They have spinning flowers on their heads that allow them to hover around. | | A '''Spindrift''' is a flying enemy from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Spindrifts have a spinning flower on their heads which allows them to hover around. They also have a yellow cone at the bottom of their heads. A green leaf-like cape tops the first half of the yellow cone. A Spindrift's head is just a white sphere with two eyes and a mouth shaped like a reverted triangle, making the face look like it is surprised at something. In the [[Super Mario 64 DS|DS remake]] their heads now have a peach-yellow color, their flowers are somewhat bigger, their mouths and eyes are smaller and their mouths are now colored black instead of red. |

| ==History==
| | [[File:Beta9 NSMB.jpg|thumb|left|A Spindrift in a prototype [[List of New Super Mario Bros. beta elements|beta]] version of ''New Super Mario Bros.'']] |
| ===''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''===
| | If [[Mario]] jumps on the creature, the Spindrift releases three [[coin]]s, and Mario [[Spin Jump]]s in the air. This technique could be used to get to other areas in new ways. Spindrifts appear in both snow worlds [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] and [[Snowman's Land]]. Spindrifts were [[List of New Super Mario Bros. beta elements|supposed to appear]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', but were taken out of the final version. They were replaced by the blue-white boards allowing [[Mario]] to perform a [[Spin Jump]]. |
| Spindrifts roam around a small area, heading slowly towards the player character when he is in their proximity. They can hover above [[water]] in the [[Nintendo DS]] version. If the player character [[jump]]s on a Spindrift, it releases three [[coin]]s and the character [[Spin Jump|spin-jump]]s in the air, which can potentially allow him to reach certain higher areas. Spindrifts appear in both snow courses: [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] and [[Snowman's Land]]. In the latter course, several of them make their home inside an igloo, with the Japanese and Korean names for the mission [[Into the Igloo]] translating to "Spindrift's Home."

| ===''Super Mario Odyssey''===
| |
| While standard Spindrifts do not appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', one of the game's bosses, [[Torkdrift]], is a mechanical Spindrift.
| |
| | |
| ===Unused appearances===
| |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
| |
| Spindrifts were [[List of New Super Mario Bros. pre-release and unused content|included in pre-release builds]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' but were removed in the final version, where [[Spin Block (New Super Mario Bros.)|Spin Blocks]] fulfill their function. | |
