Twister

Twisters are wind-producing entities in Super Mario Maker 2, classified as a gizmo. They are small white spheres with eyes, and in the 2D styles, they have small hair-like protrusions around their bodies. They hover along the ground and spin around, producing a large tornado above them that can lift both the player and enemies.

In some early trailer footage, they had a cloudy appearance resembling a Foo with elements of Ty-foo's design, but were redesigned. This resemblance was closer in the New Super Mario Bros. U style, where they lacked the blue cheeks, and had pink lips. This design seems to have been entirely overwritten, as it is not present in the final game's data.

Twisters later reappear in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit as obstacles in Tornado Tundra, where they slow down racers that make contact with them.

Trivia

 * This is the only unique entity which debuted in the Super Mario Maker games to make an appearance outside of them.
