Whirlwind



A whirlwind is an object that first appeared in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. If Mario and Luigi move into one while doing a Spin Jump, they will be sucked into it. While inside, they can be launched farther than they could normally go. In Joke's End, the steam the broth cauldrons release can be spin-jumped into to create whirlwinds, and if Luigi hammers Pump Mario to make him spit out a glob of water at the whirlwind, it can be used to douse the fires on the lit candles in a room to open a door to progress.

Whirlwinds reappeared in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, where they served the same purpose, to launch the brothers farther than they could normally go when they spin-jump into them.
