Wiggly Jr. is a Wiggler who carries four light swords and is one of Topmonhit's early non-main characters. His original appearance involved Wingediceyoshi, but because no one liked him that's non-canon. He was a part of the Yoshi Bodyguards for a time, but then he disappeared and Topmonhit eventually reused him for other things.

Top Story Bio
Wiggly Jr. is the son of Wiggly Sr. (gasp), who disappeared when Wiggly Jr. was really young. A demon was threatening Forest of Illusion, and Wiggly Sr. went to battle it. He was unable to defeat it, but he was able to trap it in a star jewel. Wiggly Jr.’s mother then went to separate the shards of the jewel, asking a friend of hers to look after Wiggly Jr. until she returned. However, she never did. Wiggly Jr. eventually went on a journey to find his father, going from Forest of Illusion to Toad Town, Koopa Village, Boo’s Mansion, Gusty Gulch, Forever Forest, Lavalava Island, the YB, Rogueport, Petalburg, Shwonk Fortress, and the Moon. He eventually learned from Merluvlee of Rogueport Sewers where he may be able to find his father. He was successful, but the demon escaped and his father had to sacrifice himself once again. However, not long after the demon escaped once more when FOEA (Federation of Evil Acquaintances) attempted to reform. Wiggly Jr. defeated the demon once and for all, but then learned about his mother never returning. Thus, he went on a journey to find his mother. He is obviously dedicated to something once he begins (his first journey took him years to finish), and he is also a skilled swords… wiggler. He’s also serious and stuff, although he is very peaceful and pleasant to friends and allies. He very rarely goes into the rage Wigglers are known for, and if he ever gets close to it, he tries the best he can not to. His four swords are infused with light, which his father originally used against the demon. He had them given to Wiggly Jr., and he is never seen without them. They’re his most prized possession.
History
The Beginning
When Wiggly Jr. was but a wee Squiggler, his father, Wiggly Sr., went to battle a demon that was threatening Star World with its... evil... demonic... stuff. Using four swords forged of light, he was able to weaken the demon enough to trap it in a star jewel. Unfortunately, he was also trapped in the jewel as a side effect. His last wish to his wife, Wiga, was for her to separate the shards of the jewel so that they couldn't be put back together again. Thus, she told her best friend, Catherin, to look after her son until she returned.
She would never return, though. Wiggly Jr. grew up believing Catherin was his mother, and when he became old enough, he set out on a journey with his most valuable possessions, the four swords that were left to him by his father, and went off to find him.
The Journey
Wiggly Jr. began by heading northwest to Toad Town of the Mushroom Kingdom. Once there, he headed to Koopa Village, finding nothing, then went south into Forever Forest and Boo's Mansion. He again found nothing, nor did he find anything at Gusty Gulch, and then tried Lavalava Island. There, he found nothing. It was beginning to look like a journey that would never succeed until he met the YB.
The YB
He did absolutely nothing of any use in the YB because all he did is now non-canon. But he did meet them.
The Journey Again
Once he left the YB, he eventually went to Rogueport, where he stayed with Professor Frankly and Goombella for nearly 1 1/2 years. During that time, he helped them out with things, and tried to find a trickle of knowledge he could use. During that time he went to Petalburg, Shwonk Fortress, and The Moon to help them with their research. Eventually, they found something--a book speaking about the light swords Wiggly Jr. had. The book told of four light swords forged by a group of shaman--next door to Prof. Frankly's place was the shaman Merlon, and from him Wiggly Jr. learned of another shaman related to him in the sewers named Merluvlee. From her, he learned that his father could be found on a tiny, deserted island in the south seas.
And so, in March 2007, Wiggly Jr. went to the exact spot she said, and lo and behold, Wiggly Sr. was there! But all was not well, as it was very coincidental--Wiggly Sr. had just been freed from the chest that he had been locked in, and so had the demon! Wiggly Jr., although overjoyed at finding his father, knew what he had to do, so he went to the YB to get help. Unfortunately, it soon turned out that the YB were the ones who opened the chest! They thought they had defeated the demon, but Wiggly Sr. explained that it can only be harmed by light; Oshy Gisho, a white Yoshi who had joined since Wiggly Jr. left, mentioned something about Top acting strange, so they realized the demon must have possessed Top!
