Wii]]''. They typically appear only in sky-themed [[level]]s. Clouds sometimes conceal items such as [[coin]]s and [[1-Up Mushroom]]s or winged enemies such as [[Para-Beetle]]s. The clouds are cleared if the player character physically passes through them or performs a certain move, such as spinning in their [[Propeller Mario|Propeller form]]. | |

| [[File:NSMBW World 7-6 Screenshot.png|200px|thumb|left|Propeller Mario among clouds in World 7-6]] | | In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', clouds first appear in [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-1]] at the high up part of the level. They can be cleared away using a [[Spin Jump]]. In [[World 7-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-5]], [[Foo]]s create {{Conjectural|'''fog'''}}, which acts similarly to clouds, although it dissipates on its own. |
| Clouds appear throughout ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', where they conceal items of interest such as [[Star Coin]]s, terrain, and airborne enemies. Making direct physical contact with or performing a [[Spin Jump]] near clouds clears them. However, the player character can clear a much wider radius of clouds if he performs a [[fly|Propeller Jump]] while in his Propeller form or uses a [[Propeller Block]]. While not exclusive to them, clouds are a prominent element of sky-themed levels, where they shroud the bottom of the screen and appear flying through the air in large numbers.

| Clouds first appear in [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-1]], a level that also introduces the [[Propeller Mushroom]], near the top of the level. In the desert-themed [[World 2-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 2-5]], a cloud above a tall [[Tree|palm tree]] conceals a Star Coin. [[Jumbo Ray]]s leap through clouds in [[World 5-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5-5]], where they obstruct the player's view of [[bridge]]s, coins, and oncoming [[Bullet Bill]]s. Clouds are prominent in the sky-themed [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7]]. In [[World 7-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-5]], [[Foo]]s create temporary clouds that conceal terrain. There is a small alcove with a [[P Switch]] where cloud coverage is very dense. Para-Beetles and [[Heavy Para-Beetle]]s fly through clouds in [[World 7-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-6]], and clouds conceal the location of [[Skewer]]s in {{world-link|7|castle|World 7-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. In [[World 9-8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-8]], clouds shroud [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]] and collectible coins.

| |
| Like ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', clouds, referred to as mist in-game, function as concealments in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and primarily appear in sky-themed leveled. In addition to the returning Propeller form, the player character can more effectively clear mist if they perform a Spin Jump with a [[Balloon Baby Yoshi]] in-hand or jump mid-glide while in their [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Flying Squirrel form]]. Clearing certain patches of mist can cause [[coin]]s to rain from the sky.
| |
| | |
| Their first appearance is in [[Mushroom Heights]], where they conceal floating coins. They hide a Star Coin [[Skyward Stalk]] and conceal terrain in [[Waddlewing's Nest]]. They are recurring in the world [[Meringue Clouds]], where they appear in [[Seesaw Shrooms (level)|Seesaw Shrooms]], [[Bouncy Cloud Boomerangs]], [[A Quick Dip in the Sky]], and [[Snaking above Mist Valley]]. In the lattermost level, [[Snake Block]]s weave through large clusters of mist and move back and forth in a way to delay their expected exit. Mist also appears in [[Clockwork Castle]] and [[Boarding the Airship]], as well as the Challenges [[Slick Slopes and Bullet Bills]], [[Rickety Sprint]], [[Airship 1-Up Rally]], and [[Bowser's Airship Sneak]]. In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', mist appears in [[Piranha Heights]], [[Beanstalk Jungle]], [[Frozen Fuzzies]], [[Above the Bouncy Clouds]], [[Three-Headed Snake Block]], and [[Bowser Jr. Showdown]]. Mist appears unaltered and in the same levels in the reissue ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''.

| Fog is both a decorative and gameplay object in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. In kingdoms positioned high in the sky or [[Coin Heaven]]s, fog is a dense white or gray sheet that stretches off into the horizon, completely obscuring anything below it. [[Cap Throw]]s can clear fog, making Spin Throws an effective mean of clearing an area. [[Cap Kingdom|Bonneton]] and [[Cloud Kingdom|Nimbus Arena]] are completely shrouded in fog, covering the [[pit|void]] surrounding them and several [[Power Moon]]s in the former. Fog directly envelopes hilly terrain in Bonneton and clears as Mario moves throw it. It is also the focus of [[sub-area]]s in [[Wooded Kingdom]], [[Seaside Kingdom]], and [[Mushroom Kingdom]], where much of the playable area is submerged in fog.
