehicle in its lane on the lower level.
| | Each Wiggler Bus varies in length, with the one at Mushroom Bridge being ten body segments long in single player races; it's only five body segments long in a multiplayer race. The one at Mushroom City is six body segments long. |
| | |
| [[List of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! pre-release and unused content|Originally]], there was going to be a second Wiggler Wagon in Mushroom City, but it was removed in the final version of the game.

| | |
| ====''Mario Kart Tour''====
| |
| Wiggler Wagons return in the ''Mario Kart Tour'' remake of GCN Mushroom Bridge after being absent in the course's ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' rendition. They also appear in the course's T variant. In this game, Wiggler Wagons no longer crash racers, instead acting like a wall that slows them down when bumped into. If racers land on top of them, they can bounce off to perform [[Jump Boost|tricks]]. Wiggler Wagons can be taken out by hitting them with a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], Bowser's Shell, [[Super Horn]], [[Giga Bob-omb]], or [[Super Bell]], or by ramming into them while under the effects of a [[Frenzy]], [[Mega Mushroom]], [[Bullet Bill]], or Super Star. When taken out, they grant bonus points. Each Wiggler Wagon has only five body segments, like in the split-screen mode of ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''

| ===''Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', Wiggler Wagons appear in the [[Groove Pipe Snowboard]] event, which takes place on [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]]. In the event, Wiggler Wagons continuously spawn on a part of the road that's out of bounds and out of sight, drive in the same direction as players along a straightaway, and then despawn out of bounds afterwards. The Wiggler Wagons move slower than they do in the ''Mario Kart'' series and each have a [[Dash Panel|dash panel]] ramp on the back, similar to a [[dash panel ramp truck]]. In this game, it is referred to as simply a '''Wiggler'''.<ref>''Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games'' Groove Pipe Snowboard Control Hint. "''The '''Wiggler''' that appears in Mushroom Bridge has a '''ramp''' on the end. Build up speed and jump off the ramp!''"</ref>
