Editing Wind

[[File:NSMBW World 2-4 Screenshot.png|thumb|Wind in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'']]
'''Wind''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] is a mechanic often appearing as an obstacle. While wind itself cannot hurt the player, it can blow them into an enemy or a [[pit]].
==History==
===''Golf'' / ''Mario Golf'' series===
Wind is a factor to consider when planning shots in ''[[Golf (series)|Golf]]'' and ''[[Mario Golf (series)|Mario Golf]]'' games, similarly to real-world golf. Its speed and direction influences where the ball will land.

===''Mario Party'' series===
In the [[Minigame]]s [[Tightrope Treachery]] and [[Rainbow Run (minigame)]], the player can lose balance from cannonballs and strong winds, as mentioned in the advice section.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
[[File:SMAS LL World A-3 Screenshot.png|150px|thumb|[[Luigi]] avoiding wind in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', wind<ref>''Super Mario All-Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 48.</ref> appears for the first time as one of the game's new special features. It is represented by floating leaves. While it is dangerous at times, it is needed to clear a few gaps in some levels. Some of these gaps are so big that crossing them requires the player to use a combination of [[trampoline]]s, wind, and bouncing off of one or more enemies. Wind is not present in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' versions of the levels, requiring changes to some of them.

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
In some levels of ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its [[Super Mario 64 DS|DS remake]], such as [[Cool, Cool Mountain]]; [[Tall, Tall Mountain]]; [[Tiny-Huge Island]]; and the DS-exclusive [[Chief Chilly Challenge]], there are upward gusts of wind that can carry the player over a gap. Horizontal wind also appears in a few of these areas and a few more, such as [[Snowman's Land]] and [[Rainbow Ride]], and can push the player into a gap or other obstacle instead. In addition, a cloud enemy called [[Fwoosh]] guards the entrance to the [[Slide (Super Mario 64)|slide]] on Tall, Tall Mountain; it will attempt to blow the player away as they cross. These gusts of wind, as well as those of the Snowman's Land snowman, can also blow the character's [[cap]] away. A wind gust in Chief Chilly Challenge can only be passed by [[Metal Mario|Metal Wario]] due to its strength.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:Floaty Fluff.png|thumb|left|Wind in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
Wind<ref>Black, Fletcher. ''Super Mario Galaxy'' [[Prima Games|PRIMA]] Official Game Guide, page 166.</ref> appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]]. Here, the player must ride [[Fluff (object)|Floaty Fluff]]s to cross large, windy gaps.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Wind<ref>Bueno, Fernando. ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' [[Prima Games|PRIMA]] Official Game Guide, page 46.</ref> reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. It only appears in [[World 2-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 2-4]], where it can blow [[coin]]s around the level, and can be noticed by the sand that it carries along the way. Enemies in the level will turn against the wind when it comes and won't move until it goes away. It can also push the player right, though Mario can [[crouch]] to stand still. Like in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', it is needed to reach certain parts of the level, mainly one of the [[Star Coin]]s and the [[Goal Pole (secret)|hidden goal]].

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', wind is blown by windmills in [[Honeybloom Galaxy]], [[Cloudy Court Galaxy]], and [[Grandmaster Galaxy]]. The clouds created by [[Cloud Mario]] can be carried by the gust, thus reaching far away locations.

====''Super Mario 3D World''====
[[File:SM3DW Ty-Foo Flurries.png|thumb|Three [[Ty-foo]]s blowing wind in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]].]]
Wind appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', where it is blown by the [[Ty-foo]] enemies in the levels [[Ty-Foo Flurries]] and [[Gigantic Seasick Wreck]]. A small gust of wind is seen in the former level, being blown under an abyss that contains a [[Green Star]].

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
Wind appears in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Some gusts of wind will send Mario high into the air. A hidden area found post-game in the [[Cascade Kingdom]] has wind that blows intermittently, which can push Mario off the ground. Mario can throw [[Cappy]] at this wind, which will blow Cappy in the direction the wind is facing, and is used to activate [[Lever Switch]]es that would normally be unreachable. Ty-foos also reappear, and can be [[capture]]d in order to blow away enemies and certain platforms.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', wind blows in the desert theme at night, and functions mostly the same way it did in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', except that it can change its direction and frequency depending on the game style.

===''Donkey Kong'' (Game Boy)===
In ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]], wind appears in stages [[Stage 6-6|6-6]], [[Stage 8-10|8-10]], [[Stage 8-16|8-16]], and [[Stage 9-8|9-8]], where they blow Mario left or right slightly based on the direction the clouds in the background are moving.

