They have spinning flowers on their heads that allow them to hover around.

|
| ==History==
| | A '''Spindrift''' is an odd-looking creature from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. |
| ===''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''===
| |
| 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''===
| | Spindrifts have a flower of their heads to hover around. They also have a yellow cone at the bottom of their heads. A green cape tops the first half of the yellow cone. |
| While standard Spindrifts do not appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', one of the game's bosses, [[Torkdrift]], is a mechanical Spindrift.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Unused appearances===
| | A Spindrift's head is just a white sphere with two eyes and an amazed-looking mouth. |
| ====''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.

|
| ==Gallery==
| | If [[Mario]] jumps on the creature, the Spindrift will release three coins, and Mario will spin in the air. |
