Learn how to defeat the Wiggler boss in Super Mario 64 DS on Tiny-Huge Island. Follow these steps to swim, ground pound, and stomp your way to the star!

Alright, let's tackle Star 6, 'Make Wiggler Squirm,' on Tiny-Huge Island. We'll start this one in the Tiny island section, so enter the left portrait.

First things first, we need to get to the warp pipe. Swim past the initial platform to your left, then hop onto the second one. From there, drop down and hit the switch. Now, jump onto the cliff, run up the slope, and you'll find yourself at the warp pipe. Next, head to the platform where that little Goomba is chilling, climb the small steps, and take out another Goomba. After that, walk across the narrow plank on the edge of the mountain – you know, the one with the coins. Make your way to the summit, just like you did before. Once you're at the top, stand in the pool of water and perform a ground pound. This will create a hole and drain all the water.

Now, look over the edge of the mountain top. You'll spot the warp pipe sitting on a ledge below. Carefully slide down and jump into it. You'll emerge as small Mario. Your next task is to make your way all the way back up to the mountain's peak. Keep an eye out for a Purple Bob-omb on one of the ledges – dodge it if you can!

Once you reach the top again, you'll notice the hole you created is now much bigger. Drop through it!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll enter a house and immediately face off against a Wiggler who's pretty upset about the flooding.
  2. 2
    Quickly jump off the grassy platform you start on and find a corner to wait in.
  3. 3
    When Wiggler approaches, jump onto its head. It'll get angry and speed up, just like in other Mario games.
  4. 4
    As it comes towards you again, make a well-timed jump and stomp on the little flower on its head.
  5. 5
    Watch out! Wiggler will do a small jump towards you.
  6. 6
    When it approaches one more time, stomp on its head again.

That's it! Wiggler will give up, and you'll have earned this star. Pretty straightforward, right?

Tips
  • Don't stand still for too long; Wiggler will charge at you.
  • The timing for the jumps is crucial, especially on the second and third hits.
