The Wild Wiggler is an unlockable ATV body in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a kart in Mario Kart Tour. The vehicle is based off a Wiggler. The emblem is located on the sides of the back segment.

History[edit]

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

The Wild Wiggler debuts in Mario Kart 8 as one of the first ATVs available. It has acceleration and handling stat boosts, but its weight and traction stats are poor. It has the same stats as the Pipe Frame, Standard Bike, Flame Rider, Varmint, W 25 Silver Arrow, and City Tripper.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPU Yoshi and Birdo can be seen riding this ATV with Standard tires, while CPU Baby Daisy can be seen riding it using Wood tires. The Wild Wiggler also now only shares its stats with the Standard Bike, Flame Rider and W 25 Silver Arrow.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

The Wild Wiggler returns in Mario Kart Tour in the 2023 Sundae Tour. As ATVs are unavailable in the game, it is treated as a kart, with a steering wheel instead of handlebars, and a raised seat near the rear. This makes the Wild Wiggler the only vehicle in the Mario Kart series to change its vehicle type classification from one game to another. Although its pedals remain, they are not used by the driver. It is equipped with the Ribbon Rider’s tires, and increases the duration of Jump Boosts and the amount of points earned for performing Jump Boosts.

The Wild Wiggler is not currently obtainable from pipes, and it is not currently a part of the Daily Selects set. The following table shows its availability by tour.
