A Fwoosh[1][2] is a cloud enemy that first appeared in Super Mario 64. It attacks by blowing strong gusts of wind in order to push characters off high altitudes.
History[edit]
Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]
In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, a single Fwoosh can blow Mario and his cap off Tall, Tall Mountain. The mountain wall after it is a portal to a secret slide. The original version depicts the Fwoosh with a partially transparent body, large eyebrows, closed eyes, and a feline-shaped mouth with a happy expression, while the remake gives it a solid, angrier appearance vaguely resembling a Boo. In addition, the DS remake grants the Fwoosh the ability to turn around in order to always face the character.
Mario cannot defeat the Fwoosh, but Wario can walk right past it with his metal ability. Yoshi also has the ability to eat the Fwoosh and defeat it by spewing fire at it. In Super Mario 64 DS, the Fwoosh can also be defeated by walking into it while affected by a mushroom.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]
A Fwoosh makes a very small cameo in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The Fwoosh appears to blow away the smoke from Thwomp Volcano after the mountain's eruption is put out by the Hydrogush 4000.
Mario Party series[edit]
Fwoosh has also made appearances in the Mario Party series. In Mario Party, the player can warp from world to world by hopping on one in Mini-Game Island. Fwoosh can also bring the player back to the start in Mario's Rainbow Castle. In Mario Party 3, the player automatically jumps on a Fwoosh when jumping at the last block of Awful Tower, and the players ride Fwoosh during the introduction and ending of Parasol Plummet.
Mario Golf: World Tour[edit]
A Fwoosh appears in Mario Golf: World Tour as the icon for how much wind is blowing on the course. It also appears on the "Strong wind!" notification, blowing away some Fly Guys.
Super Mario-kun[edit]
A Fwoosh appears while Mario, Yoshi, and the Bob-omb Buddy ride on a magic carpet in Rainbow Ride in volume 16 of Super Mario-kun. The Fwoosh blows Mario's hat away, and it lands on a Big Boo.
