Big Wiggler: Difference between revisions

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Big Wigglers make an in-game appearance. Despite being enemies, they can help [[Mario]] get items normally out of his reach. For this, the players must jump over a Big Wiggler and press the {{button|wii|2}} or {{button|wii|A}} button to do a high jump, as if they were using a [[Trampoline|Spring]].

Big Wigglers can hurt Mario by running into him while on their preset paths. They can also defeat [[Swoop]]s, along with most other enemies upon making direct contact. Also, they do not get angry if Mario jumps atop them, unlike normal Wigglers.

 

It should also be noted that the Big Wiggler is one of the very few enemies that cannot be defeated by any means, and they can push Mario around, even when he is under the effects of the [[Super Star|Star]]. They can only be defeated by reaching the flag at the end of the level, just like [[King Bill]]s.

Big Wigglers reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in the [[Supermassive Galaxy]]. They appear on the [[Supermassive Galaxy#Stone Tube Planet|Stone Tube Planet]], where Mario must avoid running into them to reach the [[Power Star]]. A pair of angry Big Wigglers circle the tube towards the end. They cannot be defeated, but the [[Co-Star Luma]] is able to stop them from moving and hurting Mario.

Big Wigglers return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', having the same role as in the predecessors. They are found in [[Soda Jungle]], and appear in [[Wiggler Stampede]].

Big Wigglers reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', where giving a Wiggler a [[Super Mushroom]] will increase it in size, effectively turning it into a Big Wiggler. Big Wigglers appear in all styles. Unlike in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', they appear slightly smaller and have the same behavior as regular Wigglers, as they can become angry and can be defeated.

Big Wigglers return in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', behaving the same as in ''Super Mario Maker''. Also unlike the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, Big Wigglers cannot walk through poison, and simply sink through it.

Big Wigglers make their first [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] appearance in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' in [[Maple Treeway]]. If a driver bumps into them, their [[kart]] will be pushed back. Players also had to race against a Big Wiggler in a tournament on [[Wario's Gold Mine]] that took place in December 2008 and September 2010.

As Maple Treeway makes a reappearance in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', so too do the Big Wigglers. In ''Mario Kart Tour'', the Big Wigglers now cause racers to spin out when touching one.