They tried to stop the possessed Top, but the demon made it to Star Haven and took it over. Wiggly Sr. said they needed another jewel to trap it in, but the only place they were was the Crystal Palace. Unfortunately, in order to get it, they required a key. An ice key. They went to Rareworld, home of the Ice Key, and stole it from Cackletta, Fawful and Grunty, then got a new jewel and trapped the demon in it. Unfortunately, Wiggly Sr. was also retrapped inside the jewel, and Wiggly Jr. took the pieces until he could figure out a way to free him.
He returned to his home at Forest of Illusion, but it would not be long until he was disturbed by Fawful! Fawful stole the star jewel and then quickly fleed, Wiggly Jr. chasing him all the way to the Castle Formerly Owned by Tubba Blubba. There, he met up with the YB, and found out that Top had been kidnapped. Apparently with some leftover darkness from the demon, Dark Top, the dark side of Top, was able to keep control of Top. They were eventually able to defeat the villains, however, and Wiggly Jr. was able to use his light swords to completely defeat the demon once and for all, saving his father after long years of searching.
The Second Journey
Happy times would not last, however, as Wiggly Jr. would learn about his mother disappearing when she scattered the jewel pieces across Star World. Thus, he soon after returning home went to the YB and learned from Top where they had found the shards of the jewel: One was found inside a robot of Top named Metal Top, one was found in the treasure of the Pirate King Cortez, one was found when the father of Bowser, Morton Koopa Sr., was defeated, one was obtained after defeating the nefarious Shadow Danny, and the final one was found on the dream island, Koholint. Thus, Wiggly Jr. first headed out to Keelhaul Key.
Hints, Hints, Hints
First going to Keelhaul Key, Wiggly Jr. came upon a young(?) girl named Enni, and they decided to travel together. They met up with Cortez, who was having problems of his own: his Skull Gem, which he needed for his ship to work, was stolen. Thus Wiggly Jr. and Enni set out to find it, eventually reaching a Shy Guy ship that was captained by General Guy. Although they fought hard, General Guy cheated with a giant cannon and took them prisoner, sending them to Bowser's Castle.
At Bowser's Castle, Wiggly Jr. and Enni were tossed in a prison until they were able to escape. After failing a quiz by Magigoomba, they got back up again and this time found Kamek and Kammy Koopa in the hangar of Bowser's Castle. After a fight, Wiggly Jr. learned from Kamek that the shard that Morton had was originally found at Yoshi's Island. Wiggly Jr. and Enni then took the Skull Gem, escaped and returned to Keelhaul Key, giving Cortez his Skull Gem. They then learned from Cortez that he had found the shard at Sirena Beach in Isle Delfino, so they prepared to head out to Yoshi's Island first. Cortez and Admiral Bobbery agreed to let them use their ship (well, Cortez's ship).
Ghosts 'n' Robots
At Yoshi's Island, Cortez was accused of robbing some Yoshis, so they were unable to leave until they found the real criminals. They got some help from Jet Gundam, who was stationed there to test his skills. In the Ghost Castle on Yoshi's Island, they met a YI Information Block named Teen Angst who began to tag along with them. They fought and defeated Hector the Reflector and Roger the Potted Ghost, and found all the stolen stuff. Wiggly Jr. then learned his mother had come by, giving the Yoshi Chief of the village a jewel shard, but he did not know where she went to next.
At Sirena Beach, they were suddenly ambushed by some Metal Army robots, including Ultra Stuffwell, who was there to make a hotel for robots or something like that. They were able to stop them, however, and save the hotel residents. The owner of the hotel, unfortunately, had never met Wiggly Jr.'s mother, leaving him at a dead end.
