Wiggle Gets Inspired

Wiggle Gets Inspired is the side quest for Wiggle Wigglebottom.

Continuing from her main quest, Wiggle believes Bugsnax are her muse and can help her overcome her "songwriter's block" and write a hit alike the success of "Do The Wiggle!" and not end up being a one-hit wonder.

Yellow Submarine![]

Yellow Submarine!
Wiggle thinks that eating a Sub Sandopede will increase her harmony or somesuch. It's worth a shot.
Objectives: Catch two Sub Sandopedes. (2/2) Feed two Sub Sandopedes. (2/2)

If you're not busy, Darling, I could use a helping paw. It seems like your run-of-the-mill Bugsnax aren't getting my creative juices flowing. I need something...ooh, spectacular! I overheard Wambus talking about a Sandopede. A Snak made of many pieces working in harmony. That may be just what I need! Feed me the Sandopede and I'm sure to have a hit!
Catch Sandopede and feed Wiggle
Ooh, I can feel the harmony building within me! But, I'm still not quite there... ...I'm sure this seems excessive, but it's just, uhm, it's the... it's the creative process. Do you know how I wrote 'Do the Wiggle'?
No, but do tell		Hard work and practice?
I stumbled into the studio two hours late. I hadn't slept in five days, and I was holding a banjo for some reason. I couldn't remember my own name, much less what I was supposed to sing! So in my haze I just... made it up on the spot. Two weeks later I had a platinum record and apparently I'd invented 'Banjo-Pop'. Needless to say, it's been a hard act to follow.

Fly Me to the Moon![]

Fly Me to the Moon!
Wiggle is looking for a rare desert Bugsnak that only appears during the full moon. Mysterious!
Objectives: Catch one White Cheepoof. (1/1) Feed one White Cheepoof. (1/1)

Darling, are you ready to help me top the charts? Triffany told me about a Bugsnak in the desert that only appears during the full moon. A creature in tune with the cosmos...Something that beautiful must also be significant, no?
Catch White Cheepoof
Feed me that rare and beautiful moon Bugsnak, Darling.
Feed Wiggle
Here it comes, the ballad of a generation! BUGSNAX! BUGS! SNAX! ON THE ISLAND! IN MY MOUTH! SO TASTY! That's all I have so far. It's a work in progress, but... what do you think?
That was...great!
Don't patronize me, Darling. The truth is written all over your face.
Needs work.
sighs I knew it was a hot mess. Thank you for your honesty.
I don't know why I bother. I know I don't have any real talent. My whole career was an accident! Sorry, Darling, I... I need to be alone for a while.

Dance with the Dragon![]

Dance with the Dragon!
Wiggle has seen a legendary Bugsnak out in the ocean. Together, we might be able to catch it.
Objectives: Meet Wiggle in Boiling Bay! Catch one Megamaki. (1/1) Feed one Megamaki. (1/1)

One last chance, Darling. There's a massive Bugsnak out in the ocean. I've seen it riding the waves in the morning light. To be honest, I'm not even sure if it's real. But I must go after it. Please help me. I can't catch it alone.
Maybe later...
Are you ready to catch that massive Bugsnak out by the beach?
Alright, let's go.
Fabulous! Let's jam.
Cut to Boiling Bay
My critics are right, you know. I can't make the magic happen again. I've tried skydiving, crystal gorging, reverse exorcisms, everything! Bugsnax are the only thing that have ever gotten me close to that state again. To that raw nirvana where the universe writes through me! I just...haven't found it yet. But I will. I must. It's that or I'm finished.
Follow Wiggle running across the Beach
sighs Another empty venue... but if you're out there, you won't be able to resist my siren song! plays banjo Oh, please. Ancient Bugsnak! Can you hear me? Will you show yourself if you hear how much I need you? Will you show yourself if you hear my cry? Bugsnax! I need ya! Bugsnax! I got to have ya, ohhhhh, in my mouth!
I don't think Bugsnax can understand you.		You can't solve every problem by singing...
Oh, don't give me that! Music is a universal language, Darling! COME TO ME, COME TO ME, MY MUSE OF THE SEA! MY MOUTH IS YOUR DESTINATION! AND WIGGLE IS YOUR DESTINY~! I SAID MY DESTINY, YEAH-Yeahhh, get in my belly, woah-hohooh yeah!
Megamaki appears
There you are, you delectable dragon! Come on, let's make some music!
Megamaki Boss Battle
oof
phew Talk about bombing on stage! Still, not my most explosive performance. Come, Darling, let's get this show on the road.
What are you waiting for!? Feed me that magnificent Maki!!
Feed Megamaki to Wiggle
Aha! Ha...Nothing. My head is just full of Snax. Ooh, I'm never gonna be free of it.
Free of what?		...
Do the Wiggle... It's such a vapid waste of a song! To think THAT will be my legacy... Why can't I make it happen one more time!? Why can't the universe give me one more hit!?
Wiggle runs off

Aftermath[]

The distraught artist makes it back home and Gramble would like an magnum opus update. The Side Quest ending in an Main Quest-like aftermath, where there is no final one-on-one with the Journalist, is unique to this quest.

Didja do it? Didja write your magnum opus?
Sorry, dear. It's never going to happen.
Don't be so down, Wiggle. Maybe you're overthinking it! Why don't you just write from the heart?
From the heart-!? Gramble, you sweet, summer child. That's what I did before I was a star. I'll never make platinum that way!
Why's that matter? You're already rich and famous.
Because I need an audience! And I've seen time and time again that when I write for myself, nobody else wants to hear it.
Well...I want to hear it.
...That's a nice sentiment, darling...
