19. Wiggler

Much like Chain Chomp from the previous run, Wiggler finally just barely managed to make the cut. Strangely enough, here the species only acted as one of the many sorta-playable characters in Tetris Attack. However, allowing him to adopt some of the moves from that game filled up the remaining spots that he had never quite manage to fill until now. Let's check him out, shall we?

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Panel
This one comes straight from Tetris Attack and mirrors the character's abilities to throw eggs to disrupt the opponent, but combining it with the actual panels of the game. Wiggler will chuck a panel into the air as a projectile, which when hit, will cause a flower to sprout from the opponent's head. (Just like Lip's Stick, which comes from the Japanese version of said game).

Side B: Charge
Wiggler's most iconic attack. Wiggler will turn red and charge across the stage at top speed, ramming into anyone who gets in his way. You can change direction while charging.

Up B: Flying Wiggler
Wiggler will sprout two large butterfly wings and flutter into the air. The wings will carry him some distance before he falls back down.

Down B: Egg-odil
This one is based on Wiggler's partner in Tetris Attack, but also for Wiggler's affinity with flowers in general. Wiggler can plant an Egg-odil in the ground where he is standing, which will sprout after a few seconds, grow its yellow orbs, and finally fire them off in random directions as a projectile. Basically, Wiggler laid a trap.

Final Smash: Mechawiggler
Mechawiggler from Super Mario Odyssey will charge across the screen several times using the portals he summons in Odyssey. As he charges, he will often shoot off random bursts of electricity as well.

Entrance: waking up from sleep, much like Sunshine's version and several others.

Taunts: Getting mad and turning red for a second, maybe extending himself like the Tropical Wigglers from Odyssey. Maybe coming apart and playing with his pieces like in Sticker Star.

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's work with our Rosters for a second.
