Large variants of Wigglers that use roller skates to race against players, which they cannot physically interact with.

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.

## Mainline Super Mario Games

Big Wigglers appear as stage hazards in 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 Swoops and most other enemies they run into, and players can bounce harmlessly off them to reach coins and blocks above; pressing the **2** or ***A*** button will do a high jump, similar to a Spring.

They are completely invincible, and do not become angry like normal Wigglers; if Mario and co. are under the effects of a Star, they will simply bounce off the Big Wiggler with no effect. They can only be defeated by reaching the flag at the end of the level, as with the King Bills encountered much later.

Big Wigglers reappear in Super Mario Galaxy 2 in the Supermassive Galaxy. They appear on the final planet of the galaxy’s first mission, 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 can stop them from moving.

Big Wigglers reappear in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, where they can be used in all styles; giving a Wiggler a Super Mushroom will increase its size, but it otherwise retains the same behavior as a normal Wiggler.

Big Wigglers return in Super Mario Maker 2, behaving the same as in Super Mario Maker; they cannot walk through poison like their much larger kin from New Super Mario Bros. U, and simply sink into it like most other enemies.

Big Wigglers reappear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They are shown wearing white and pink rollerskates in the game trailer.[

## Mario Kart Wii

Big Wigglers appear in Mario Kart Wii, where they are found 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. Similar to Mario Kart DS's Wiggler boss mission, the racer had to avoid hitting it as they raced around the course. During the first two laps, the Wiggler's speed would nearly match most vehicles, but in the final lap, the Wiggler would become angered and turn red, increasing its speed. The few Item Boxes found along the course contained only Triple Mushrooms and Stars.

## Mario Kart 7

Big Wigglers also appear in Mario Kart 7 where they return as obstacles in Wii Maple Treeway. They jump when they get hit by a Super Star or a Bob-omb.

## Mario Kart Tour

Big Wigglers return in Mario Kart Tour, once again appearing as stage hazards on Wii Maple Treeway. They now cause racers to spin out when touching them. They also appear as hazards in DS Shroom Ridge T, replacing cars and trucks from the course's other variants.

## Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Big Wigglers reappear on Wii Maple Treeway in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass, where they now move around differently and cause any racers driving at high speeds to spin out. One also appears in the forest section of DS Mario Circuit.
