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

==History==
===''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''===
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.
