'''Geno Whirl''' is an attack [[Geno]] learns at Level 11 in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. It is a disk attack that follows a straight path to and through the enemy. Geno Whirl is notable for being one of the most powerful attacks in the game; if the player pushes the Y button right as the attack leaves the screen, 9999 damage is dealt to the enemy. This strategy however does not work on bosses (except for [[Exor]] and [[Yaridovich (double)|Yaridovich mirages]]), the chest monsters ([[Pandorite]], [[Hidon]], [[Box Boy]] and [[Chester]]), and [[Shy Ranger]]s. The attack must be timed precisely; otherwise it will do an unimpressive amount of damage. Geno Whirl costs eleven [[Flower Point]]s to use, and is one of the few magic attacks Geno can perform that does not instruct the player beforehand.
