Don't Wake Wiggler! is a Free-for-All minigame in Super Mario Party.
Opening[]
The players walk silently into a forest to where a Wiggler is sleeping.
Gameplay[]
The player can pet the Wiggler and earn a point by moving the Joy-Con from left to right. While the player pets the Wiggler, he may open one eye or jerk his head to one side. The more the player pets the Wiggler, the more likely they will awaken him, causing the game to end. Unexpectedly, the Wiggler will wake up any time (never 24 points or less, though) and the player playing instantly loses all of their points. The player with the most points wins.
If the player does nothing for some time, the Wiggler will wake up.
Ending[]
The Wiggler, now awake and enraged, chases the players around, except for the winner(s), who perform their winning animation.
Controls[]
- Wave
– Pet
In-game description[]

Behind the Scenes[]
