Template:Species-infobox Template:Quote2 Twisters are wind-producing entities in Super Mario Maker 2, classified as a gizmo. They are small white spheres with eyes, and in the 2D styles, they have small hair-like protrusions around their bodies. They hover along the ground and spin around, producing a large tornado above them that can lift both the player and enemies.

In some early trailer footage, they had a cloudy appearance resembling a Foo with elements of Ty-foo's design, but were redesigned. This resemblance was closer in the New Super Mario Bros. U style, where they lacked the blue cheeks, and had pink lips. This design seems to have been entirely overwritten, as it is not present in the final game's data.[1]

Twisters later reappear in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit as obstacles in Tornado Tundra, where they slow down racers that make contact with them.
