    I've been playing through Banjo Kazooie and when Gruntilda's nice sister Brentilda tells you about the gross details of Gruntie, the key words in the sentence wiggle around, I guess is the best way I can put it. I feel like I've seen another game do this on an episode of UPF, though I don't know what game that was. It's a pretty endearing effect, so I feel it might warrant a page if we can find other games with this trait. So does this page exist? Also anyone know what game that was on UPF that did this?

    There are so many games that incorporate wiggly text! Super Mario RPG and Golden Sun are amongst the earliest that come to mind.

    Are you referring to the effect where it makes it seem as if someone drew every frame individually so it looks like it wiggles?

    No, this text moves up and down on a sinusoidal curve, but each letter is offset by 10 or 15 degrees, so the whole phrase or whatever is wiggling like a worm.

    It seems to be a variant of how Zelda games will highlight key words in red or something.
