'''Tweesters''' are [[tornado]]-like enemies found in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] that try to touch the player, sending them into the air in an attempt to redirect their movements and hinder their progression. In all of the games, 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''===
Tweesters debut in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', where 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 typically a poor choice 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'' series]]. 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]]''. A Tweester also creates the tornado from the minigame [[Twist 'n' Out]].

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''.

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.
