[[File:FwooshScreenshot64.png|thumb|left|A Fwoosh preparing to blow Mario from the mountaintop in ''Super Mario 64'']]
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', a single Fwoosh will blow [[Mario]] and [[Mario Cap|his cap]] off [[Tall, Tall Mountain]]. Mario cannot defeat it but [[Wario]] can walk right past it with his metal ability. The mountain wall after it is a portal to a secret slide. [[Yoshi]] also has the ability to eat it and defeat it by spewing fire at it. The original version depicts them with a partially transparent body, large eyebrows, closed eyes, and a feline-shaped mouth with a happy expression, while the remake gives it a solid, angrier appearance vaguely resembling a [[Boo]]. In addition, the DS remake grants the Fwoosh the ability to turn around in order to always face the character.