===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', wind<ref>Shinoda, Paul, Kent Miller. ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' [[Nintendo]] Player's Guide. Page 92.</ref> appears and features prominently in two courses: [[Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Gusty Glade]], where it is used to jump over long holes or hinder the player by blowing them into unwanted directions, and [[Windy Well (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Windy Well]], where the wind blows upward and lifts the Kongs to high platforms. Wind also appears in the [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] and [[Squitter the Spider|Squitter]] portion of the level [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Animal Antics]]. In this game, the wind is represented by leaves, much like in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Wind}}
[[File:Greengreens.jpg|thumb|left|Whispy Woods blowing wind in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.]]
Wind is a generic stage hazard in at least one stage in every ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' game. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', wind is blown by [[Whispy Woods]] on the games' respective [[Dream Land (Super Smash Bros.)|Dream Land]] and [[Green Greens]] stages, and putting fighters at risk of being blown off of the stage. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', wind will sometimes blow wind upwards on [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], causing it to take longer to get down, and [[PictoChat]] sometimes has drawn wind blown to the left, having the effect of wind. Wind also appears in the returning Green Greens stage in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', wind occurs in the [[Paper Mario (stage)|Paper Mario stage]] when the [[Fan]] appears, blowing fighters to the right, and wind can also occur in [[PictoChat 2]]. Dream Land returned as a downloadable stage in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', so wind also appears in those games. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', wind appears in various returning stages, including Dream Land, Green Greens, and PictoChat.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', wind appears on some levels in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]], such as [[The Wilds]], [[The Swamp]], The [[Battleship Halberd Exterior]] and [[The Glacial Peak]]. It blows like normal wind to the side, but it also blows upward in the swamp. The [[smashwiki:Borboras|Borboras]] also blow wind. [[Ridley]] can produce wind from his wings during his boss fight.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', certain [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] battles (e.g. [[Raccoon Mario|Fox Luigi]]) have wind blowing either periodically or constantly. Some spirits can make a fighter partly or completely immune to wind.

===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' / ''New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===
In ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' and its [[Wii]] [[New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat|port]], wind is blown out by [[Wind Mouth]]s.

===''Yoshi Touch & Go''===
Wind reappears in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', where it can blow randomly in some areas, and can be produced by blowing into the microphone, or. It can cause all the created platforms to disappear.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', wind serves as a hindrance which stops the player from using the [[Joy (vibe)|Joy]] [[vibe]] to fly up to various areas of a level, as the player may be able to skip parts of a level or access secret areas with the ability.

===''Yoshi's Island DS''===
[[File:YIDSBabyPeachParasol.png|thumb|Baby Peach using her parasol to catch wind.]]
In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', [[Baby Peach]] can use her parasol to catch wind currents that allow her and Yoshi to reach higher platforms.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Super Paper Mario''====
Wind exists near the end of [[The Dotwood Tree|Chapter 3-3]] of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. The player can ride the red wind to the [[Warp Pipe]] at the end to finish the chapter.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', when Mario and [[Huey]] go to [[Mustard Café]] after saving the purple [[Big Paint Star]], they are both blown by a gust of wind into a giant hole that the Paint Star repainted.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart 7''====
Wind appears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' on several courses, such as [[3DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] and [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain|Rock Rock Mountain]]. It is often blown out of [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s and can push the player around. It can also be used for the elevation of a glider, such as that blown by [[Koopa Clown Car]]s in [[Wuhu Loop]] and [[3DS Neo Bowser City|Neo Bowser City]]. The [[Screaming Pillar]]s in [[3DS DK Jungle|DK Jungle]] blow wind that pushes the player back. [[Current]]s in courses such as [[3DS Wario Shipyard|Wario Shipyard]] function similarly to wind.

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
Wind reappears in {{classic|3DS|Neo Bowser City}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' and in {{classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}}, [[Ninja Hideaway]], {{classic-link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}}, and {{classic-link|Tour|Singapore Speedway}} in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' for the latter game. In {{classic|DS|Shroom Ridge}}, wind acts as a shortcut near the end of the track, and like in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', tricks can be performed by driving over wind.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
[[File:MKT Tour13 WarioCupChallenge.png|thumb|left|Wind propellers in [[SNES Mario Circuit 1]]'s Glider Challenge]]
Wind reappears in the returning courses Rock Rock Mountain and Neo Bowser City in ''Mario Kart Tour'', and is usually added to trick and reverse/trick variants of courses, such as [[DS DK Pass|DS DK Pass R/T]]. When driven over, it grants a [[Jump Boost]]. Wind also usually appears in [[Precision Gliding]] and [[Glider Challenge]]s, and it is usually created by pipes and propellers. It is also created by the fans and bamboo in Ninja Hideaway. Propellers emitting wind can also appear up and down in this game, with downwards wind being used to cause the player to drop down.

In some courses or variants such as [[Vancouver Velocity 2|Vancouver Velocity 2R/T]], wind is used in the {{wp|Stanley Park}} section to allow the player to perform Jump Boosts.

===''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''===
Strong gusts of wind appear near the top of [[Mount Pajamaja]] and in [[Somnom Woods]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', which push [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in its direction while they are using [[Spin Jump (Mario & Luigi series)|Spin Jump]].
