Squiggler

A Squiggler is a miniature Wiggler that appears in New Super Mario Bros.

With three body segments and a head about twice the size as the other segments with a sprout on it's head, this tiny Wiggler crawls around the perimeter of pipes. Squigglers are only seen in World 7-A and are obviously the baby versions of the Wigglers. It can be inferred that they are born in pipes. When they mature enough they (presumably) become a Wiggler, then a Flutter.

Trivia

 * If the player jumps on a Squiggler, they will not get points. However, if the player uses a Ground Pound on it, points will be awarded to the player.
