'''Tweesters''', originally referred to as '''whirlwinds''' (alternatively capitalized),<ref> {{cite|quote='''Warning''' Avoid the Whirlwinds! Although you don't fight them, they'll lift you up and plop you somewhere in the grid and you'll have no idea where you are.|author=Farkas, Bart G|title=''Paper Mario'' Official Strategy Guide|page=64}}</ref> are [[tornado]]-like enemies found in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] that try to touch the player, sending them into the air in an attempt to redirect their movements and hinder their progression. In all of the games, they cannot harm the player directly and can only attempt to force them into a more dangerous situation.

Tweesters are some of the few original [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] characters to reappear in other ''Super Mario'' games, along with [[Whacka]]s, [[Koopatrol]]s, [[Goomboss]], and the [[Star Spirits]].
