'''Foos''' are white cloud-like enemies that first appeared in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They produce fog that can obscure the player's view. Foos can be defeated with any kind of attack. Their name comes from [[Fwoosh]], a similar enemy from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its [[Super Mario 64 DS|remake]] that blows wind.

==Trivia==
*In some early trailer footage of ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', the white part of [[Twister]] had a cloudy appearance resembling a Foo with elements of [[Ty-foo]]'s design.<ref>Nintendo (February 13, 2019). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjJWzJC8Kfk&t=39s Super Mario Maker 2 - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved February 13, 2019.</ref> This resemblance was closer in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style, where they lacked the blue cheeks and had pink lips.<ref>Nintendo (May 15, 2019). [https://youtu.be/jPi-u0D8sQ4?t=194 Super Mario Maker 2 Direct 5.15.2019]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved May 15, 2019.</ref> This design seems to have been entirely overwritten, as it is not present in the final game's data.<ref>[https://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_switch/supermariomaker2/sheet/119097/#comments The Spriters Resource], comment by Random Talking Bush.