Heading North
They all returned to Toad Town, at which point they all went their separate ways. Wiggly Jr., in a stroke of luck, learned from Merlon that he was wanted at Starborn Valley, so he hurried there and learned from Merle that his mother had gone through many years ago with a single star jewel shard. He also learned his parents had been allies with Starborn Valley and a temple up north, which is where she supposedly went, and so Wiggly Jr. prepared to head north himself so he could finally find his mother.
Eventually he reached the castle, and was given the sad news that his mother had come to the temple, but had died from a bad disease there. Wiggly Jr. was saddened, but felt an inner peace finally knowing what had happened to his mother. He remained to pay his respects, but it extended a little too long and winter came; it was too dangerous to travel during the winter, so he had to wait for late spring, but when late spring came he came down with the very same disease his mother had. Things looked grim until the following winter, when he began getting better and became healthy; he attributes it to his mother, who he heard in a dream. Finally, the next late spring came, and he prepared to leave the temple and return to his home...
Kastrodoms
The day before he was about to leave the temple, he heard a familliar voice; it turned out that Team TOT, Power Box, Sunset, Frob and Bread and Gluposs had come to the temple looking for Merlia! They had a baby star to give her, whose power would be used to stop the author of the Dark Prognosticus from taking his revenge. Wiggly Jr. decided to help them out, and when Merlia had a vision that they needed to find Luigi, they headed out to find Luigi, but then Bowser and Kamek appeard to attack them and try to steal the star.
Though the two were defeated, Kammy then appeared with the Dark Prognosticus, revealing her ancestor, Kastrodoms, had been the author of the Dark Prognosticus, and the Darkost Wiggly Jr. and Sr. had fought was actually a ghost Kastrodoms had summoned that managed to escape his defeat. Wiggly Jr., PB, Sunset, Frob and Bread stayed to fight Kammy while hte others went to find Luigi, but ultimately were defeated by her.
She held them in a cage while traveling to the Mushroom Kingdom to take it over, and then left them in a cage at Peach's Castle along with a cage that held Subsourian, Tron and Jet Gundam. Eventually Team TOT and the thers got to them and freed them, and then Kammy showed up to attack them. Although at first they couldn't get through the Darkost, Luigi showed up and was able to use Merlia's help to defeat Kammy. However, the Dark Prognosticus projected a ghost hologram of Kastrodoms, who was ready to take his revenge. Without the star, it seemed they would lose, but then the Star Spirits prevented Kastrodoms from summoning any Darkost and they were able to defeat him, with Wiggly Jr. deliverin the finishing blow.
On the Road Again
After that, Wiggly Jr. finally returned home to his father, but began to travel some more soon after. He and a group of other characters were hired as a strike team under Sneezier along with Enni, Top's Lawyer, Tron, Jet Gundam, and Hey You. They went into a temple on New Euphrates, a planet where all life had been destroyed, and inside they were attacked by ROBs and Vhozon. Deeper inside, it appeared that the Celestial Architects, whom had made the temple, had made it to hide something from other Celestial Architects. At the bottom of the temple, they found a strange, one-eyed crystal which attacked them with horrifying images.
Wiggly Jr., specifically, went through the event of learning of his mother's death over and over again. However, they were suddenly and inexplicably sent out of the temple into the Starcruiser Prime's cargo bay.Afterwards, Wiggly Jr.'s mind felt injured, and he left to Yoshi's Island to try and relax. Instead, the island was attacked by a magical, humanoid creature resembling Subsourian, and Wiggly Jr., PB, Sunset and Tron joined together to fight it. Although it injured some bystanders, a smash ball appeared from out of nowhere, which Wiggly Jr. used to defeat the morph and destroy it, although he was hurt from the fight, and returned home to rest.

Personal Information
Personality
Wiggly Jr. is a very strong-willed Wiggler who, once has began something, won't give up until he's finished. Due to this, quite a few years of his life have been spent searching for his father and then his mother. He doesn't regret this, however, as feels that if he had never found his father, his life would have been unfulfilled.
He is a talented fighter with his four swords, but always keeps his temper under control, preferring to never go into the enragement that so many Wigglers do. He would prefer peace over war, but is always up for a challenge and not one to back down.
