They have spinning flowers on their heads that allow them to hover around. They also have yellow cones at the bottoms of their heads. Green leaf-like capes top the first halves of the yellow cones. A Spindrift's head is just a white sphere with two eyes and a small mouth. In the [[Nintendo DS]] remake, Spindrifts' heads have a peach-yellow color, the flowers on their heads are somewhat bigger, they have eyelashes, and their mouths are darker. They can also hover above [[water]] in the DS version. | |||
[[ | If [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] [[jump]]s on a Spindrift, it releases three [[coin]]s and the player character [[Spin Jump|spin-jump]]s in the air. This technique can be used to get to other areas in new ways. Spindrifts appear in both snow courses: [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] and [[Snowman's Land]]. In the latter course, several of them make their home inside an igloo. | ||
Spindrifts were [[List of New Super Mario Bros. pre-release and unused content|included in pre-release builds]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' but were removed in the final version, where [[Spin Block (New Super Mario Bros.)|Spin Blocks]] fulfill their function. | |||
Spindrifts | While standard Spindrifts do not appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', one of the game's bosses, [[Torkdrift]], is a mechanical Spindrift. | ||
