'''Big Wigglers''' are a large variety of [[Wiggler]] that first appeared in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' | '''Big Wigglers''' are a large variety of [[Wiggler]] that first appeared in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Unlike normal Wigglers, their size typically causes them to not notice when [[Mario]] jumps on them, though they can sometimes be found angry by default. Large Wigglers have also appeared in various ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games such as ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' while otherwise being referred to as just Wigglers. | ||

A Big Wiggler first appears as a friendly creature in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', specifically in [[World 7-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-3]]. This Big Wiggler, referred to simply as a "giant Wiggler",<ref>Loe, Casey. ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide. Page 94. "''It’s a rare treat to meet a humongous creature who doesn’t want to kill you. The giant Wiggler at point 1 is happy to take you on a ride through this level, but you’ll need to leap off its back and onto the block platforms to reach the first two Star Coins.''"</ref> is harmless and very long compared to typical Wigglers, having a total of 29 segments, including the head. Mario and [[Luigi]] can safely ride on its back, and must do so for the majority of the level while avoiding enemies. | |||
An enemy version of Big Wigglers also exists in the game files of ''New Super Mario Bros.'', behaving the same as a regular Wiggler. However, this type of Big Wiggler is [[List of New Super Mario Bros. pre-release and unused content|unused]] in the final game. | |||

Big Wigglers appear as stage hazards in [[World 5-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5-2]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They move on preset paths, and can hurt Mario and company if they run into them. However, Big Wigglers can also defeat [[Swoop]]s and most other enemies they run into, and players can bounce harmlessly off them to reach coins and blocks above; pressing the {{button|wii|2}} or {{button|wii|A}} button will do a high jump, similar to a [[Trampoline|Spring]]. | Big Wigglers appear as stage hazards in [[World 5-2 (New Super Mario Bros.

They can only be defeated by reaching the flag at the end of the level, as with the [[King Bill]]s encountered much later. | ||
