A '''Spindrift'''<ref>Pelland, Scott, and Dan Owsen. ''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide. Page 10.</ref>, or '''Flower Head'''<ref>(June 10, 1998). [https://web.archive.org/web/19980610064450/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/4-6.html Course 4 - Star 6: Wall Kicks Will Work]. ''Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy'' (Internet Archive: Wayback Machine). Retrieved February 23, 2018.</ref>, is a hovering 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 small mouth. In the [[Super Mario 64 DS|Nintendo DS remake]], their heads now have a peach-yellow color, their flowers on their heads are somewhat bigger, and their mouths are now colored black instead of red. They can also hover above water in the DS version.

If [[Mario]] jumps on the creature, the Spindrift releases three [[coin]]s, and Mario [[Spin Jump]]s in the air. This technique can be used to get to other areas in new ways. Spindrifts appear in both snow worlds: [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] and [[Snowman's Land]]. In the latter world, several of them make their home inside of an igloo.

Spindrifts were [[List of New Super Mario Bros. pre-release and unused content|supposed to appear]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', but were taken out of the final version, where [[Spin Block (New Super Mario Bros.)|Spin Blocks]] fulfill their function.

While standard Spindrifts do not appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', one of the game's bosses, [[Torkdrift]], is a mechanical Spindrift.
