Flutter

Flutters, originally named Flying Wigglers, are the final and metamorphosed form of Wiggler featured in both the Yoshi and Mario franchises alike. They were first introduced in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, but have since been among the recurring species within the Mario franchise, mainly within the Mario Party series.
==Physical description==
Flutters are based on how real-world caterpillars evolve into butterflies. Aside from having a pair of butterfly wings and a flower on their head, Flutters have little difference in appearance from Wigglers, which are caterpillars.
In the Nintendo 3DS game Paper Mario: Sticker Star, it is said that Wigglers grow into Flutters after they have eaten a lot of food. Flutters have large wings and has a flower on the top of their heads. They also lose nearly all of their legs in favor of two legs and two arms with hands.
==In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island==
Here, they are named Flying Wiggler, and only appear in one level, GO! GO! MARIO!!. A Flying Wiggler tries to attack a Yoshi if he gets close enough. A Yoshi can defeat a Flutter by either eating it, which converts it into an egg, or by throwing an egg at it.
==In Tetris Attack==
A Flutter is the third boss of the Vs. Com mode in the Game Boy version and the fourth in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System version.
==In the Mario Party series==
===Mario Party 5===
A Flutter is featured within a Wiggler Capsule, which replaces Magic Lamps from earlier Mario Party installments. A Flutter can take any player directly to the Star. Placing a Wiggler Capsule on a space essentially creates another Star Space.
===Mario Party 6===
Flutters retain their role from Mario Party 5, although their orb has been renamed to Flutter Orb.
===Mario Party 7===
A Flutter is once again featured within a Flutter Orb. A Flutter also appears in the mini-game Spider Stomp, in which it appears at the goal.
===Mario Party 8===
Flutters make several mini-game appearances. One is also seen racing in Moped Mayhem as a non-playable character.
=== Mario Party: Island Tour ===
Flutters appear in Star-Crossed Skyway in the First, Second and Fourth Star Stages. They give out 10 Mini Stars.
==In Paper Mario: Sticker Star==
One Flutter makes an appearance in this game. Mario and Kersti needed a way to get to Bowser's Sky Castle from Gate Cliff so they decided to go back and see their Wiggler friend. Fortunately, the Wiggler is now a Flutter after eating the non-polluted leaves of his home. Flutter agrees to take Mario and Kersti up to Bowser's Castle not before getting ambushed by Bowser Jr. After that, Flutter will never appear back at his home and will only appear on the world map taking Mario from Gate Cliff to Bowser's Sky Castle.
==In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam==
Flutter makes its first Mario & Luigi appearance as Wiggler. After being exhausted fighting, it takes the form of a Flutter and goes to the skies along with the Paragoombas.
==Trivia==
* 'Flutter' is a word to describe flying lightly.
* On several occasions Wiggler may become a Flutter directly and transform back, not going through a metamorphosis like real-world caterpillars do.
