'''Tweesters''' are [[Tornado]]-like enemies found in few [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' games]] that try to touch the player, sending them into the air in an attempt to redirect they're movements and hinder they're progression. In all of the games (Excluding Super Mario Galaxy with the debris) they cannot harm the player directly and can only attempt to force them into a more dangerous situation. They are usually found in desert levels.

==History==
===''Paper Mario''===
[[File:Tweester.gif|thumb|A Tweester as it appears in ''Paper Mario''.]]
Tweesters debut in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', in which they have menacing faces, they forcefully blow Mario one screen to the north and one screen to the east in [[Dry Dry Desert]] if he comes into contact with them. It is highly recommended not to touch them, as the player can easily get lost within the vast sands. However, one particular Tweester (in an area with blue cacti) can be used to throw Mario next to an elevated [[Badge]] on top of a high rock which cannot be reached by any other means.

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

Like several other minor enemies, Tweesters were featured as [[Orb|Capsules]] in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' franchise]]. In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', a Tweester Capsule can be used to send the [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] to a new location. It has the same effect as the [[Lucky Lamp]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and is also similar to the [[Chomp Call]] in ''[[Mario Party 4]]''.

In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', players can obtain a [[Tweester Capsule|Tweester Orb]] that can be placed on the board as a roadblock. If other players pass through its space, a Tweester appears and moves the player to a random space on the board. It is also possible that the [[Bloway Candy]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' is inspired by Tweesters, as players who use it become a tornado and forcibly throw any other players they come into contact with back to the [[Start Space]]. This function is also somewhat similar to the [[Klepto Orb]] from ''Mario Party 6''.

===''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''===

In ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'', a Tweester attacks the [[SS Brass]], making it spin out of control. This Tweester appears on an island and is not situated in the desert as most are.

===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[File:SMG DD Tweester.png|thumb|left|x100px|Tweesters in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
Tweesters' first appearance in the ''Super Mario'' series is in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''; however, instead of having menacing faces, they only have white eyeballs that follow Mario around. These Tweesters can also be helpful at times, being used to traverse obstacles. Touching one will also cause them to spin around. If the player then [[spin]]s using the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]], the Tweester will make [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] go flying into the air and spin their arms around very quickly like a helicopter. Some Tweesters have debris spinning around them, which hurt Mario or Luigi if they make contact with it. Similar, but larger tornadoes without eyes known as [[Galactic Tornado]]es also appear in this game. These tornadoes appear in the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]] and also make a small appearance in [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]]. Tweesters do not appear in the sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and are replaced by [[Galactic Tornado]]es.

===''Virtual Boy Wario Land''===
[[File:Tweester VBWL.png|thumb|right|Screenshot of Wario with two of the creatures that resemble Tweesters.]]
Tornado creatures that resemble Tweesters appear in [[Stage 7 (Virtual Boy Wario Land)|Stage 7]] of ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]''. Wario is able to ride on top of these Tornado creatures, so he can safely cross fields of harmful [[Plant Chomper]]s. Tornadoes can be seen spawning from the sky, taking shape once they hit the ground. If Wario tries to jump on a Tornado creature before it has fully formed, he will be briefly lifted into the air. Wario is also able to lead a Tornado creature to defeat the [[Big Blob]] that guards one of the doors in Stage 7.
