===''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''===
In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Boss Wiggler does not make a physical appearance, but numerous [[Wiggler Bus]]es that appear in the game bear a similar appearance to him (such as his red nose, green skin, orange and yellow spots, and the flower on his head). The Wiggler Buses act as obstacles in [[Mushroom City]] and [[Mushroom Bridge]].

===Physical appearance===
===Physical appearance===
Unlike most Wigglers, Boss Wiggler has a different color scheme, having yellow eyes instead of black, green skin instead of yellow, a red nose instead of a brown one and wearing blue shoes instead of violet ones. It is also very large, possessing more than eight body segments, making him even larger than a [[Mega Wiggler]] and the second largest Wiggler in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], surpassed only by the massive Wiggler appearing in [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-3]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. Boss Wiggler also has the distinction of being one of the few Wigglers who does not change color when enraged.

===Personality===
===Personality===
Like most Wigglers, Boss Wiggler has a very short temper and will thrash about when enraged. It also seems to be a bit lazy, as it fell asleep while guarding the Sand Bird instead of keeping an eye out for [[Mario]].

==Abilities==
==Abilities==
Like all Wigglers, Wiggler can become invincible when enraged and charges wildly at its opponent. It is also very fast, capable of running up hills and in water with no change in its velocity. These abilities are further enhanced by its immense size. It can also release steam from its nose when enraged or being sprayed with water.
