Page 20.</ref>, also known as '''Boss Hana'''<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide.

It sleeps on top of the glass case housing the [[Sand Bird]] egg, blocking sunlight and delaying its hatching. Unlike other Wigglers, it does not change color when it is angry.
+In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Wiggler appears in two missions in [[Gelato Beach]]: [[Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam!]] and [[Wiggler Ahoy! Full Steam Ahead!]]. In the first mission where Wiggler appears, [[Mario]] has to correctly angle three mirrors, to hasten the hatching of the Sand Bird, by removing the [[Plungelo]]s found on the mirrors. Once all three mirrors are correctly angled, Wiggler falls off the case, revealing a [[Shine Sprite]]. In the second mission, Mario has to fight an enraged Wiggler. It moves very quickly and can damage Mario by running into him. Mario can stun it by spraying [[Dune Bud]]s with water when Wiggler approaches them, flipping it onto its back, revealing a weak point on any one of its segments, which needs to be [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ed to deal damage to Wiggler. After Wiggler has been hit three times, it turns into sand, revealing another Shine Sprite.

 The [[Wiggler Wagon]]s in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' found in [[Mushroom Bridge]] and [[Mushroom City]] bear resemblance to this Wiggler.

 ==Trivia==
-*When the player [[Ground Pound]]s Wiggler's body in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', the boss music speeds up once per hit. This does not happen with any other boss in the game.

-*Due to a glitch, if the player presses the {{button|gcn|Z}} button as soon as Wiggler is defeated and is beginning to turn into sand, the music will slow down even more than in normal gameplay.<ref>HiLeonardo.
