A '''Swirlwind''' is an obstacle, which appears in the [[Game Boy]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They first appear in [[Snake Charmer's Challenge]], but only for a brief moment. However, they are found again in the level, [[Swirlwind Storm]], and are the main obstacles of the stage. 

Swirlwinds are not like ordinary obstacles from the game. These objects begin to move as soon as the Kongs jump on them. They will continue to follow the heroes throughout the level, until it falls into a hole or abyss. With Swirlwinds, the Kongs can collect items high in the air, and even get into [[Bonus Level]]s with their aid. They can also reach high ledges or ropes with these special tires. Although Swirlwinds help the monkeys, they can also damage them. If one of the heroes touch the side of them, they'll get damaged easily. They may also cause the Kongs to fall in an abyss if they aren't careful when it drops down.

-A '''Swirlwind'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Land'' instruction booklet, page 21.</ref>, known in an early ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' preview as a '''Tornado'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 69, page 91.</ref>, is a [[tornado]]-like enemy that appears in two levels of ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They first appear in [[Snake Charmer's Challenge]], although they are only featured briefly. They later appear in another level with their name, [[Swirlwind Storm]], where they are the main obstacle and feature.
-Swirlwinds are unique in that they move while [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]] bounce on them. They continue following the [[Kong]]s before eventually falling into a pit. Although they are an enemy, Swirlwinds are more advantageous to the Kongs, who can bounce on Swirlwinds to reach higher areas, out of reach items, and even a [[Bonus Level]]. If the Kongs touch the side of Swirlwind, they take damage. Swirlwinds may also cause the Kongs to fall in an abyss when it drops down into one. Swirlwinds sometimes obscure a nearby item, such as a [[K-O-N-G Letters|K-O-N-G Letter]].
