Flutter

Flutters (also called Wiggler Flies, Flying Wigglers, or Butterflies) are butterfly sub-species of Wigglers that first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. When hit, they act like the normal Wiggler, getting enraged. Instead of flying around aimlessly, though, they charge straight for the Yoshi that hit them.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Flutters, known in this game as Flying Wigglers, are only seen in the level GO! GO! MARIO!!. Just before the goal, a swarm of Flutters appear over a flat turf. They fly forward in a wavy manner. If attacked with an egg or a jump, they turn angry and charge towards Yoshi's current position, disappearing off-screen after a time. Flutters can cause Yoshi to drop Baby Mario off his back if they come into contact with him. Yoshi can defeat them with a Ground Pound or by eating and turning them into an egg. If spat out instead, they fly away. They can also be defeated by touching them as Superstar Mario.

In the Game Boy Advance version, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, a few Flutters also appear at the beginning of the secret level, Endless World of Yoshis.

Tetris Attack
A Flying Wiggler appears in Tetris Attack, which depicts it as a friend of Yoshi rather than an enemy. Flying Wiggler is playable in Time Trial mode, and can be fought and rescued on the Flower Stage in the main Vs. Com mode. In the SNES version, it is paired with the similarly-themed Eggo-Dil.

Yoshi's New Island
Flutters appear in Yoshi's New Island in the level Ride the Blarggwich, where they act slightly different from their original appearance. They simply fly up and down on a predetermined line, like red Koopa Paratroopas, and cannot be eaten.

Yoshi's Crafted World
Flutters reappear in Yoshi's Crafted World, returning as enemies.

Super Mario-Kun
One Wiggler in volume 6 of Super Mario-Kun transforms into a Flutter lookalike after Bowser and Kamek replace the flower on its head with a Muncher.

In volume 14 of the Super Mario-Kun, a Flutter gets infuriated after Mario plucks a flower off of it.

Mario Party 5
Flutters have their own Capsule in Mario Party 5, which can take players to the Star. They also appear in some minigames.

Mario Party Advance
An individual Flutter also appears in Mario Party Advance, where she resides on the third floor of the Mushroom Condo.

Mario Party 6
Flutters reappear in Mario Party 6, as well as the Flutter Orb which retains the same affects.

Mario Party 7
Flutters once again appear in the Flutter Orb in Mario Party 7. She also appears in the minigame Spider Stomp, where she is kidnapped and has to be rescued.

Mario Party 8
Flutter also makes several cameos in Mario Party 8. It can be found in the minigames Specter Inspector as one of the hiding enemies (it is found in the piano), Moped Mayhem as a racer, and in the minigame contest Test for the Best, holding the 4,000 points sign.

Mario Party: Island Tour
Flutter appears in Mario Party: Island Tour for the Nintendo 3DS. On the Star-Crossed Skyway board, Flutter appears in the first, second, and last Star Stages. It gives out ten Mini Stars to the player who reaches it. It retains its updated nose from Paper Mario: Sticker Star.

Super Mario Party
Flutter appears in Super Mario Party as a non-playable character who owns the item shop.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
Flutters were originally going to appear in World-e of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, but were left unused likely due to the discontinuation of the e-Reader. They were to have the same behavior to that in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

Mario Power Tennis / New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis
In Mario Power Tennis, Wiggler transforms into a Flutter for his Defensive Power Shot. If the player is to win a match as Wiggler, he will transform into Flutter during his winning animation.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Flutter makes its debut in the Paper Mario series in Paper Mario: Sticker Star as Wiggler's fully grown and true form. Flutter explains he became his form after eating a plentiful amount of leaves from the forest. Flutter will offer to fly Mario and Kersti out to Bowser's Sky Castle. He also refers to himself as "grown up". In this game it appears with the brown nose of a Wiggler rather than the usual pink nose. Though Wiggler/Flutter can no longer take Mario to the shipwreck in Whitecap Beach, a pipe appears that transports Mario to the southwestern area of the island.

Mario Golf: World Tour
A large Flutter appears in Mario Golf: World Tour in the 9th hole of Wiggler Park, where it hovers above the green. If a ball touches it, it does a loop.

Flutter appears in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition as an enemy and ally alongside a Flame Chomp. Its types are Fire and Light.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
A Flutter makes an appearance in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, which marks the first time it appears in the Mario & Luigi series. After the Wiggler boss battle, a seemingly-exhausted Wiggler, along with some Paragoombas, goes up into the sky; Wiggler then takes this form for the rest of the game.