After The Crystals of Madness, he began feeling upset and tried to find inner peace; as he instead found an evil being to fight, he felt no better, and has not been feeling well since.
Appearance
Wiggly Jr. appears as a regular Wiggler wearing gloves on his upper two segments, with the exception of him wearing two sword belts with four scabbards each for his four light swords, which he carries with him always.
Abilities
Wiggly Jr. has a high aptitude with using four swords at once, although he has to use half of his feet as hands for this. With his swords, he can use Light Sword Beam with all four at once, although it's much easier to do it with one or two. He also has the ability to increase his power with rage, but the only time he is ever known to do it on purpose is with his Final Smash.
Quadruple Light Slash
Quadruple is technically an understatement, as he uses all 4 swords twice making it a double quadruple slash. He also becomes red, increasing his power, and the 9th slash is one with all 4 swords. Afterwards he takes a bit of damage, though...
Family
Wiggly Sr.
Not a lot is known about Wiggly Sr., although it's well assumed he cares for Wiggly Jr., as he left him his four swords long ago. According to him, the reason he had to stop the demon many years ago was so that his son could have a world to grow up in. He is a talented fighter, but Wiggly Jr. seems to have surpassed him. However, he is also quite old, as his flower droops a bit.
Wiga
Wiga is Wiggly Jr.'s mother. Nothing is known about her except that she is allied with Starborn Valley and was last seen going to a Star Temple in the northern reaches of Star World. There, she died from a disease which Wiggly Jr. later had, but Wiggly Jr. attributes his recovery to his mother's spirit.
Items
Light Swords
Wiggly Jr.'s most prized possession are his four light swords that he carries with him everywhere. They are his most powerful weapons, as well as his only weapons, and has become a master at using them skillfully. As they were given to him by his father, he keeps them with him always, and used them to defeat a demon that was threatening Star World.
Interactions with Other Characters
Top
- Main Article: Top Mon Hit
Top and Wiggly Jr. are friends, although they mostly knew each other during the anti-personality years, where it was illegal to have any good personalities for characters.
Merlia
Wiggly Jr. sees Merlia as a good friend, and thanks her for hospitality at the star temple.
Teen Angst
Wiggly Jr. is not very fond of Teen Angst, believing her to be fairly useless. Like anyone on the side of good, however, he is always willing to lend a hand if she needs it. Therefore, if he were to have appeared in Grodus Rising, he would not lend her a hand.
Enni
- Main Article: Enni
Wiggly Jr. considers Enni a good friend, having traveled with her for a full year, and while he missed having travelin companions once she left (which is a bit ironic, as it was her idea to travel with him), does not scorn her for going her own separate way--after all, everyone has their own mission in life. He hopes to meet her again someday, though (which happened in The Crystals of Madness).
Frob
- Main Article: Frob and Bread
Wiggly Jr. respects Frob as a fellow warrior, and helpled him out in obtaining a long-range attack with his lance.
Jet Gundam
Wiggly Jr. was a bit vexed by Jet Gundam at first, but being allies with the YB, he took the help he could get from it, and is on fairly friendly terms with Jet Gundam, although he's not sure how to react to robots a whole lot.
Power Box
Wiggly Jr. shares PB's peaceful outlook, yet strong fighting capability, so although he wasn't in the YB for very long, from what he knew of PB shows that they would get along fairly well.
Sneezier
- Main Article: Sneezier
Knowing Sneezier from the YB, Wiggly Jr. knew him in the older days of chocolate sniper rifles. He was unaware of Sneezier's change from that until he met Jet Gundam, though, so he's still used to thinking Sneezier is a little crazy.
Trivia
- The name "Wiggly Jr." was actually used for a minor character in a Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy episode entitled "The Secret Snake Club" and it was the name of a garden snake owned by a member of the club of which the episode's title is based on. Topmonhit claims no connection, however.
- Up until recently, the sprite had shoes on all of Wiggly Jr.'s appendages. Recently, however, it was edited to show gloves on the upper four appendages.
