'''Tweesters''', originally referred to as '''whirlwinds''' (alternatively capitalized),<ref> {{cite|quote='''Warning''' Avoid the Whirlwinds!

'''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.

Whirlwinds debut in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', where they forcefully blow [[Mario]] one screen to the north and one screen to the east in [[Dry Dry Desert (Paper Mario)|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 whirlwind (in an area with blue cacti) can be used to throw Mario next to the [[Spin Attack (Badge)|Spin Attack]] [[Badge]] on top of a high rock that cannot be reached by any other means.
