==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:SMAS SMB3 World 2-D Screenshot.png|thumb]]
Tornadoes, also referred to as '''whirlwinds''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 11, page 13.</ref> debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', only appearing in {{world-link|2|desert|World 2-Desert}} of [[Desert Land]], where they can trap [[Mario]] in an air pocket and throw him backwards if he gets too close. The only way to get past one is to run until the [[P-Meter|Power Meter]] is fully charged, and then jump into the air before colliding with the Tornado. There is no way for Mario to defeat a tornado in this game, and thus they will always remain in the same location.

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:TweesterSM64.png|thumb|A tornado in [[Shifting Sand Land]]]]
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', if Mario, [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] comes into contact with a tornado, he is thrown upwards and slowly floats downwards (similar to jumping off a [[Spindrift]]). Tornadoes are also situated next to quicksand, so the player must be careful not to fall in. In these games, they appear only in [[Shifting Sand Land]].

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', tornadoes are found in the mission [[Petey Piranha Strikes Back]]. If Mario gets too close to [[Petey Piranha]], he creates tornadoes that blow Mario backwards.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', tornadoes appear only in [[World 6-A (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 6-A]]. They are very large and immobile. If Mario comes in contact with one, he is thrown upwards and spins as he floats back down (similar to ''Super Mario 64'').

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:SMG Dusty Dune Tornado.png|x100px|thumb|left|Mario descending from a tornado in ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
Regular and slim tornadoes appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' in the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]]. They have the ability to propel [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] high in the air, causing them to make a propeller-like motion while soaring. If the player does not land high up, Mario or Luigi will slowly start to descend, still moving like a propeller. Players can launch themselves upward from any tornado by shaking the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]]. Slim ones also appear in [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], but as an unreachable background element on the desert planet. Additionally, an enemy called [[Tweester (Super Mario Galaxy)|Tweester]] also makes an appearance in this galaxy.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG2 Tornado Screenshot.png|thumb|x100px|Two tornadoes from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'']]
Slim tornadoes reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', with the same role as in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. In this game, they do not appear in desert-themed galaxies, but rather in the [[Melty Monster Galaxy]].

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
{{main|Twister}}
[[File:SMM2tornadoenemy.png|thumb|80px|A Twister.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', new gizmos called [[Twister]]s consist of tornadoes that lift the player and certain enemies and objects upwards.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Sneaking Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]," Giant Big Mouth creates a tornado, referred as a Reptile Breath Tornado,  by blowing Mario away. A tornado, referred as a Mushroom Kingdom twister, also appears in the episode "[[Mind Your Mummy Mommy, Mario]],"  where the [[Steam Cloud Balloon]] is caught in it.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' series====
[[File:TornadoMKAGP.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', Tornadoes are used as an offensive item. When used, it is fired in a straight line, similar to the [[Green Shell]] and other straight-shot items, and stops when it touches a wall. Any [[kart]]s caught in the path of the tornado are lifted off the ground for a second before falling, slowing them down temporarily.

====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
A tornado appears in the racetrack [[GCN Dry Dry Desert|Dry Dry Desert]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', where it flings racers that drive into it into the air. This tornado does not return in the course's retro appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.

===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''===
A tornado appears in the [[Glare Desert]] court as an obstacle in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''. It causes the player to get hurt or lose the ball.

===''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''===
[[File:DKCTF FranticFields.jpg|thumb|2o0px|A tornado in ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'']]
Tornadoes appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]], where they appear in the level [[Frantic Fields]]. When one of the [[Kong]]s enters a tornado, they are hurled backwards or forwards, depending on the direction the obstacle faces. Tornadoes cannot be destroyed.

===''Mario Golf'' series===
====''Mario Golf: World Tour''====
[[File:MGWT Tornado.png|thumb|left|The item icon]]
The Tornado is an item that appears in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''. When used, it creates a tornado around the golf ball that gives it more distance and sucks up any close [[coin]]s, [[Star Coin]]s and [[Moon Coin]]s. Unlike the [[Bullet Bill]], it follows the path of the shot such as curving along with the ball for a fade or draw. It can be used in certain Challenges to collect both Star Coins and Moon Coins, sometimes being the only way of retrieving them. As well as collect coins, Tornadoes may also be used to generate more distance, allowing for better shots without the expense of changing clubs or using a [[Power Shot (Mario Golf series)|Power Shot]].

====''Mario Golf: Super Rush''====
Tornadoes reappear in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', functioning akin to how they did in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', except that the player staying atop a tornado for enough time does not descend. Riding a tornado unlocks the adventure diary entry "Ride The Winds".

===''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''===
Tornadoes reappear as obstacles in certain stages in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', primarily in [[Sherbet Desert]]. During the turn transition between the heroes and the enemies, the tornado will start moving in a straight line from a random position, deducting some [[Heart Point|HP]] from any characters in its path, as well as bouncing them to another position, something which is actually required in certain challenges such as [[Throw Caution to the Wind]]. After moving, the direction the tornado goes next is deduced by the direction pointed to by weathercocks scattered around the battlefield. There are two kinds of tornadoes: yellow sandy ones that do not do anything outside of [[Bounce|Bouncing]] and damaging characters, and blue snowy ones that also cause the [[Freeze]] Super Effect.
