Each Wiggler Wagon varies in length, with the one at Mushroom Bridge being ten body segments long in single-screen races, while being five body segments long in split-screen races. The one at Mushroom City is always six body segments long, regardless of how many screens there are.

Unlike [[Car (obstacle)|car]]s, [[bus]]es, and [[cargo truck]]s, Wiggler Wagons cannot be launched into the air using [[Super Star|Stars]], [[Bob-omb]]s, or [[Bowser's Shell]]s.

A single stationary Wiggler Wagon appears in [[Groove Pipe Snowboard]] in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', where it serves as a ramp with a [[Dash Panel]] on it.

Wiggler Wagons return in the ''Mario Kart Tour'' remake of GCN Mushroom Bridge after being absent in the ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' rendition. In this game, they no longer crash drivers, instead acting like a wall that slows them down when bumped into. They can be taken out by hitting them with a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], Bowser's Shell, [[Super Horn]], [[Giga Bob-omb]], or [[Super Bell]], or by ramming into them while under the effects of a [[Frenzy]], [[Mega Mushroom]], [[Bullet Bill]], or Super Star. When taken out, they grant bonus points. | |||
