Fluffs (or floating fluffs)[1] first appear during "Fluff Festival Coin Hunt" in Super Mario Sunshine. Fluffs are the primary fixture in Pianta Village's local Fluff Festival, during which they are floating into the sky. Mario can grab one and use it to glide from the top of the giant palm tree in the center of the village to a nearby cloud to retrieve the mission's Shine Sprite. Fluffs move back and forth between the two areas with quick but regular movements.
In addition to the festival itself, dialogue with the local Piantas suggests fluffs are of cultural significance to them. They are incorporated into various songs. The guitarist of the Doot-Doot Sisters specifically plays a ballad during "Secret of the Village Underside" about a lover being whisked away into the sky on a fluff. Fluffs are also the basis for a dance called the "fluff-fluff dance."
Super Mario Galaxy
Floaty Fluffs appear in Super Mario Galaxy and its Nintendo Switch port. Here, one starts out on the ground, appearing as a large fluffy pink dandelion usually found in clusters of three or more. Performing a spin near a cluster of Floaty Fluff causes them to rise out of the ground into the air. Mario or Luigi can then jump to grab on to a piece, after which he can travel safely over large gaps by gliding on gusty winds. While he glides with Floaty Fluff, shaking 
causes it to ascend slightly higher. This can be done only thrice each time Mario or Luigi grabs on to a new piece of Floaty Fluff. Floaty Fluff appears only in the Gusty Garden Galaxy, where it is used throughout most of the missions in the galaxy.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Floaty Fluffs retain the same functions in Super Mario Galaxy 2, during which they appear in Honeyhop Galaxy and Bowser's Galaxy Generator. They again are used to cross large gaps that cannot be traversed otherwise.
