'''Tweesters''' are tornado-like enemies found in many [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' games]] that try to touch [[Mario]] so that he flies up into the air and lands somewhere that he doesn't want to land. In most of the games they cannot harm Mario directly and can only force him into a more dangerous situation. They are usually found in desert levels.

==Appearances==
===''Super Mario series''===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[Image:Tweester.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Artwork of a Tweester from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', their only appearance was in the Desert level of [[Desert Hill]], where they would trap [[Mario]] in an air pocket and move him backwards.  The only way to get past one would be to run until the P-Meter's reached ''P'', and then jump into the air before the player hits the Tweester. There is no way for Mario to defeat a Tweester, and so they will always remain in their location.

====''Super Mario 64''/''Super Mario 64 DS''====
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]], if Mario touched one of them, he would be sent upwards and slowly float downwards as if he had jumped off a [[Spindrift]]. They are also situated next to quicksand, which is a tactical spot for them to be placed so that they can try to get Mario to be defeated. They appeared in [[Shifting Sand Land]].

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
Tweesters are seen in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', where they are created by [[Petey Piranha]] in the second battle.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Tweesters appear in World 6-A. They are very big and immobile, and they no longer have mean faces. If Mario comes in contact with one, he would be send upwards and do a Spin Jump, similar to in ''Super Mario 64''.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====

Tweesters appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''; however, instead of having mean faces, here they have big white eyeballs, no mouth, and they are actually a bit helpful. However, the garbage they are flinging around can hurt [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] if he makes contact with it. Also when the player touches one, he will spin around. Then he has to do a [[spin]], and the Tweester will make him go flying in the air while Mario or Luigi spins his arms around very quickly like a helicopter. This allows Mario to fly like a helicopter for a very short time. Similar and bigger tornadoes without eyes called [[Galactic Tornado]]es also appear in this game. These tornadoes appeared in the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]] and made a small appearance in [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]]. Tweesters do not appear in the sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
A single Tweester appeared in the episode [[Mind Your Mummy Mommy, Mario]], when their [[Steam Cloud Balloon]] got caught by it.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the first game where they had nasty faces, they would blow Mario one screen north and one screen east in [[Dry Dry Desert]]. It is highly recommended not to touch them, as Mario could easily get lost in the vast sands. However, one particular Tweester (in an area with blue cacti) could blow Mario near a [[Badge]] on top of a high rock, and this Badge could not be reached by any other means.

===''Mario Party'' series===

Like many other minor enemies, Tweesters were featured as [[Orb|Capsules]] in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' franchise]]. In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', a Tweester Capsule would send the [[Star]] to a new location, echoing the roles of the [[Lucky Lamp]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and the [[Chomp Call]] in ''[[Mario Party 4]]''.

In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', there was a [[Tweester Orb]] that, when the other person touched it, would steal [[coin]]s from them.

In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', they took the player to another place if they walked over one of them.

In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', it is possible that the [[Bloway Candy]] is based on a Tweester.

===''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''===
In ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'' a Tweester attacks the [[S.S. Brass]], making it spin out of control. This Tweester appeared on an island, and not the desert, as they usually do.
